Breathtaking Givenchy

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything about designers.... However, I felt Riccardo Tisci's couture collection for Givenchy AW10 was a perfect place to begin. His use of ostrich feathers, lace, fur and leathers is not only breathtaking but elegantly luxurious. His inspiration; the painter Frida Kahlo and her relationship with religion, sensuality and her battle with spinal pain. Like every couture artist each pearl and each crystal has been sewn with a purpose and as always the gowns are utterly inspiring.

Today i found out that 4 other girls and i are being forwarded by the university to possibly be interviewed and compete in the international company Texprint that helps young designers gain connections with industry. I'm so honoured to even have been chosen by my tutors to experience this opportunity!

Degree Show 2010

After months of hard work, late nights and early mornings I'm finally finished and here's a preview of my collection.

My tutor said to me today that whilst my work was getting assessed they had mentioned how my designs would look great on Brandon Flowers. That statement alone some how seemed to make the hard work worth it.

3weeks to go.

Some development...

Twisted Tradition

Contemporary twist on Barbour style quilted jacket - (unknown source)

Luella - current collection

Barbour - ad campaign

Yesterday i started re-watching British Style Genius, an inspiring programme that aired on the BBC in 2008. Consisting of (i think) about 7 episodes each encapsulating a different British clothing style. Whilst watching the episode entitled "Country Look" i found it extremely interesting how classic, well-respected, British brands such as Barbour and Aquascutum have quite easily translated into 21st century fashion trends. With other designers such as Luella Bartley taking great influence from British heritage brands such as these making classic brands and styles more appealing every season. This is something i definitely aim to explore throughout my collection this year.
