These garments aren't recent, they are from last year which it was my first year in Fashion. The projects were surrealism and creating a waistcoat with a fabric we were given. For the surrealism project, we didn't have that much choices about fabrics, just bright colours (which I didn't like at all...).My milkshake bottle dress comes from a little day-dream I had once, I was just sitting in a pub, drinking a milkshake with a brain inside, I don't know who was belonging the brain...I knew that it was a strange taste, but I remember I enjoyed it. I thought it was something related about drinking ideas, so then I decided to write "Drink my idea..." I was happy with the result, but I still think if I would have done with another colour (not that bright...) , it would be so much better. I generally used angelina fibres (I'm so much in love with it), textile pen and paint. Am I allowed to drink your brain?



These are my neurons...






My waistcoat, the result with gold and black net made me happy. But it was so annoying stitching with net, it didn't stop making problems at my domestic machine! I really enjoyed to learn these skills of making a garment, it was very hard but at the end I had the result I really wanted. I don't know when, at the moment I am still doing pattern construction for my pioneer spirit garments (corset underbust+jumpsuit), and unfortunately I am very behind .I have to catch up all this, and then making it. When it will be finished, I will be happy to post pictures of it . Thanks for reading my post !

Hello, hope you all had a good christmas with a lot of presents, fun, good times :) Also wishing you a happy new year with a big late ^_^"  It must be one month I didn't post anything, I was literally just relaxing and watching a lot of movies in my christmas holidays. I had also coursework to do. I haven't done new pictures yet, but as soon as I can, I will put my fashion illustrations from the pioneer spirit project. I am already going to show you these fashion illustrations I have enjoyed last year in class. I generally used bleach,paint and wax. I also liked to play with splashes, and create random shapes .









I never told in my blog,but I am obsessed of shoes...Revealing you my obsession, just gonna now share with you, images of shoes I really love, perhaps I won't put everything because it might be too long ;)
Vivienne Westwood.

                                                       Rocking horse shoes.

These two pair of shoes are from Vivienne Westwood's collection called Anglomania.
