Two of my finalised flat specification drawing boards. These are the pieces from my capsule collection I'm designing for Maison Martin Margiela at the moment. I'm so nearly finished, just got the fashion illustrations to finish. These were drawn by hand, scanned and photoshopped so you can get an idea of what the fabric will look like on the garments.


All my own work.

I had planned to share some of my fashion sketches today that I've been working on for my Digital Design module. Using a software that's new to me - Lectra - I've been learning to use both Kaledo Print & Kaledo Style over the last 10 weeks.
Our brief was to create a collection with three different garments, three different prints and three colourways for each print, along with a colour palette and supporting research. I managed to finish my collection today, complete with prints and illustrations for the garments..but unfortunately the computer decided it would be a perfect time to delete the entire file I was working on and all its back-up files just as I was getting ready to print.
So instead, this is a photo I took on holiday this year in Florida. My friend told me she thought it was actually a postcard! Wish you were here?Image from my camera.


Huge thanks to Shelby Clark for these!

Part of my AS course was to design and produce a shirt for a celebrity. I chose Gwen Stefani, and after researching into her style thoroughly, I came up with the design of a fairly simple pale blue shirt at the front, with a yoke and mesh cut-out at the back. I decorated the mesh with embroidery patches and sequins.Images: top: catwalk image courtesy of Ben Rose.

Inspiration for today: a piece from the German Vogue 1984 editorial on Sable Fur Coats. I came across this whilst researching outerwear for my Garment Technology module. Image sourced from Fur Fashion Scans' flickr.
