PHOTOSHOOT!

I collaborated with a group of amazing people –

Caitlin Jane McColl (photographer)

Elisa (hair and makeup)

Phoebe Jacobs (model)

The shoot went so well! I cant put any photos up yet obviously but they will be great (I hope)

And Phoebe was amazing and we didn’t need to direct or really do anything.

Although I started this design development thinking that I wouldn’t create wearable garments I am so happy with the way the turned very fashion-ish (if that makes sense?)

This is my last post for the semester as i am finishing up my folio! Ahhh only 3 days (since i volunteered to go on tuesday rather than wednesday....


Finishing up!

After a week of mad final-making I have finished the collection (unfortunately I could only fit in 4 finished garments not 5 like I had planned – plus the ribcage mannequin)

Here is some working process:

Trialing the neck line and armhole with lining




Some final photos from the basic block pattern:


Basic dress pattern: using boing and a silk suiting with polyester lining (fully lined - SO DIFFICULT)

Same dress - Basic dress pattern using a silk to contrast the previous garment


Very happy with the outcome – the fabrics really make a difference, im glad I spent so much time looking for the perfect combination.

The green is so horrible when you look at it on the roll… and then it makes for pretty cool lining!
