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!

80's inspired crop top and paint splash silk trousers! (s/s12 collection)

 Ladies raw silk mother of the bride dress! Will be worn in the beautiful Thailand!

Ladies powder blue shift dress for client!

Ivory Wedding dress to be worn in Thailand!

Flower Girls dress! Identical to brides dress for her own little mini me! So cute!

My proudest dress yet!

Watch this space for much much more! 

Miu Miu Love!

Without a doubt my favourite collection of S/S 12!

Miu Miu have never really caught my eye until now, and I have fallen for it all. The simplistic and understated style lines, with cuteness and quirk driven through with a passion. The patterns with such deep and jewel colouring all seem to bewilder me. The use of textiles and contrasting textures add a hidden depth that balances out fantastic!

I will be keeping a close eye on Miu Miu from now on I think!

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2012 Advertising Campaign

Fantastic back colour for photo shoot. Adds fun, excitement and quirkiness to the campaign!

    

A clear sense of Japanese influence with a mix of decades from the 40's to the 70's!

Exciting!

On The Catwalk Spring/Summer 2012 Miu Miu Collection

Lace is a huge component this season with many designers jumping for it! However I have not seen much that is not coated in pastel tones. 

Love the edge to Miu Miu's dark hues with lace!

 Tribal also made a welcoming comeback to the catwalk. Miu Miu has touched on this slightly, which pleases me as I am not a fan of tribal wear! (Too Much Print)

Beautiful mini capes were seen a many at Miu Miu's S/S12 Show. The look is elegant and cute and looks adorable with this shift dress!

Minimalist Tailoring had a great reaction throughout the designers and this outfit is a must for achieving that eccentric professional! 

Beautiful shimmer in this silk minimalist coat. 

Absolutely love it and I am considering making a coat of a similar style! 

Patchwork Printing Mix Up! Again Miu Miu has embraced a signature piece throughout of the ribbon tie on the neckline. Simplicity which works fantastic!

 60's Glamour Styling gives an understated look to keep focus on the garments!

That is all
