Alexander McQueen

Photographer: Fabien Baron

I absolutely adore this shoot of Alexander McQueen's S/S '12 collection. I love the lighting, positions and props used and think it makes the collection look dark and beautiful. These photos were featured in a recent interview of Sarah Burton where she spoke about inspirations, collections and the legacy of Alexander McQueen. I am always blown away with Alexander McQueen collections and every single garment is perfection. I think that Sarah Burton has done an amazing job at continuing Alexander McQueen's legacy of being at the fore front on fashion and being the most talked about designer in the world.

my first attempt at on outfit post! anyway been so busy recently with university we are making a cool edgy fashion magazine in 6 weeks. I am loving the project but it takes up most of my time. Our magazine is based on Wonderland magazine and our issue's theme is the escapism issue, we did a photo shoot today, which I will post up later and tomorrow we are doing another photo shoot, all very exciting.  

Paper Planes.

 Susan Stockwell's Paper Dresses.

Below: my newspaper dress...

I came across these amazing dresses by Susan Stockwell. All made from paper- maps, money. I love that although made from paper, exquisite and structured dress can still be made. Reminded me of a dress I created for my portfolio. I made the dress out of newspaper articles about the war (my theme) and remembrance day.

Shape & Structure.

I thought I would post some of the work I've done at university recently. We got partnered up in our fashion class and me and Ailsa (model in the photos) went together. The shirt we designed was inspired by Scottish Heritage and I was very proud of our finished outcome, though it was a little confusing at first working out how to make it. 

The skirt we designed was inspired by Tony Cragg sculpture work, and this allowed us to create very structural designs. 

BEGINNING.

Been meaning to start a blog for ages now, and finally have got round to it.

Thought my first post should be a little about myself.

I am studying fashion at heriot watt in galashiels currently in my 1st year and loving the course. 

I am 18 years old and from near Glasgow. I have many interests, main ones are fashion, music, dance, art, exploring. I love going travelling and this summer am meant to be going interail with my boyfriend, where we travel all around Europe for a month. 

Anyway I hope to use this blog to post my loves and inspirations. hope you enjoy...
