Playing with ink washes and collage just to remain sane. 

WSA 2012 Show: Backstage

Picture heavy post of my favourite pieces and accessories seen backstage on Monday night at the Truman Brewery.

Lexi again in Lucy Cox



Lucy Cox's designs

Another look from Xiaoge Xiu's collection 



Footwear that caught my eye: Topshop platforms from Amy Whitelaw's collection. I am considering on purchasing a pair for this summer as it was very comfortable when I tired it on. Only factor that is stopping me is the thought of the pony the material was sourced from.

 

Amanda Thompson's outfit. Very Vivienne Westwood. Particularly adore the shrivelled leather gloves in the head wear as they look nothing like gloves.




Very Versace, high street grab from Zara worn by a stunning model from Philippines pictured above.




One of the make up artists form L'Oreal was wearing the MARNI for H&M acrylic flower necklace.




There were very little menswear collections this year as you can see from the running order board in the previous post. This one was my favourite by Shana Lao. I wish more men were confident enough to wear skirts apart from kilts.

WSA 2012 Show: Make up

This year I did not get as excited as the 2011 show for many reasons. Mostly due to the fact I didn't work closely with the third years this time around. However I did go along to help out with the shows in Winchester and London. The images below are from the London Truman Brewery Show that took place on Monday 28th May.

various shades



I feel the need to invest in some good quality brushes as my ones are all deteriorating.



More pictures to follow in another post as I have to leave for work now. Classes are over but I still seem to have no time at all. Hope you all enjoy the lovely weather today as I will be stuck inside painting and decorating interiors.

Austere II

Past months have been painful. Having to juggle a few part time jobs alongside attending university full time is not easy especially towards deadlines. Finally the second year is over but now I'm left unsure of how I feel.

Next few months, I aim not to waste as the value of time is unmeasurable. Back in the beginning of semester one I chose Max as my muse for a menswear project. We met briefly for a photo shoot towards the end of the project and I handed him a little something as a gratitude.

A few days ago he surprised me with a web link via a short text.

Here it is:

Lex Pott

This morning I realised why I am not the greatest with words. Whilst deep in discussion with a dear friend it came to attention that I can never explain my thoughts and concepts clearly with words as it is often always to complex.

The main reason > > >I'm a 'visual' person.  

These images are all works of Lex Pott via WGSN Trend Report for A/W12-13. The simple overlapping shapes create a geometric pattern which is enhanced by clever used of colour. Inspiration for my current project which is finally rolling at a good pace after such a slow start. Will do my best to post at least once a week but with such a tight schedule it is proving to be extremely difficult!!
