fmptttthp

My collage final major project was on transparency after alot of blood swat and tears it is done. I am veryy happy with the result but at the same time very glad to see the back of it!! Here is a little of the work i did for it, in no perticular order.

Summer shirt

For my my interview at Bristol interview i was as to reinvent an existing garment. I stole a plain white shirt from my brother and wanted to change it into something summery and feminine i could wear. I used some vintage liberty print fabric my nan gave me as my starting of point and chose a block of orange tie dye to make it really modern. I used my friend Heather as my model with the floral background of Seton park her beach looks really complimented the style of the shirt. I am really happy with the result and am even think of taking it on my summer hols.

Hiroshi Tanabe

I have recently discovered the work of Hiroshi Tanabe a Japanese illustrator and think his work is incredible beautiful and fresh. With fantastic colours, a mix of Japanese and vintage style and modern techniques, i have not seen illustrations like them before. I am about to start a new brief in collage and have decided to look at the Japanese cartoon film Spirited away, with this i wanted to look into Japanese culture and art so i will defiantly be using Tanabes work as a reference.

Tom Ford S/S

Tom Ford made the controversial choice to not allow his s/s womanswear collection to be posted on the internet unlike most other designers. I do not believe this was a good decision as it makes fashion elitist and is a stroppy stance against the fast moving pace of current technology in fashion. He has now released a video of his collection and it is hard to deny the spectacular beauty in the in the intimate show. Models looked amazing in his glamorous rich pieces especially Karen Elson whose song also played as the soundtrack. Despite initially shunning publicity he is now reaping in the rewards of holding out, helped out by Beyonce closing the show.

Topshop Wishlist

I had previously blogged about the new Topshop lookbook but it seems to have vanished so i am doing it again. Absolutley loved the whole campaigne with the bright colours and cloashing prints.

Want this shirt!

 

 

 Want those shorts!

 

 Want this dress!

  

 Want this playsuit!

 

 Want theese shorts!

These are just a few things i want, i also need a fringed komonio and a green suede satchel. I am just off to rob a bank now!!

Discovering Kate Bosworth

I have realised i have been oblivious to the wonders of Kate Bosworths style I cant remember the last piece of acting work she did but the red carpet looks are work enough, understated, pretty and intesing indeed.

 

My Dream Shoes

Since i saw theese Channel two-tone heels a few season ago i have been desperatley longing for them, may take a few more years to save for them but until then i can admire Alexa Chung for pulling them off in such a cool way.

British Fashion Awards

As an inspiring fashion designer i can only dream of winning an award at the British Fashion Awards. This year the deserving winners included Pheobe Philo designer of Celine, Nicholas Kirkwood and Meadham Kirchkoff. This year was held at the grand Savoy Theatre and everyone turned up in their gladrags here are some of my favourite looks from the best of British Fashion.

Christmas list item 3.

I am a real tomboy at heart and i must have theese trainers each time i try and buy them there has been some sort of obstical, money, size, colour, i feel the gods are against me. My last hope is to hope i get them under the tree.

Harper Bazer and Emily Blunt

I really like Emily Blunt she seems down to earth and is flying the flag wonderfully for pale girls, such as myself, in fashion. The new Bazer is out and im not usually fussed about this mag as i think it's abit beyond my years but i may have to give it a try after seeing this editorial the colours are spectacular aginst the stone and sky back drop and its deffintly a million miles from this ice cold weather were expierencing. I want something in that blue colour in my wardrobe right now.
