photoshoot for new items on my store & new designs me clothing range

 so these are new designs for me clothing range and i was looking at the idea of feminine and edgy combined for a striking look. i wanted a s simple colour palette and interesting silhouettes.

 this top is poofy at the front and pointy in the back really hot crop top, edgy but feminine.

 this next top is a cropped v neck jacket made with faux leather. with big sleeves for an interesting look.

 the next look is very toned down and feminine loose and flowing the perfect look for summer.

 then i created a leather chains and studs necklace for that edgy biker chick look to toughen up the girly top. i always love combining feminine pieces with rocker edgy pieces and it just give it a new fresh look.

 I've been doing  some more designs i really love the idea of leather, studs and chiffon. and the combination of edgy and girly styles.  took inspiration from the rocker looks and girly looks.

so what do you you think? do you like it ? would you wear it? would you buy it?

shirt project

 this is the Celine collection i took inspiration from

so I've been working on my very own shirt design i made in fashion design classes and we had to make  a shirt inspired by a brand of our choice. i chose the brand Celine. the brief was simple we we couldn't just copy an existing outfit from the brands range. what we had to do was research who the current designer was who they are inspired by and try and gather inspiration from there .also research the history and design philosophy of the brand.

do you like the design tell me what you think?

new designs for me clothing range

 i was trying to think of a the type of top that i wanted to make with the design on the front, not sure what design yet but its going to be a simple white vest gatheres at the top in a nice silhy material so it looks flowy and nice.

also i was thinking of making a chunky colour block necklace for spring/ summer. what do you think?

rose and butterfly make up & my final fashion project

so this is a make up look that i created so that i could wear it during my final fashion piece shoot. this was a one woman show, makeup artist, photographer, model and designer so i had an eventful day all the final pieces are due next week monday so i have today and the weekend to finish everything ive done my sketch books i just need to fill in all the missing piece and the i'll be free! (we'll almost free i start my next major fashion project the day i hand this in so....) any way i was ment to find someone to model my dress so i could take photos for my portfolio but sadly no one was available :( because everyone was doing there own deadlines. so i knew time was running quite short eek! i decided to do a two in one kill two birds with one stone i like making videos everyday but because im doing my final project that was becoming hard for me but i combined a makeup video with the presentation of the dress because i can do a video and do my work at the same time! so that's why i came up with this wacky look! http://www.youtube.com/user/chantellefashion

so here are the photos of the final dress to be truthful im not entirely happy with the final piece i had to change my design because i didn't have enougth time to make it so it turned out like this. but its done now so i'll just have to hand it in because i don't have enougth time. hopefully in my next major project i'll do exactly what i want because i'll have more time and i'll be only working on one project at i time unlike this project i was  working on 4 projects at once.

these are some photographs i took at the begining of my project and i took design inspirstion frome this i based my design on the colour.

fabric sample left was acrylic paint on fabric and embroidered on top of and this was the my original design and how i wanted the dress to be. so you can see how my actual final dress differs alot.

here are a couple more of my favourite pages in the sketchbook.

im  creatting a paper garment (fro final piece) at first it was about origarmi! but i didn't really know much about origami so instead i rotated my project around the human body and bones
