So this Saturday me and my close friend amber decided it was about time we did some retail therapy! we had a lovely little day out in Sheffield chilling out, shopping and just catching a few little buskers out and about in the the street. Obviously you cant go out shopping and not stop off for a coffee so you can probably already guess where we went. yes STARBUCKS! my fave.. but like the fuss bum she is amber hates coffee so she just got a cold blend smoothie instead! i had my usual skinny hazelnut late and it was to die for, just amazing.

Hey guys!!! So I'm totally sporting the monochrome trend ATM!! I know it's nearly spring/summer YAY SUPER EXCITED but surprisingly my wardrobe isn't full of colour just yet! But I do have my eyes on some eye blasting pieces!! Anyway... So I did a little shop the other day and didn't even move from the monochrome trend in topshop!!! 

 This is my final out come of the PVC skirt without the attatchment! let me just say i am so proud!! at times i have been so close to tears making this garment but it was so worth the stress!! this PVC fabric put me under a lot of preassure as once you go wrong there is no going back!! BUT I DID IT!! and it has gone exaclty how i imagined it. i found the waistband to be the hardes part as the pvc just kept twisting... but i did it!!!

once i had chosen my final design it was time to start on my toile. it is make from calico and netting. it is going to be a PVC skirt with a zip detailing at the bottom. it will also have a netting trim around the skirt! i have created a attatchement using netting. you can take the attachment off and zip it back on whenever you feel like you want to change the look. once you take it off it has a zip cover to cover up the zip which then looks like a little pocket. i found it quite easy creating the toile but i know it will be a challege when it comes to making the real thing.

Here are my final design boards! i am super super excited about these and i am so pleased with how they have turned out! i have used the same media that i have used in my book but also added a little splash of acrylic, black ink and glitter to the side of my page as i didnt want too much going on. I decided to call my collection pretty in punk becasue of the mixture of punk and new romantics as the new romantics is a little more pretty and fluffy with the netting, frills and lace where as punk is really tough and bold.

My chosen customer is a 22 year old Fashion student called Lucy Rance! i thought she was perfect to use as she is well known in the youtube and blogging industry and her style is exactly what im going for. she likes to be different and shops at high street, upper high street and has some one of designer pieces. she loves to shop on asos too which was a key aspect for me.



My mood board is jam packed with inspiration from the late 70's - early 80's and today punk fashion. i am really pleased with how my board has turned out as the layering of the images look really effective! we have david bowie, strawberry switch blade, madonna and boy george on there! i also have images of Jean Pauls Collections that i have used on their. My project is all about british punk and the new romantic fashion movement and this board deffinitley captures that inspiration.

THIS collection inspired my project massively! i absolutley love this exhibition. Chaos to Coututre was an exhibition that was held at the met gala in 2013 spring.it examines punks high impact on fashion from its birth in the early 1970's. it is a collaboration of many designers such as.. Vivienne Westwood, christopher bailey, Dolce and Gabbana, Viktor & Rolf, Yohji Yamamoto, Alexander Mcqueen and many many more! i just think the ideas and designs are amazing! they totally blew me away! here are some more pictures from the exhibition ...
