The Old Man Who Lost His Horse

My mother on love - 塞翁失馬焉知非福(chinese proverb)

Some shorts I made:

The bottom two triangular pockets are non-functional =p

Black facet buttons ftw!

An amazing shoe. Black killer sky high (6 inches to be precise) Kurt Geiger jewelled beauties, the perfect compliment for my collection. I really can't express how difficult it was putting these heels on my model- it required both the effort of me & my friend Kat!

Portifolio pages

Front & back cover of portifolio:



In order to create this texture on the back of my file I used heavy duty paper & some nail polishes (within my colour palette to keep to the teme) Cling film was applied whilst the polish was still wet and was peeled off when dry creating this creased transparent effect -resembling pressed raven wings!

Colour palette & print ideas:



The colour palette for my collection was lifted off the raven itself. As the colours depend on the angle of the light when it hits the feathers; different angles would produce different colours i.e. hues of green, purple, yellow tinges and so forth.

Texture and rendering of the colour palette:

I designed this dress sitting in the gardens of the tower of london in a state of bliss. RAVENS GALORE! E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E!!!(They were quality company really) The structure of the garment was inspired by the negative space created from one raven standing in front of another.



I'm hopelessly in love with this print i created!:

So I'm just tasting the fruits of a few hours of my painting labour. He's bit flat right now. But fear not! I'm gunna pump some life into him!
