UPDATE !

Hello everyone,

It's been 4 months now I haven't updated my blog unfortunately due to busy schedule at university.
At the moment, I am making two garments for the menswear tailoring presentation, inspired about a muse I had to find. Also an essay, and portfolio to do!
I will post everything on here once I am finished during my christmas break, and post articles aswell from my internship in a fashion studio during january to february which is really exciting for me. :)
What else to say? I am also planning a project of mine after christmas,  and a professional video of my muse wearing my garments.
I hope you understand why I am so busy currently :)
Yet I show you a picture of my muse, a very talented musician in Berkhamsted, called Marc Wellebrune playing in a band called the Elvyne Howlers, to see their Facebook page, click HERE.
It's mainly all about him I have been influenced through my collection and the final garments I am making right now.

 During the first weeks of october, before making my own garments, I have learned to make a classic half tailored jacket, to establish knowledge.

Some fashion illustrations I have done during the year.

In my illustrations, the materials I use generally are soft pastels or watercolour.

In this post, these are life drawing illustrations I have done from my first year at university.
During the sessions, the model was wearing very important outfits, and most of them were from Vivienne Westwood's old collections.
It is really fun to draw all the details possible on a model. :)

Thank you for reading my article! And by the way I have now a twitter, so if you want to follow me, go HERE !

 

 

Update on my blog

It's been a long time here since I haven't updated my blog, sadly I didn't have the time to post articles  because I was really busy in my life.
Although, it doesn't mean I given up this blog! There are so many things I have to share with you all.

There is one project I have done back in september, basically inspired from many artists I have found in the Post Modernism exhibition from the V&A. It is really silly that I didn't post this yet, as this subject is very interesting and a great discovery of many different aspects.

Very soon I am travelling to Rhodes ,which is a small island in Greece, so there will be a lot of photographs, and certainely I will pop into shops and get fabrics, buttons ,etc. For a project when I am back :) And share this with all of you on this blog.

I haven't posted since march, so I am publishing right now a couple of illustrations I have done before, that I didn't show you yet, I really hope you like it, and if you don't, don't be scared to tell me your opinion and explain what I should change in my illustrations.
I believe criticism is a good thing in fashion , not something to take as negative side, when someone tells you something isn't right or good enough, it is always a good opportunity to try to understand the person and produce the work in a better way.


The 5 first pictures, are from the previous project that you might recognize if you have already been through my blog, about Hiroshima, the terrible event that happened in Japan, back in 1945.

Those illustrations here, were inspired from the Russian Constructivism Art Movement, and the Opera singer Klaus Nomi, which if you take a look about his songs, and life, you will be fascinated as much as I am about him.

Thank you again for reading my articles, and I will very soon post new articles !

Undergraduate Middlesex University 1st years Fashion show 2012

After a very busy week, I am posting the videos of the Fashion show organised from the students in my Fashion course that taken place in Finchley Park, London. It was such a great experience, and there is only one word...WICKED. I enjoyed volunteering as a dresser, it was very challenging and all new for me. However, it was stressful of course, but it didn't stop my joy and excitment! I think everybody did a great job. Below you'll see again my illustration of the garments, the model wearing the final outcome on the catwalk,and a poster of the Fashion Show. :) Then the videos of the fashion show in better quality now, enjoy !

 

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

It's nothing.

This month was busier than the other months, as I am on my way to finish the Hiroshima dress, the results will be posted by next week eventually or the week after when the pictures are taken.

There, I am posting a drawing I did this afternoon. That was a random day-dream I had last month, it represents the everyday's life of a human. If you take a closer look at the drawing, you can see a toothbrush, and an egg, it could remind of the mornings,or something else. I let you have your own vision on this drawing... maybe I could sort of use this illustration for a garment? I was wondering tonight, if I could make a top and get this printed on it when I will have time, we'll see :)

Hiroshima project photoshoot.

So this week, I have managed to find a model and a professional camera for a photoshoot relating to the story of my muse Hanako, an orphan girl that survived during the explosion in Hiroshima.
It was very exciting and challenging as I have no experience in photography.
I am currently doing at the moment my radioactive leggings and I will start very soon the dress aswell from the final design (click here if you haven't seen it yet). I am very very excited to finish all that, and see how the results will end like.
I am so into about what happened in Hiroshima that I'm getting hallucinations. The other day when I was walking in London, I thought I actually saw a bomb falling from the sky !
I hope you like the pictures and one illustration(at the moment) , thank you for reading my posts :-)

 

When the bomb dropped from the sky...

Little Boy

My collection, is inspired a lot about what happened the 6th of August 1945 when the Enola Gay plane dropped the bomb (named 'Little boy' too) in Hiroshima around 8.15am. I haven't posted all the designs yet, but next week I will post all the rest of it.

This is the design I have chosen to make for the Fashion show this year. I have made the pattern already, so from now I just have to make it. :)
