First toile reviews....

Wow so time really has flown by. First toile review went relatively well and I am pleased with the comments I have received. I am changing one garment in my collection, as the other three outfits fit really well and flow together, so the I am now in the process of picking my final garment. I agreed with all the comments that were said and am beginning to correct and change pattern pieces ready to construct the next set of toiles!

On reflection I am happy with how my first toile review of second year went, as I can remeber back to first year when I used to get very nervous in the reviews and dislike speaking up, but my confidence has gone up and I felt much more comfortable speaking in front of a group of people!

Final illustrations...

Here is one of my illustrations for my final collection, as I have been busy all week doing construction I thought I would spend some time trying out different colours, to decided further on colour palette. I am pleased with the outcome of the illustration, so will continue using this style for my final illustrations.

Fashion placements..

Sooo the hunt for finding a fashion placement has begun!!! I am excited about the idea of doing three months working somewhere new and different. One of my dreams would be to get a placement in paris....that would be actually amazing. Let the placement hunt commence!!!!!!!

Two days till toile reviews....

Toile review is nearing, with two days to go the uni is steadily becoming my second home and the hunt for two models under go! In general work is going well (if a little slow) and I am again learning so much from this process. One big change for me, is being more accurate; it seems I make best progress when I take my time to perfect the patterns and make sure they all match. I am looking forward to getting feedback from my toile review, so I can take this on board and improve my collection!

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL..

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all..."
"You, But in the red dress"
another modern mirror which is already out there, in shops, gives you compliments and advises you on which clothing to buy- again FASHION FORWARD or what!!!

Soon enough this could be the case (kind of) with interactive mirrors coming into fashion shops. You can manipulate it, using the mirrors touch screen surface, NEW clothes, NEW hairstyles all at the touch of a fingertip! This is very fashion forward and clever! (which would make shopping far easier then trudging all the clothes to the changing rooms to try on!) One day they will even be available in the homes, and it can tell your weight/height, give you the weather, zoom in on your face for makeup, and much more

third jacket toile....

Am pleased so far, had to re-make, but am slowly back on track, I may also take in the Jacket slightly but will wait till toile review first.
