First Years done already!

I've now completely finished and completed first year of college, ALREADY! In that time i started off not confident about the work i was producing and by the end of the year i was proud of everything that i have accomplished and achieved in that time but in a month i will be heading back to college only to improve more and learn more about the industry and how much i can push my learning and skills but here are a few images of the things i have done this year from sketches to mood boards and a dress! :)
Well Done to everyone in the classs we have all done so well! CHEEESE!

This is my dress which i made all finished off! Exciting. I just added a simple black and which bow to the neck to add something different. Cant go wrong with a black cocktail dress on a night out! :)

One part of a mood board i made to show ideas for "kids" clothing under and "Ocean View" theme. I used different methods such as digital imaging to make these images.

Some sketches that i did.

A practice of my dress before making the real thing!

Kathryn and I tried on our dresses to see how they looked. :)

Some mood boards from the start of the year for "Jack Wills Garden Party"

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is back with her brand new and sixth collection this season, showing off some different styles to the normal Victoria look.
She has styled some fantastic new looks which are a lot more relaxed and less upright.

Looking at these images it is clear to see the more relaxed look that Victoria has released which i think is great and may be some of her best designs so far.

ELLE

In this months addition of ELLE magazine we all got a really good copy of "The Runway Edit" with great designers inside including;
Victoria Beckham
Marc Jacobs
Alexander Wang which was a personal favourite with a cool and chic new collection for this season A/W 2011.

These are all examples of the funky and chic collection from Alexander Wang.

The key item from Alexander Wang this season is the coat-either the bomber jacket or the poncho.

Internet Fashion

Internet fashion is becoming more and more popular, because its so easy to shop online and order lots of goods and then send back the ones that either dont fit or aren't suitable.
Some stores dont even have a shop on the highstreet that can be accessed and only have online stores, such as http://www.asos.com/ or http://www.fashionunion.com/
Both of these websites or "online stores" have affordable fashion which are on trend and available to the public.
These are some images from this seasons Spring/Summer collections 2011.

Funky florals and hippy trims were a big hit this season especially when it came to festival wear and these sites definatly provided the fads and the trends of the season with these signature looks which i thought were fantastic.

Welcome to the Oscars 2011

Here Jennifer Hudson is wearing an orange Versace gown, there have been a lot of comments that she looks to thin in the outfit but i think that she looks absoloutly fabulous in this gown, the colour really suits her and with the low and sexy neck line she is showing off her fantastic figure. The dress has a large frill down one side and a low neck line. She has accessorised with diamond bracelets and earings. She looks fab!



Anne Hathaway also looked amazing in a Valentinio gown, she too wore a bright colour, the dress was strapless at the top, straight accross and too had a a frill down one side. She accessorised only with a diamond neclace and matched with a red lipstick. She too looked outstanding.



After a guest apperance  on the hit American show Glee, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a silver Calvin Klein gown which was floor length and had a long slit down the front. She left her hair down and straight and wore a thin belt just above her hips for detail. Showing off her fabulous figure.

High Street Fashion

Here you can see images of garments for the season S/S 2011, all of these garments are from High Street stores such as Miss Selfridge, Jack Wills and Top Shop.
As seen bellow blouses which are baggy and floaty along with denim will influence this summers stores and designs as these styles will be popular. 

Bear Necessities 2011

 
Accessories here found at Bear Necessities, both can be worn for a formal occassion or even casual day wear. Both of these sets are in store now for S/S 2011. I think that both of these pieces are fresh due to the colours that are used and are exciting pieces as they are very busy and have a lot going on, something that i personally like.
