Instead of finishing off design developments ahead of my crit on Friday, i decide to procrastinate on here instead.. woops!  so i had my final tutorial of this project today and hey ho i didn't take any work with me.. bit awkward! but on the positive, my denim shorts for oasis are finally completed with buttons and rivets and ready to be shot tomorrow in our pop up studio.. in the flat! i will post the final images on here tomorrow night as long as it all goes to plan (yn) fingers crossed!


i found out today that having a good customer profile page/board is pretty essential to the project, and me not having one quickly whipped one up, better late than never i suppose :) along with a mood board,  trying combine a customer profile of young, feminine, cutesy, and creative, with my concept of Beautiful Decay was a slight challenge but once it came together im pretty happy with the outcome, yayyyy!! it made sense to use my gorgeous model Sophie as my target customer, knowing her and her characteristics made the designing and understanding alot easier :) woo! hehe,

its fair to say i am loving my first year as a fashion student, but believe me i cannot wait to not have see a another river, belt loop or fly guard for a good while! i felt exactly the same way about my shirt before christmas!

Ive been in uni 4 months nearly and i havent posted anything work related yet! We're currently working on a denim project, with the outcome to make a pair of "5 pocket jeans". My concept is "beautiful decay" looking at decaying objects and sufaces that still appear beautiful to the eye. Also the brand i decided to design for was the high street brand Oasis. Oasis are one of my favourite high street brands, i love their feminity in the branding and styling. Im currently in the process of making the shorts i have designed, and will be modelled by my gorgeous floor mate, sophie. Cheeky! Im really enjoying this project, i am definately more driven than the last project.  Im going to try and get some photos up when there all finished and hopefully looking gorge, but for now ive got few working progress snaps :')
