Degree Show

Good Morning!


Well just thought I would drop you a note to tell you that I went to visit the Degree Show, and it was brilliant!


A lot of the work on show was absolutely fantastic, and it is a shame if you missed it..... but.... you can still get to see some of this work at New Designers.  I was fortunate enough to have been selected to show my work last year, and it really is a must see, as there are loads of fantastic things to see.  


I  know a few people show casing their work there, so...... good luck to you all, you know who you are! 


It really is a good day out if you can get there. 


Until next time.....

This time last year.............

How time flies...................


This time last year I was barely sleeping, I was rushing around worrying about whether I was going to have enough of everything, how I was going to show it, would it be good enough.......................


What on earth am I rambling on about?????


My Degree show of course!!!!


I'm sure it will be the same for this years students, and I can certainly emphasize with them.  My advice to the many talented new designers that are having their show at the end of May is..........


Take a deep breath...... it will all come together! Pace yourself and make a list of things you need to get done, cross each item off your list as you complete it, and don't panic!!!!


As soon as I find out the dates, I will post them!  If you can make it please go along and see the fabulous work that will be on display.... I am fortunate in that I am in contact with a few people graduating this year, and I have seen snippets of their work, which is why I am definitely going to have a look, as some of it is absolutely mind blowingly (is there such a word????) brilliant! 


Keep your eyes open for the dates and Good Luck to everyone on your show.

Garments

A couple of garment halves.

12 gg dubied
The garment on the right has been created using wool and the garment on the right has been created using spun silk, which creates an amazing fabric, but requires steam pressing every time it is folded, as it creases very quickly!




I managed to get hold of two amazing models for my full garments........

Ella

For the full picture & .......

Jody

They were both very patient and stunning...........even without makeup!  Thanks must also go to the photographers Markus and Jo.
