Why black and white?

This is mainly my outfit from our Univeristy's fashionshow. I made the skirt, the poncho, the hat, and the shoes she's not wearing. The shirt is made by Esther Knoll, and the b/w shoes by Isolde Mayer.

Somehow I made a lot Black and white stuff this semester, which is weird because I am a very colourful person.

By the way, making that poncho was a bitch!

That Indigo shoe.

Ya'll can be proud of me because I'm with the last 5 poeple to win the Indigo competition. We 5 have to produce what we designed and then someone should be winning. On thursday I got my fabrics.

Actually I handed in 3 different designes for shoes, I only have a picture of the one that got chosen, my professor has the other 2 designes. My winning design was inspired by the chemical formula of Indigo. It consists of hexagons and pentagons, so I took them as the pattern for my shoe. Pretty easy.

Indigo is the oldest way to dye fabrics. It's about a 5 week process and there are only a few Indigo dyers left in Europe, infact Mr. Koo (that's the guy who asked us to take part in his competition) is the last one to remain in Austria.

The produced designs will also be presented at our finals show on June 11th, check here to be updated.

You should also check out my other blog, the one I run with this girl. And talking about blogs: If you like music, you'll love this (It's partly in german though).

Crazy Shoes (aren't crazy at all)

They're supposed to be for a crazy shoe competition, but the only crazy thing about them is that it's almost impossible to walk in them. I might add something to make them more crazy, till tomorrow. I probably should have thunk of that earlier. Well, whatever, it's not as if I'd need the money.

The Royal Gardens

shirt & socks: H&M

thights: Pirmark

shorts: Am Appi

shoes: creepers

sunglasses: Ray Ban Clubmaster

It's getting warm in Vienna again which generelly means thights, lots of thights for me! During winter I mostly wear my knitted thight and I only have black and grey ones, with knitted patterns, but none with fowery, colourful patterns.

This picture was taken at my University. Yeah, I know, huge garden, isn't it great. But with the garden comes a mad gardener. He looks at us weirdly all the time, I also heard he has some vegtables in the garden somewhere, but I'm too afraid of him to steal any. He seems really crazy. The gardener is always the murderer.

Did I ever tell you my University's a castle? No? My University is a castle.

Shoes in Progress

For now this must look like nothing to you, also you have to think that I smeared glue all over it, and yes, you are right, but I haven't found any other possible way yet, when you do please inform me imediatly. The show isn't next to finished at all! I didn't sew any of the pieces together nor have I started on the platform at all! The platform will be made out of arcrilyc glas and I have no idea how to make that but I guess I'll just do it. All in all the shoes will be about 11-13 cm high.

On another note: I have not much to tell you about my London-trip other than that I ignored Fashion Week, took about 6 pictures (not worth seeing) and got my arm signed by Faris Rotter from The Horrors (I might show you that picture after all).

Hetzendorf Christmasmerket pt. II

This is the second part of the designs from University students. Next up is students from school which I'm probably going to split again. Anyways, look at the bags!

The Shoe-Room

This is where we make our shoes. Plus: Some shoes made by the other, and far more skilled students. Some are made with condoms because last years project had something to do with condoms I think. I'm not sure though. I wasn't there last year and this was made by the students of the school not University. But now you can probably imagine that it's a really good school/University.

Fancy Footwork pt. II

Shoes by Ghost of Fashion

I'm finally done with my first pair of Shoes. Yeah, you read right, SHOES! There's so much love in this pair of beautiful red leather shoes. It was really hard to make them and I'm really sorry, but I don't have any pictures of the beginning of the process. (Actally there is one but I my friend who took it didn't send it to me yet, shame on her). I'm going to put up a general post about the studio soon, so you know what it looks like and all the stuff that's lying around, plus some shoes done by the students (with condoms, to get your curiosity). I hope you like my very simple and very red Oxford shoes. This is my first pair, but I'm definitly going to continue Shoemaking next semester, so be aware for more shoes to come in 2011!

Fancy Footwork

Shirt: Camden Market, London

Trousers: Vintage Sale, Vienna

Cardigan: Made by Oma

Socks: H&M

Shoes: Marc Jacobs

These are my new Marc Jacob heels. I was very lucky to get them, because I can't normally afford such expencive footwear, if it wasn't for this very fancy shoestore closing down for good. Condotti, as it's called sold all their shoes for 99€ a pair (no matter which label, and they had Alexander McQueen, Marc jacobs, Burberry, .... well, everything).

Also, you can see my claened up room in the back. This is where I live, don't get used to it not being messy. Usually I have a carpet full of clothes and paper lying on the floor.

The only thing that I really hate about the shoes is that I'm currently not allowed to wear them. As you see I'm sitting in the pictures. I have some problems with my knees and I'm not supposed to wear heels for a week (well, actually I can wear them for about an hour, but why would I do that?). I hope you like the shoes.

Oh, before I forget, I'm flying to London in a week again (surpise, surprise) and I'm not sure if I get to blogging before I go. I might not be able to blog for the next 3 weeks.

This time London is oing to be a little bit of a different experiance for me. I'm staying for two weeks and the first week'll be the usual shopping, museums, party stuff but the second week I'm taking a course at Central St. Martins College. "Building a fashion Collection". I'm very excited, don't dissapoint me, Ian Kettle.
