Check it out!

Last week I was lucky enough to be chosen to present my Final Collection, Mission, on the Bath Spa university Catwalk. After working so hard it was amazing seeing everything come together and seeing another 11 of my fellow Bath Spa designers work.

The show was a joint show with Norwich University of the Arts and it was amazing to get to share a catwalk with Jess long-whom I met and did my Art Foundation with. You can see all the pictures of the show on Vogue of my work and the rest of Bath Spa.

We also got a great review over on Modeconnect which summarises the show beautifully.

The week then got even better as I got down to one of 25 Graduates to go forward for the Best of GFW2014 and the Awards show. It was so exciting seeing everything again and to get my work seen by even more people and the response has been unlike anything I imagined it would.

Although I didn't win an Award, just to be nominated and interviewed was a privilege.

You can see some of the award show collections on the GFW Blog

5 weeks in Brighton #Week5

My Final Week at Knit-1 was contour and 3D week. Probably the week I was looking forward to the most, it definitely didn't let me down, and it's something I hope to continue working with in my work. I ended the week by challenging myself to make a dress in a day and a half, using lots of different techniques that I had learnt during the week.(Little Red Dress)

My time at Knit-1 was extremely rewarding and interesting, it was so great to learn so much and now understand how to do all the things I was desperate to learn. Needless to say I am missing it a lot already and I can't wait to get stuck into my Final year, making use of all the things I have learnt this summer.

5 Weeks in Brighton #Week4

Week 4 at Knit-1 was Intarsia week. Me and intarsia did not start off being such a great match..but I got there in the end and have developed a small collection of children's jumpers using inspiration from vintage photographs and to be created using the intarsia technique.

5 Weeks in Brighton #Week3

So this last week was garment week at Knit-1 and the first step was following a pattern. I decided to go with the "Her's" sweater :

I didn't want to go too out there so stuck pretty much to the basic design and focused on getting it made correctly.

5 Weeks in Brighton #Week2

Last week I took on cables. I really enjoyed learning about so many different techniques and loved creating giant cables, draping with them, and then finally creating a dress.

Here are few samples from the week.
