Sarah Burton Makes Royal Fashion History!

Well yesterday most definately made fashion History as the world saw Kate Middleton marry Prince William in the most stunning dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander Mcqueen. Catherine looked so graceful and elegant, the dress was perfect for her! Simplicity at its best.

Such a gorgeous train, not too long like what Princess Dianas. I still cant get over how classy this dress is!

the hand embroidered and appliqued lace was absolutely stunning and the techniques and skills put into this dress is just extraordinary. The dress featured a victorian style corset that nipped in at the waist then out again with padded hips.

Kates make up was also very elegant and done to perfection, apparantly she did it all herself. Great natural make up skills Kate!

Rodarte- Skeletal

These images have given me inspiration for my toille that i will be designing and making within the next couple of weeks. My ideas have started to move away from pleats which is suprising as i have sampled quite a bit with them.

Miu Miu Illustrations for portfolio

Presentation of ranges and illustrations

Yesterday our group had to present all our ranges and illustrations and sell it to our tutor and other peers. Overall the presentation went well and we were really pleased how all our ranges worked together, which shows how well we worked as a team.

My MIU MIU range plan- 6 outfits

Developing Ideas for my Range Plan

Enterprise

Pop up shop that we will be participating in on 22nd march

Hand embellished socks with lace sequins and bows

Our enterprise module has been running throughout the course of the year, the work required for it is to set up our own £10 Business. The £10 must cover all costs such as printing advertising, cost of materials etc... we could also choose if we wanted to work as a sole trader or partnership. So I decided that it would be a good idea to work as a patnership as I work well in a team, so me and my friend Gemma set up our own little business hand embellishing socks. Our inspiration came from miu miu and vivienne westwood, but unfortunately we were unable to create anything like those designs due to the costs of woolen socks so here is an image of the style we produced.

Brand Board

Here is my board that helps define the brand miu miu. I am going to use this as a source of inspiration. This board is separate to the group one we created as I wanted to create a board that would clearly define the brand using bright colours, which works well So i might consider putting this into my portfolio which will feature some developed design work.
