COLOUR PALETTE RESEARCH...



After my final toile crit at university, I decided to make a change to my colour palette. Instead of focussing on skin tones, I wanted to show a range that had much more contrast and variety. 

I wanted my collection to capture both my design ethos and my own style identity. Like anyone else, I tend to have an area of comfort when buying clothes. My wardrobe bursts with the colours... Black (or should I say the absence of colour). I love cooler tones such as, greys, muted blues and of course black. 


So my research began, looking at identity I decided to explore different eye colours. And found my colour palette in a friends eyes, much like my own (except a lot more interesting) they are blue/grey with slight specks of amber browns. 

This photo captures my development in motion, looking at the photograph and choosing fabrics. 


I am now focussing on the application of; Muted blue, petrol blue, gunmetal grey, amber and gold. Fingers crossed, this will make for an interesting collection!

BURBERRY PRORSUM SHOW 2011







I have been extremely busy since last writing, doing all sorts of crazy things.
As you all knows London fashion week was in February  and I was lucky enough to get my hands on an invite to the Burberry Prorsum show! Which was amazing. Christopher Bailey has yet again amazed us all with his A/W '12 designs.
Of course being at the show meant being within touching distance of all the beautiful celebrities and models, such as; Alexa Chung, Will.i.am, Rosie Huntington-Whitely,Eddie Redmayne, Clémence Poésy... To name a few.

Anyway here are a few photos taken.
