Final Major Project: So Far

From the Tao Kurihara Autumn/Winter 2010/11 collection I've started to do some samples on the tailor dummy to play around with the shapes I want to create and see how well the fabrics I've chosen work when I've wrapped and tied them on the mannequin.

I really like the shapes the organza make when they've been wrapped and tied on the tailors dummy. Also the colour of the organza work really nicely when they've been layered.

The heavier fabrics also work really well. So for future design ideas I might try combining the heavier fabrics with the organza. The possibilities are endless.

Cultural Mash Project: Final Piece

I feel so proud of my final piece for my cultural mash project, I honestly didn't expect it to turn out so good. But when I saw it on my model Sakiko for the first time I actually had tears in my eyes. It was the perfect dress for the perfect model.
The dress was so soft and delicate so I really wanted to bring that element to the shoot, but of course I had to mix it up a little with a few quirky shots.
