FINAL PIECES

Hola!

Finally I reach the end of the road for this project, the making of the final pieces from my capsule collection, I decided to make these two garments for the fashion show. The colours are vibrant, loads of embroidery and embellishments. It took me a very long time to finish, but over all I am happy with the result.

Next time, I will post the pictures from the fashion Show.

Thanks.

FINAL PIECE MAKING

  

Hi there!

In this post today I will show you the process of cutting the fabric I decide to work with. it a very fine fabric call organdy.

Cotton organdy fabric is a sheer, lightweight, crisp material, similar in characteristics to silk organza. The distinct body is due to a pronounced twisting of the fibers during the manufacturing process, resulting in an extremely moldable  plain weave fabric. Permanent crispness can be achieved with a chemical treatment, otherwise the starch in the fabric will wash out over time. Organdy is very easy to work with and pleats easily, and tends to wrinkle badly but can be quickly smoothed with a hot iron.

The colour I chose to work with was canary yellow.

Thanks.

BRITISH FASHION COUNCIL SEMINAR

                                                  

Hello!

Today I am going to write about the British Fashion Council seminar I attended on Tuesday - May/23rd. I was invited by my University and I was very glad to get the invite, as it was a very interesting and informative Seminar, where we had the chance to listen to various professionals in the fashion industry, giving us a clear vision of how will face the fashion scene in the real world.
The Seminar was held at the prestigious Harrods in Knightbridge and here are the  list of the speakers:

He was named Scottish Designer of the Year in 2005 and British Designer of the Year at the Elle Style Awards in 2008. Among his clients we can find: Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Michelle Obama.

As I mentioned before the Seminar was very helpful, it gave us a real sense of how fashion works outside Uni doors. Making us prepared for the fashion industry.
