C-c-check it out.

Hello. Peruse my wares, why don't you.




A sneaky sneaky peek of more of my collection. It honestly is all coming together and I am thrilled out of my mind. The fashion show is coming up and that means a whole mess of stress and confusion, but I am so very excited for the whole experience.

Here's yet another sneak peek of all the mayhem I went through to make my 2D work very loverly together. Art just isn't art without a bit of a messy bed and a kitchen table filled with drawings and various forms of caffiene.





Fancy huh? I'm working on getting my new website up and running at the moment, so lots more to juggle. How exciting. Now to prepare for my [mock] interview for my assessment. More soon, my lovely readers!

Oh what was that? I have a blog you say?

Whaaaat, hello blog, long time no see. It's not that I haven't forgotten about you, I just didn't have any time for you, ya get me?

But yes, hello readers, miss my rambles about final year? I'm pleased to say that [what I hope is] the hardest part is over! I've successfully made 6 outfits and handed them in on time and my tutors appeared to have been impressed by it! Ah what a relief! Have a peek of four of the fly boys that modeled my stuff. (Oh dont worry, you'll see the whole lineup later, relax!)


Who's pleased!? I am! There are still more things I need to do though like lengthen the red top under the blue cape and to burn the green jacket some more but that's all fun stuff! The guys who modeled for me were absolutely ace as well! Couldn't have asked for better models :)

Seriously though, I feel like I've learned a helluvalot over the past 3 months...Menswear was something completely new to me (because I'm not the biggest fan of my last "collection" ha) and I think I just about pulled it off! Goodness I can't even fathom that it took 3 months to make everything, what?! This definitely wouldn't have happened without the support of my coursemates though. We are the luckiest year, I think...simply because we're so keen to help each other and we really do look out for each other. There's no stererotypical fashion bitchiness in sight, which is phenomenal! I wouldn't have asked to go through all this manic panic without the Fashion Textiles girls of 2011!

Now its all about the 2D work and everything else ever...technical drawings, illustrations, samples, sketchbook...the FASHION SHOW!?! A whole new can of worms. Oh hay. Lots more to do, but thank goodness the hardest bit is over.

And as the pose suggests, "Yay, bitches!"

Assessment Funk.

Had my assessment today; It went okay. My model was brilliant. The tutors told me things that I already knew. Here's a little taste of what I've done:




The feedback was constructive and quite helpful, but I still managed to come out of it feeling strangely dejected. Ah well, there's no time to let my moods slow me down. After I had my presentation, I modeled for Cassidy and then ran off to the library to find out some more things to inform my final collection.

There are elements that I'd quite like to keep from this little collection and there are things I'd like to add as well. I think I'll go down a more deconstructed path where my fabrics look more worn down and lived in, I think.

Here be some cool things I've been looking up today!

Some sexy post-apocalyptic stuff by graduate Jessica Darwin.

Banging shoes from McQueen from last season. Love the heel.

Mother of London. Now those designs are sick. (good sick, not bad sick o'course)

Going down the apocalyptic root. Totally. Should be fun, yeah?
