Graduate fashion week Epsom 2015

i went to graduate fashion week in London with my friend, we when to see out university show which is the Epsom show. in my outfit I'm wearing an African print trousers designed and made by me. London in brick lane is a great place to go for fashion and to see street graffiti art.

The difference between style and fashion is quality

 

these photos where taken on Friday and in this outfit I'm wearing a one of a kind dress i found at a small boutique in shoreditch London. I've kept the styling simple for this outfit and styled my outfit with leopard print boots and pyramid earrings. i want to express my natural beauty by keeping my make up and my hair in a natural Afro hair style.  i wanted this to look girly so i added a floral headband.

new design!

 

hi everyone! this is my newest design, below you can see my concept board this project was about looking at future trends. i looked at the deep ocean and things that were surreal and mythical i also looked as surface texture and the 1920's silhouette and simplistic shape. with these all combined i developed theses into design ideas.  

drape project indian and texture

my newest project has ben sucking up my time but i love it. i was looking at indian drape and how this could e combined with surface texture. i experimented with it on the stand.

the final tailored jacket!

all the way from design concept to final design. so in summery the project was about teddy boys and the theme reveal and conceal.  so i looked at the classic teddy boy jacket and blocked out parts of the details with collage and drew design ideas from this. so for the final garment at the bottom of the jacket i blocked it off with a black, then on the front the pocket detail is cut off where it looks like a pocket but its not a pocket. This is because of the reveal conceal element of the jacket. i also kept some of the key teddy boy aspects on the jacket so you could tell its teddy boy inspired. 

i worked with a model from model mayhem http://www.modelmayhem.com/2226086  highly recommend her  for shoots very reliable.

so do you like my new jacket?
