Instagram

One iphone app I'm in love with right now is Instagram.

Its perfect for fashion bloggers to take quick shots of outfits, or anything of inspiration. 

You can add a variety of different filters to your photos and it uploads your chosen photos to its mobile community to share with friends. 

You can also choose to automatically post the photos to twitter, tumblr, flickr, posterous, foursquare and facebook as you upload them onto Instagram.

Bad news: Not available on android/blackberry

Good news: Its free!

London Fashion Weekend!

I've finally booked tickets to London Fashion Weekend this February. 
(£5 off silver and gold tickets until Monday)
I seriously cannot wait! 
Will try to save money this time round though: Last time I went I took virtually no money, and it was so heartbreaking walking past all the designer stands knowing I couldn't buy any of it..! 

I ordered Gold Tickets for the fashion show and show bag. I'm such a sucker for freebies (though technically I paid for the show bag, I'm going to pretend it was free to make myself feel better..)
I just wish I could see London Fashion Week too. Hopefully (depending on my workload) I can see if I help a designer backstage. 
That would be amazing! 

Photoshoot

This garment was Designed, Created and Photographed in the 1st year of my course. Its not part of the above 'Photography & Styling' shoot. Its based on experimentations with sleeves, shirts, jackets, fastenings etc and is pretty ameture in design, but im still proud of it as it was the 1st thing I'd ever made.
Styled by me, and modelled by Nina Watford.

Still in love with the shoes in this shoot, from BEBE.com

Photography & Styling

I thought I'd include photoshoots of 2 previous garments I have made.


The two shoots are laid out in a magazine layout for a 'photography and styling' project during the 2nd year of my course.


This is a magazine spread of a dress I designed and made for a 'Draping & Contouring' project, and is inspired by the trees themselves, hence the woodland setting.
The dress is made of silk and chiffon, and is modelled by Chloe Henderson.



This next photoshoot is of a jacket I designed and made for a 'Tailoring' project, and is inspired by the concept of androdgyny, and based on a mixture between womens and mens jackets.
The outfit was styled by me, and is modelled by Hannah Munford.
