Degree Show



Well the degree show indicates the end of everything. All our hard work is over and now it is the next big step...... careers and jobs in the big wide world! Hopefully I will still post fashion related things over the summer - I will hopefully go to some exhibits, do some more outfit posts and keep you up to date with any design work I do!

However I had a lovely afternoon yesterday manning the exhibit - got told by some lovely little old ladies how talented I was and how they would wear my stuff! hehe! At least someone wants to wear it - how sweet! :)

White out

Yesterday helped set up the degree show.... This meant freshening up the room with white paint and stapling calico to the sides.... Exhausting and got absolutely covered! Good laugh though and we made fun of models on a catwalk made from bubble wrap - noisy!



Splattered Jeans are bound to make a come back now hehe!

U.W.E Cont....

Jessie Potter - Fun, colourful, jumble of lovelyness. Jessie Potter has taken inspiration from hording and collecting.
Oana Balan - Menswear design with bright colourful prints and strange 3d faces emerging from the garments.
Heledd Jarman - Knitwear inspired by bids with a very sporty element. My favorite piece is the greyish blue slouched dress with long hooded cardigan.
Holly Bryant - body con knitted dresses and all in ones. Black with flashes of bright colour and chains.
Jessica Hart - This collection makes me happy every time I see it. Bright colourful cartoony prints featuring bows, necklaces and clocks. Accessorised with large necklaces and bows.

Stuart Howse - Skin tight Lycra, sparkles, distorted knit shapes - what more can I say Mr Howse's collection is bold and beautiful!
Camilla Probert - This collection is stylish and chic. Beautiful red and my favorite piece the camel coloured cocoon coat.

So there you go - two loooooong posts about UWE GFW fashion show! I hope you have enjoyed!

U.W.E


This is a very difficult post to put together as it is impossible not to be bias! This is my university and these are my friends. So instead of only showing you my favs I am going to share the whole show with you! hehe! :) This will be a very image heavy post and I apologise and will try and inject text where I can :)
Rachael Ward - Minimalism, black, sleek. Favorite piece a pair of trousers with welt pocket slits at the knees.
Emma Bergamin Davys - a really striking collection with a wonderful pleated velvet cape and interesting hats.
Emily Warren - black, leather, latex, feathers and hair - may sound a tad gruesome but an amazingly chic collection with body con shapes.
Georgina Kitchen - Interesting architectural shapes. Favorite piece has to be the body con, cut out, panelled mini dress!!
Laura Watson - a really beautiful menswear collection. It was effortlessly cool and obviously very comfortable for the models as they walked down the catwalk.
Amy Tibbs - a favorite of mine with beautiful cream, white, charcoal and grey colours.
Amber Hards - A wonderful knitted collection inspired by Jelly Fish. Frothy folds created by nylon mono-filament and Lycra knitted together.
Charlie May - a collection in muted stone and nude tones, inspired by decay. Favorite piece has to be the stone grey trousers with pockets at the side.
Alexxsia Elizabeth - lace, laser cut, strips of jersey, feathers and body con.
