99 Days in, NSCAD's Intermediate Fashion Show

So guys, guess what?!

MY SEMESTER IS DONE!!!!
and now I am going to post my work from the fashion show I was in.

I'll start with runway shots and finish with my portfolio!

Here are some runway shots. They are from http://digitalcitizen.ca  The models in order are Kristy Pitre, Lizane Tan and Erica Hopkins

Here is some portfolio work:

 This is the designer picture (some designers were modelling too, explaining the dress) 

Okay team, i have finally bitten the bullet and am posting about my Intermediate Fashion Studies Class. Basically all i do in it, is plan and execute a small line of three outfits and there is a show in December. these are from my sketchbook (i have almost a whole one at this point). I spontaneously became a better drawer after my fashion drawing class, yay! 

I should post inspiration as well, shouldn't I?

The style of my line is inspired by the movie (and books) A Series Of Unfortunate Events. The style of the movie is a mix of a modern application of historical silouettes and textiles. It gives a strange feel of not knowing exactly when the movie takes place. 

I have also been having fantastic dreams about birds. I wanted to take the feel of the above photos and incorperate feathers and birds.

Okay, so here are my drawings that span over nearly two months of planning. this is a fraction of them!

 roughing out colours

 historical dresses copied from a book

 natural dye samples to decide what colours i should dye my fabrics

 To Do list from last week. I am one of the PR people for the show. Time to call some shoe stores!

 some thumbnails of my final capes. I will also have shirts and high waisted double button pants, that aren't in my sketchbook but on my mood board in the studio!

Have a good day!

More Weaving

More Weaving! i made a scarf, and i'm very excited about it. i managed to tackle plaid. I really need to put up pictures from intermediate fashion studies!

Introduction to Weaving

Hello friends! its been such a long summer not doing projects! well, i am back after a lame four months of occasional posts of outfits i did on polyvore.

 I am only taking nine credits this semester, so i am taking introduction to weaving and a six credit intermediate fashion class (which i will post some stuff about soon). I have been waitlisted to weaving TWICE and finally got in this semester! these are my first three samples.

in case you cool kids didn't notice, my photos now have watermarks! itty bitty teenie tiny ones. so, please don't crop them off!

 ps: i usually leave my photos at their full resolution in case my computer crashes so that i still have my portfolio of work so that you guys can see details, so if you actually want to see something well, click and it will get HUGE

 This is the first thing i have ever made, ever.  its a moderately ugly wool scarf. we were supposed to experiment, and i found sparkle yarns... 

 more sparkle yarns, and ZIG ZAGS

and even more sparkle yarns. oh katrina. 

this is a stripe sample! its so much less ugly! attractive, even. it took me seven hours of effort to thread this loom and i nearly took a baseball bat to it, the cotton threads (all 240 of them) were tangled into a ball

 detail. no sparkly yarns :( 

 another detail. you can see my little boo boo in this one. 

 This one is the second part of the one above. they have the same warp (the part you thread on that is orange in both of them.

 we were asked to change the distance of the strings, so it made vertical stripes.

another detail! there is a rouge string hanging out here, but that's okay!

i'll have some fashion studies photos soon! my whole semester is planning a line, and there will be a FASHION SHOW!
