In a dark mood

So uni has been quite full on this week!!!! Getting all things ready for the collection is such a chaotic time. So to all fourth years good luck and keep at it!

Rat Bag

This image and for more of images of the editorial go to http://russhmagazine.com/russh/home.html

The editorial Rat Bag in Russh magazine is quite inspiring for my collection as the styling reflects the merging of had and soft silhouettes and fabrics.

Fabric Frustration

Why is it so hard to find good quality wool jersey? i've been searching high and low and i still only have a tiny selection.

Great Image

I love this image from an editorial, "Bunny Aint No Kind of Rider", from Russh Magazine's current issue. The splashes of yellow paint add interest to the photograph and compliments the model.

menswear as inspiration

since my collection is heavily inspired by the screen gangster, it is shaping up to be quite masculine and so many menswear designers are quite inspiring. Take for instance kris van assche's Autumn/Winter 2010/2011 collection.

Simplicity of the Screen Gangster

Ok so i researching my theme for my design work, which is inspired by the screen gangster I have become slightly obsessed with gangster movies like The Godfather. I love this movie, the costuming really plays on the dual personalities of the gangster through such a simplistic uniform.

I just saw this image and thought wow. Its just so simplistic but yet interesting as it plays with light and shade so well.
