ALONGSIDE THE PREVIOUS, A PERSONAL ECO-FASHION PROJECT, ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY. RESEARCH BASED: MY KIND OF THING.

CONCLUSION TO FOLLOW...

tomorrow's tomorrow

PRODUCTIVE DAY.

AFTER SETTING STUPIDLY UNACHIEVABLE WORK GOALS YESTERDAY, I APPROACHED TODAY DIFFERENTLY.  less is more.

this said, this attitude seemed to get make me get more done.

(or maybe just the silhouettes i was working with today involved drawing much less pleats and many fewer stitching details.....fiddlyfiddly.) 

DESIGN + CAFE FOR FRIEND FOR COFFEE + DESIGN + MORE DESIGN ,SEEMED TO BE THE FORMULA FOR CREATIVITY TO CONTINUE TO FLOW.

FINISHED UP WITH MY BEST DESIGNS YET (i feel anyway) AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT.

PLEASED.

MY OUTFIT-

THE SKIRT I BOUGHT LONG AGO, FRUMPY IT WAS IN A SIZE 18. CLEARLY TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO CUT OUT A PORTION AND MAKE UP A NIFTY SMALLER AND HIGER WAISTED VERSION. THE TOP, MY NEW TOP FROM URBAN OUTFITTERS. DEFINATELY DECIDED FLECKED IS A NEW FAVOURITE THING. OH, AND HAVE YOU SEEN THE LITTLE HEART POCKET. KITSCH. 

HAVE MISHED AROUND FOR A HEADBAND WITH A KNOT/ CROSS AT THE FRONT LIKE THIS FOR AN AGE NOW, SO IMAGINE MY ELATION (and also fustration actually for waiting so long) WHEN I REALISED I COULD ACHIEVE WHAT I WANTED BY JUST, VERY SIMPLY- FOLDING IT OVER. 

solved.

ALSO, ROLL ON TOMORROW BECAUSE TOMORROW'S TOMORROW IS PORTUGAL!!!!

PLEASE BE NICE WEATHER
PLEASE BE NICE WEATHER

started.

FINALLY, I'VE STARTED DESIGNING. 

 (weheartit)

YOU'LL BE PLEASED TO HEAR- IT'S GOING OKAY. STARTED OFF SLOW AND PRETTY WEAK TO BE HONEST, BUT IT FEELS LIKE THEY'RE GETTING BETTER. DESIGNS ARE MORE "OUTSIDE THE BOX" YOU COULD SAY!

LUCKILY, DESIGNING AT MY DESK MEANS PLENTY OF TIME SPENT MULTITASKING- WATCHING GG, MARRIED SINGLE OTHER, AND DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.

OH, THE LIFE. 

I'LL UPLOAD SOME SCANS OF MY DESIGNS SOON SO YOU CAN HAVE A SNEEKY GANDER.

CURRENTLY JUST FOCUSING ON WOMENSWEAR SKIRTS. BUT WILL MOVE ON TO A DIFFERENT SHAPE, TROUSERS, JACKETS ETC.. WHEN I'VE EXHAUSTED ALL POSSIBILITIES!

SO, AS YOU MAY KNOW- WOMEN'S  TREND IS REVIVAL- with ideas of antiquity, renaissance, rustic, classical muchos muchos....

IT'S PRETTY BEAUTIFUL REALLY.

THESE ARE SOME INSPIRATION PAGES I MADE UP. CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE FLAG-HEM SKIRT SHAPE. 

WHILST RESEARCHING, MY ATTENTION WAS BROUGHT TO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. SOMETHING AMAZING. SOMETHING I DO'NT REALLY KNOW WHY I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SEASON.

SASS & BIDE. 

how ridiculously inspirational.

i wil post more on this later. definately.
