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.

 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.

Here are a few pages from my sketchbook for the 'shirt project'

love and hate

Over the Summer we were set the task of creating two mood boards with the themes of' love' and 'hate' that summed up our personalities and were to be presented to the class on the first day: sort of an arty ice breaker.

Anyway, here is what I cam up with.

Love.

 This included David Bowie, beach volleyball, knitting, sequins and Dr Martens.

Hate.

 This included fake pockets, small yappy dogs, sunburn, and technology. Surprisingly the most controversial hatred of my turned out to be Julia Roberts. Who would have thought?
