Wish You Were Here





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?

Shirt for Gwen






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.
