Design Inspiration - Holly Fulton

A current major design crush of mine is Holly Fulton, for her design signatures of “Graphic print, luxurious materials and hot accessories.”

Her silhouettes are youthful yet elegant, mirrored in her well balanced use of embellishment and bold print. It is this well tuned relationship between simplicity and extravagance which mean the clothes look beautiful on the body and on a hanger. 

I feel Fulton captures themes well within her collection with clever styling, her designs almost seem carefully constructed yet effortlessly done. Her style and work is easy to recognise, yet still full of surprises with continuously strong and sexy collections gracing the catwalks of Fashion weeks. 

She studied at Edinburgh and the RCA, and won awards such as the Swarovski Emerging Talent Award for Accessories at the British Fashion Awards and BFC/ELLE Talent Launch Pad winner.

I am very much taking note... 

In hindsight - An introduction

I wouldn't go too far wrong to recommend you follow my instagram to keep up with my Autumn term activities @izzym77. 

Balancing work and social life is a task which should not restrict or limit social networking, if anything it should enhance it! 

So please excuse my backdated posts, though this hindsight will hopefully prove some useful purpose towards reflection. 

Back in Business

It's official. I have stooped to a new low. I've resorted to using tight revealing clothing to get me grades....

Well, sort of. (Let's hope it gets me a grade at all!)

This is my Co-op poduct - a project aimed to raise awarness of our consumption, waste and sustainabilty. So I give you; Knitted Plastic Swimwear! (KPS maybe? - if it doesn't already mean something/ something rude)

Next step is to write a business proposal - in the form of a report and a presentation. I am very excited for this - I feel trend/ market research is more by bag than more historical reading. I enjoy the theoretical side of writing essays - but I've not got the knack for writing them. 

It helps that I am passionate about my product, and I find the swimwear fashion market sector (thingy) an engaging thing to research. I feel writing an essay is appealing because then that becomes a product, but with this business approach the product is physical and the proposal only goes to support it. 

Anyway this is all on my to-do list for my Winter break. Keeping my work as seasonal as ever...
