Disappeared off the face of the Earth?! Not quite!

Interning last Summer, was it worth it?

Early last year, I applied for an internship at an up and coming online retailer called London Ethnic. They are an ethical retailer with a difference, selling a range of clothing and accessories that have meaning, substance and style. At the moment they are currently working with over 20 designers and brands from a range … Continue reading →

Zero-Waste Shirt

Although I have now specialised in Womenswear in my second year of uni, I have experimented with menswear during year one.  I found this super difficult having always designed for women. However after someone reading my blog and commenting that I should do a ‘men’s one’, I thought I would post a menswear project from … Continue reading →

Traces Design Project

My last design brief was based on Memories. ‘Memories shape who we are.

We were to choose from either a collective or personal memory to research and create … Continue reading →

This included my version of heaven – the Topshop Flagship store on Oxford Street, Hamleys and Harrods in Knightsbridge. I knew we’d be walking all day so I chose to keep it simple with … Continue reading →

Baroness Thatcher: style and politics?

After hearing the news of Margaret Thatcher’s death yesterday morning, I was very shocked. Although I wasn’t around when she was in power, I have heard and read a lot about her time in office. Different people have many different perspectives of her, some good, some bad but every is entitled to their own opinion. She … Continue reading →

Westfield Wardrobe Update!

Me and my mum decided to take a little impromptu Sunday trip to Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds Bush (seeing as its only half an hour away from me it would be rude not too!). I know what I am like and window shopping soon turned into proper shopping! The shops were will filled with … Continue reading →

Design Brief: Rick Owens A/W 13/14

Last semester, as part of one of my design modules, I was given a high end conceptual designer to design an Autumn/Winter 13/14 collection for. This was to be made up of 10 final outfits that would be in keeping with the designer brand. I was given Rick Owens, a very dark and mysterious character … Continue reading →

What I Wore Today – 3.4.13

Like I have mentioned before, I love dressing up and styling different outfits depending on what mood I’m in. Some days I feel more casual in jeans and a cosy jumper, others I like to smarten it up with a blazer or a collar tip shirt. So I thought I would make a feature out … Continue reading →
