Drawing Fashion





Before I say anything else, I'll say this: Forgive my rare posting! I'm a busy, and also lazy little girl.I have way too much on my hands with University, though I'm working on nothing and everything at th same time. It's a bit odd.
However, I wanted to tell you about an exhibition everyone probably already knows everything about and has seen, and blah blah. Anyways, Drawing Fashion is (or maybe took) place at Londons Design Museum. As a fashion design student with an high interest in Illustration I had to go there. Actually this exhibition was one of the reasons for me to visit London again. (Fashion Week not so much, what I kinda regret.) If you live in London and haven't seen this exhibion: GO THERE! It's worth your 6 Pounds. It is fascinating how fashion was illustrated over the years, from the 1920ies to now. You have a wide range of different artists, videos that show their working process and very old examples of Vogue (not to touch though).

On another note: I designed a new pair of shoesies today. Heels with a plexiglas platform. It will take me ages to finish them, though my deadline'll be the 12th April because I'm taking part at a competition (yes, another one). I can feel how those heels will cost m all my nerve (and my mums money, but nah), I see how I'll hate myself for choosing to make a plexiglas platform! Why did I design them? Am I crazy? I will not ever wear them. BUT there'll be an exhibition/fashionshow at the end (actually before the end) of term, and they'll be exhibited at the competition, and if I win I'll be rich.

The A-Team





This is a Bag I made ou of an old lunchbag (is that what it's called?) my mum gave me years ago because I used to love the A-Team. I would sit infront of the TV for hours watching the A-Team.
I wanted to make a bag out of it for months now, but never really got to it. Luckily (or not) one of my other bags broke, so I took the strap from it and clipped it on my lunchbag. I also had a lot of leather left over from making my shoes so I took that to line the bag. If I hadn't lined it, it would be the loudest bag in the world and everything would fall out if I opened it.

I'm going to give you a Tutorial on how I lined it soon, but I'll need to take some pictures first, or you won't understand (it's pretty easy though).

Raspberry Cheesecake








This is the second collection of a very new label called "Raspberry Cheesecake". The genius behind the label is Markus Schmidbauer a fesh young german Designer. The label is infact so fresh that the website is still under construction but if you like what you see here, have a look at this and this. There also is a video.

Knitwear like a pro



Skirt: Ghost of Fashion
Thights: Falke
Overknees: Ergee
Shoes: Mark Jacobs
Shirt: H&M

This is the skirt I did at knitting class. It's not finished yet, mainly because it didn't work like I imagined. I'll try to finish it in the next couple of weeks though. It's supposed to be very stiff, which it isn't at all.

The Dress, Skirt Thingy





This is the skirt I made for University. My first piece, so to speak. The design isn't very fancy or new or whatever, but I wanted to try something easy and focus more on the making part than on the design part (also I had like 5 seconds to design something). After I finished the skirt I realized it's also wearable as a dress and even more beautiful to wear as a dress.
I can never wear it as a skirt though because it doesn't fit me, both in size and look. Well, maybe some friend wants to borrow it sometime. Or I'll sell it at a sample sale or something.

Covering - A love story



First of all, excuse my nearly lifelong absence. I was packed with work for University. You'll soon see some of the things I did. It involves this video, which I did with a collegue and dear friend as a presentation video for her furniture and my collection.
