first proper entry!

well what a day, am so excited about having a blog! so right lets scribble my thoughts out on todays lesson....
i was a little disappointed in the final collections from last year. They all seem a little outrageous, which is not the route i myself was planning on taking, but i was reassured when Claudia said we can basically do what we want. So as long as that stays true i feel a little happier. Also i was a little gutted that there are only 14 places for graduate fashion week!!!!! eak! There's going to be a lot of competition seen as we are such a hugh 3rd year group this year!

collection wise though my initial ideas are for a womenswear collection with the surprise of a single menswear outfit at the end. i want a collection that is feminine and sexy in a quirky kind of way. My initial idea is to use Russian dollies as my main theme. not so much looking at Russian folkwear but using the doll shape, playful nature, and rich Russian colour palette and mixing it with a very household English style. Mixing English house hold prints with Russian glamour, rich materials, detailing, and colour. My collection will be full of laying garments, extremes of fitted and oversized garments, etc. I'm rambling now.....
My aim is to create a desirable collection that's tasteful, clever, quirky and expensive (£££) tehe! xxx
