#New Designers, London

so after my final term as a first year Fashion Design Student at Falmouth University, ive had questions asked which i couldn't answer and i thought it was time to find out!  i've been seriously thinking about my future and what i would like to do after University!  There are so many options to think about.  

I took a trip up to New Designers Graduate Show in London last week,  it was crazily inspiring and amazing to see current graduates work from all over the country displayed for visitors to view.  I've noticed since starting uni and having 2 best friend who study Textlie Design that i am definately drawn to print.  As well as my love for Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto.  

One of the designers thats display really caught my attention was Kerry Anne Long. Her Psychedelic Geometric Concept was really something different.  Looking origami and and fabric manipulation to inspire her project and prints one of her final garments was really very beautiful.

#Term as a Fashion Student at Falmouth

Second term at uni is coming to an end.  i cannot believe how quickly the term has gone, its insane!! so much has happened in 10 weeks! Denim Project, Research, Design, Make & Crit, Yoga Brief, Research, Design, Make & Crit, London Fashion Week, Collaborations with Fashion Photography, and House hunting for next year with my best friend!  its been insane, it really has.

Before starting uni everyone i spoke to about doing fashion design said how intense the course was and how fast paced everything was.  i have never heard such truer words spoke.  no matter how much someone tells you how intense it is, you can't ever prepare yourself enough.  there is never enough hours in the day to do everything, its usually the socialising that takes a side track unfortunately.  but i have found you are never ever bored!  its impossible.  we have just finished our 2nd major project of the term and found out we don't have an easter project, which came as a massive shock.  meaning 4 weeks of nothing.  in a weirdly nerdy way im kind of disappointed   i like being occupied i dont like doing nothing, but im sure i can find something to do :)

But for now im just going chill in my last few days of term and make the most of being in sunny Falmouth.  Maybe even pop to the beach tomorrow afternoon,  i definitely dont take enough advantage of being so near to the sea.

#what a buzz

after a week in the big city getting home to Caerphilly was all that i wanted. see my family and freinds, and of course be spoilt with food and mummy cuddles.  perfect! LFW was a the biggest fashion event i have attended and such an amazing experience! Blagging my way and queing for hours to see shows and only getting to a door closing right before your eyes, it was a tough week.  but fear not i managed to see one catwalk show and two live streamings.  i managed to get into the Emilio de la Morena catwalk show, which was insane. i am a huge fan of Morenas previous collections so getting into his show was an epic experience for myself.

Just a few photos from my week in London.  beautiful views from the train in Teignmouth, Chinatown, Old Bond Street, Soho Fabric Store, Emilio de la Morena Show, Mary K at Dover Street, Maria Grachvogel Streaming, and Libertys, the most amazing store in the entire world!!!

Also the lovely Mich Dulce hat intern we interviewed at Somerset House!

I definatley want to reeturn to london in September for S/S14 so will be searching tickets asap!

#fashion week is approaching

Fashion week has kicked off in London Town, im still currently in Falmouth and getting the train to London earlier monday morning. We kind of miss most of the main goings ons at LFW by arriving so late, but unfortunatley i have no means of staying near London to get to somerset house for any of the buzz. I am beyond excited to get to a big city, be a bit of change to small town fal'. Outfit choicing is such a huge deal and im worried i'll be taking the wrong things. I'll try and get a pre london outfit post up this weekend for ya guys!

Much Love
