stretch and print

Here is the first toile for my stretch/print project (I say 'first' as though I'm going to make another one but to be honest I think it's good to go right now).

You may be wondering where the 'print' aspect of this project is, and I must admit that having made the toile in grey -and loving it!- I am dreading making it again in printed fabric and losing the whole drapey minimal thing, oh well, I'll try and find a print that's not too hideous . . . bring on Sheperd's Bush!

weasels and weasels . . .

Here is the first wave of trial screen prints for the current print project.

the concept of modernity

 Here is my final garment from the most recent project:

'The Concept of Modernity'

modeling with a smile

I was flicking through the Issey Miyake s/s 2013 show the other day and there were the usual brooding, sultry looking models when all of a sudden . . .

 up popped this guy! he's the most chipper model I've ever seen and he made me smile x

the concept of modernity

Five vintage garments I bought as inspiration for the current project; The Concept of Modernity.

I have been using details found in these clothes to make samples that will influence my final garment.
