BACK TO BASICS,

This week I officially started back at university and saying i'm now in the 3rd year feels pretty weird, it feels only a day ago i was in my 1st year. I feel this year is going to fly by within a blink of an eye, it's also going to be stressful, fun and exciting. I feel ready and hungry for the year ahead.
So it's back to basics with research for indigo and starting a whole new project.


so here it goes....

Work Placement With Crumpet.

Next week i start my work placement with crumpet for their menswear collection which is being launched next A/W. I'm really looking forward to getting behind the scenes and seeing how it's really done. wish me luck.

Here's their website take a look..... http://www.crumpetengland.com/

Long Time No Post.

woooo. Haven't been on here for a while, feels weird writing again. so since the last time from the scarves being sold in W&G. I've passed all my modules and im now going into the 3rd year which is a pretty scarey feeling, but i've kept my working head on and thought about my ideas for my FMP. I've been collecting images from the internet and magazines to get a head start. At the moment i'm liking the idea of women wearing mens clothes almost like the 'boyish look'. After doing my menswear collection for crumpet it's made me think about putting the two together and designing mens colthes for a womenswear collection, so thinking about oversized blazers, jackets, jumpers and trousers but not losing that 'boyish look'. I've made a start on moodboards and now starting to think about fabrics. It's a big trend for this A/W 11, it's a stylish trend and the sharpe 'cuts' and smart 'lines' are really what i love about this 'boyish' trend.

W&G Scarf.

My scarf has been chosen to been sold in Williams & Griffin in Colchester along 5 other designs. It's on sale for 6weeks. please buy one. The money you spend go towards our graduate show in the 3rd year.

INTERVIEW AT ERDEM. AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

i'm so happy i've got an intervew at Erdem next monday, abit nervous but i'm sure i'll be fine. Need to get a portfolio together and take a garment i've made. i was thinking my coat and taking my fronts for indigo.
Wish me luck. :)

I LIKE CRUMPETS.

I've been given a new brief to design a new menswear A/W 2012 collection for a cashmere company called crumpet. Crumpet doesn't have a menswear collection, so it's upto to me to get the ball rolling for them. I went straight into looking at menswear designers and high end high street brands such as COS and REISS. To get my colour palet i looked at Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Phillip Lim, Cos and Vivienne Westwood for their warm, freash colours for A/W. My collection will be a range for the casual male who doesn't like to look like a 'clown' but still likes a twist on simple garments. I'll use leather, silk and suede to create a look that looks and feels great.

WORKING HARD PAYS OFF.

Got a 2:1 for my projects at uni. I worked my little arse. It seemed only yesterday i started the projects, wheres the time gone.

haha.
