Postmodern collection, by 3rd Years

My collection, 'Feminism.'

Even though it was hectic after the rehearsal, shoes were with wrong the collections, garments were worn back to front and the worst thing was seeing the wrong outfit in another's collection! But the evening show made us all so proud even though some outfits were still worn the wrong way... I will never forget this experience, there were high and low points and stressful moments. I thought I was actually going to walk out and never want to see any more threads, fabrics and sewing machines! But last night reminded me for the future that never give up when you're caught up in a challenge because you will never see the result, even if it isn't up to the standard you want, at least you have achieved something.

Also want to share a few images from the other collections, so proud of you all!

Need some blue when the sky is so dull...

Here is what I wore for the degree show as I thought I would look smart but not too dressy. As I had to greet people and explain our collection to them, so I thought smart casual will make them feel more welcomed and a bit more friendlier to approach.

Degree Show 2012~

Today I was working at uni for our year's degree show. This event happens every year within the Art & Design department, where all areas of designing showcases their work and mainly for final year students. Here are some of the VM displays created by a few of my friends on the fashion course and they are AMAZING! Hope you guys enjoy it!

By Amber Davies, Visual Merchandiser, Accessories.

Her inspirations came from our trip to Paris, as she photographed locations from there and made this display into a book. Also she has produced various size pendants of famous architectures as necklaces.

By Puv Bening, Visual Merchandiser.

Puv's theme was viruses and diseases.

I am FINALLY back!

I apologies for my absent on writing on my blog! This year has been so hectic for me as it is my final year doing my Fashion and Design course. Started off with the year producing a small collection of three garments, with the theme of 'Postmodernism.' I was so confused with what the theme was and did struggle a lot to get in depth with the research. But we manage to do some activities, so we can all physically experience i some sort of Postmodern atmosphere. This theme is actually quite broad, it can be about anything to be honest, but with what I found out is that Postmodern is about being different and breaking the rules! I carried on the theme looking into Postmodern architectures and also came across some very interesting textiles techniques. So by combining designing with textured textiles this it was I produced, hope you'll all enjoy it :)~

I then looked into Avant Garde editorials, as the images are very abstract and always have a twist to it. Here is where I got my inspiration to look into texture of materials.

Madame Peripetie

This textile designer, Eleanor Amoroso inspired me this most within this project. The knotting technique she uses in her work was so unique and really made it as a statement piece.
