Trend Spotter

Thursday, September 29, 2011
I've really enjoyed this project and apreciate everyone that has particapated.
I said I'd keep you up to date with how it's going so here's a few pictures of my design work and idea development (inspired by you guys...)...

...Just a few photo's of samples,designs and research...

Trend Spotting

With research and the fabulous bloggers style photo's,I have spotted four major trends,which I have then worked with in my garment designs...

The Trends

#1- Customised Denim-Im sure most of you have spotted or are wearing customised denim,wether it's torn,studded,spiked,dyed etc...

#2-Dressed up Sweats/Joggers- Dressing up your jogging bottoms,pairing it with designer T's or gorgeous vintage finds,so your feeling super comfy yet looking Chic...

#3-layerd sheer garments- Sheer,floaty and feminine fabrics and garments layerd on top of body con garments,leatards and super short shorts,so showing of your figures but in a subtley sexy way...

#4-Vintage knit luxe- Layerd,luxourious fabrics paired together for the ultimate glamourous,vintage luxe look,combining heavy knitwear,cord,velvets with vintage finds-leather bags,belts and jersey T's.

My Garment Designs

I am so happy with how the garments turned out,specially as my sewing skills are limited.
My adorable sister really made these Photo's amazing,it was so fun and inspiring to shoot.

I have'nt done some fashion illustrations for a while,so with some spare time on my hands,I did this illustration,styled with clothes and accessories, that I'd love to be wearing,if I could, if I had the money to splash out on a new wardrobe.
I think this look has quite an eighties,rocker,Madonna esk look,with my own modern twist? What do you think?
