MP progression

I have recently had a car crash...so had been out of action for a while!! I'm OK and back on my feet.....I have these beads which I have brought from various places to create my jewelry collection. I Also found these washers used for pluming at B & q...gold ones..which are great to create necklaces and bracelets!!! I also a few other bits like badges and materials that i will use in my collection

PHOTOSHOOT RESEARCH- KATTACA

I think this image is great with position of the arm, as mine to has a arm statement piece. the position of the model is something that i like here!

MY PHOTOSHOOT-

DAVID LAM

I was in a car when my final photo shoot was taking place!! I was gutted but was sure that my tutors would of taken care of it. I heard it went really well and and the shoot was successful. I wanted to go for a contemporary strong look. As its very sculptural I wanted a strong pose and look and prefable a full shoot..but apparently I didn't have one as it was best to be taken they way they did it...so i just have to wait. This was some of the images I have showed David weeks before on the kinda look I wanted. My friend Laura was kind enough to show me a company that has amazing fashion photography...KATTACA. these images are very strong and to over the top for me..but the statement and the visual impact is there and they work amazingly with he outfits. I would want to achieve the same principle with my outfit.

I was really pleased with my line up and after toil on stand for weeks, I was ready to make my final collection!!! I still have toil 2 more outfits and but I feel for my time keeping, im ready to start making, and when I have completed the fisrt lot..I will then start to toil the other two. I have brought majority of my materials but again will have to buy . I feel the fabric I have chose really refects the collection, and im really excited to bring my collection to life..Finally!!!

Research-Metal work- Companies

As Part of my final line up, I'm going to have metal work Incorporated into my work. I need to find a company that will do this for me. I found it very hard as many company's that's use metal laser cutting is for more large buildings, therefore would cost me allot more to get it done. I managed to get a company who is near me to get it done which I'm very pleased bout.

Its called MCS Engineering, Fabrication located in Colchester, Website bellow.

This is the piece I want to get done along with another. I have cut all the pieces in card and then wil give it to them to cut out and use as a pattern.

TOIL ON STAND- FINAL LINE UP

Trousers with a deep insert side pocket, classicly straight with a crease line. Ankle length

Sleeve with pleat design.

Pleated collar- this was scraped as I felt it wasnt working well

Dress with panelling detail

These are some of my toils I have done in development of my patterns for my final line up.
I think they have developed well, but allot of changes do need to be made to the pattern before a final draft pattern can be created. I find it easier to toil on stand and flat pattern cut at the same time, sharing both disciplines and to finally produce a outcome. I'm pretty impatient, so I have to toil it as I go along!! I feel they area all strong designs to produce confidently. There is one design after producing the toil( the pleated neck collar) that I will not do this and have scraped it in my final line up and have replaced it with another design I like. This was all part of the development process and after producing it, I felt it did not fit in with the line up and it looked out of place. After drawing up a new line up I was pleased with what i decided!

JEWELLERY-Dries Van Norton

I love this jewellery and I'm hoping to do some for my collection. I think this is such an effective way of doing it...using usual shapes and loading on to an black string or ribbon. Beautiful!!!!

More dresse with metal fabrication. I like the shapes created here.
