Busy Busy Busy !

So it has been quite a while since my last blog post, however it is all in good reason! I have spent this summer working hard at making every women's special day the best! I have altered countless bridal, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, flowergirl and guests gowns and outfits and have constructed many outfits with the happy outcome of smiling clients! The shop is expanding and we are doing increasingly well and we also have a lot of exciting events coming up!

Here is a select few which I have constructed!!

Off course there is always much more to come!! Also with just about to start my final year of uni many updates on my final collection to come!! 

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada

Surrealism in Fashion has been a continuous development since the 1920's. With Elsa Schiaparelli being one of the first to combine these two concepts together, she was able to make her stamp in fashion and have many followers, who would alter and adapt her take on surrealist fashion. I am extremely fascinated with what can be achieved and how the boundaries of fashion can be adapted. One designer who has taken full advantage of this is  Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. Her work is avant garde brilliance! A clear use of surrealism inspiration and pure garment construction quality makes this collection an amazing success! 

One of which I am truly bewildered with!

It's been a while!

So it has been over a month since my last blog post. However there was no neglecting going on just plain busy! Over the past month I have made 6 garments and I am in the middle of making 4 more ! So rather busy but extremely productive! Here is what I have made!

Crazy Scottish Designer!

Louise Gray is an emerging fashion designer from Fraserburgh, Scotland. Her collections hold a great sense of Imperfectlyperfect Fashion with clashes of eccentric mess throughout. Louise studied textile design at The Glasgow School of Art and Central Saint Martins. She has had design collaborations with Cotton USA, Judy Blame, Nicholas Kirkwood, the Smiley Company and Crown Paint. With having a sponsorship from the Centre for Fashion Enterprise, it is clear to see that Louise Gray is having much success. Louise was also sponsored by NEWGEN at London Fashion Week and will be selling her stock at the V&A shop this Autumn. 

Here is her Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. She states in an interview with NEWGEN, that inspiration from the collection came from,  "Freedom, technology, mirages and sunny days."

Louise brands her signatures as,  

“Colour, textures, hand silk screened, specially developed fabrics in woven, embroidered and printed techniques.”

She describes her typical client as,  “Ultimately someone who is fun.”

A consistent use of textile methods showcases Louise's eccentric and personal style wonderfully!

Love this outfit! Works really well together and has a huge inspiration of the 80's!
