'Austere'

Finally I got the chance to go to London and meet him in person. Didn't know what to expect but over all I am very pleased with the meeting. Two inspiring people in one day was ermmm whats the word.... lets say 'aroused' a lot of excitment as I literally couldn't stop smiling. Along with Max, I met Sustika Limbu who is a film student form London (wearing the most amazing coat with raglan sleeves! it looked unusually attractive for womenswear!!). We got talking and Max explained the concept of his upcoming project for the Parcha Exhibition which was ever so captivating. Now feeling a bit gutted I can't make it this coming weekend to see the whole thing as I've already agreed to attend a winter ball at Middle Wallop.

Accessory based on the muse. PVC and cross stitch fabric backpack with magnetic fastenings.



PCV structure on top a collar less blazer. Classic with a modern twist.  



At shepard's bush. I made a shirt for him but forgot to take a picture before handing it over so I guess will have to wait until he uploads it on his lookbook or blog :)



She is the one with the amazing coat. I'd love to show her my collection of silk and cotton scarves!

                   Sustika hopefully next time? x



Another regret...

I've been keeping myself busy with work and uni work since last Thursday. I keep telling myself 'It's ok' and 'GET OVER IT' but isn't working yet. Cannot stop thinking about these garments from the H&M and Versace collection that was released at 9am last Thursday. I missed it by 10 minutes all in the name of charity. By the time the charity lunch I volunteered to help out at finished EVERYTHING was SOLD OUT :(. It's all on eBay but at ridiculous prices. Did any one get anything?







Fur Waistcoat - £39.99
Pleated Silk skirt - £39.99

Dhaka Prints



I wore traditional Nepali attire today whilst selling curry for lunch at the camp all for children in need (charity). We made just over £450. The traditional Dhaka print that is well known and worn by all women and girls in Nepal has made its way to the western side of the world.



Reminded me of designer Julian Louie and ALDO's collaboration that had the woven prints on it. Completely different interpretation of the traditional fabric.

Random

Soya milk, apple juice and coke for Cel and I on our last lunch together in London. Craving it right now so thought I would look at the pictures instead.



Food was yummy but service was really bad so won't be going there again in future.  





Fried dumplings. Food and clothing are the same, detailed, pleasing to the eye and makes everyone :) :) :)





Illustrator

I have no life. Its our formative feedback week and whilst others take time out I'm stuck at home glued onto Illustrator. Experiencing whole body ache due to sitting down for long periods staring at the computer. Hard not to get distracted but finally finished all 8. It took forever mostly because it was my first time. Just wanted to experiment and see whether digital is better then normal but now I can't decide because they are both bloody time consuming and the result isn't exactly amazing.

Avant Garde project- Brief is to base the collection on any movie/s. Watched a few movies and chose to base it on the Corpse Bride. Have any of you watched 'Death in Venice'? I tried, but fell asleep even though all the costumes were so beautiful.

Stuck. Watched the movie twice and took video stills but now don't know where to begin.
