OMG...

Things have been so rough the past few weeks that i almost went mad not getting enough sleep... Thankfully term 1 has just finished... and I can start blogging again..

Here are just some images of my portfolio work from last year, that I brought for my interview to get onto my current BA course.

The project was called 'opposites and contrasts'... so basically I had a vision of beautiful things.. like innocence, against anorexia and self inflicted pain, natural against man-made, traditional against modern, stuff like that. But the one i really liked was the innocence and ballerina against anorexia and blood and anger. I thought that was my strongest theme and really helped boost my project.

This is some fabric manipulation work we had to do in Textile class... It was kind of scary but fitted perfectly for my project. It was supposed to depict blood and intestines just dripping out from a perfectly beautiful immaculate skin.

More design work... I can't imagine how much effort i put into these sheets last year. I practically slaved over them!

My friends voted this as their favourite page last year!

Some garment pattern cutting work we had to do to produce our designs.

Final collection line-up... The dress I made for the fashion show is the third one from the right. Easy and simple haha.

I'll be taking photos of my recent portfolio work for this term and updating my blog soon!

2 hour & 2 minute sketches

My 2 hour sketches...

Analysing texture and sillhouette of sculptures in the British Museum.

Analysing drape and folds of another sculpture in the British Museum.

Ever so detailed drawing of a historical gown from Victoria and Albert Museum. I do love this gown and wish i had it myself.

Analysing the dirt on my hand after drawing... Im pretty sure my hand looked blacker than this photo but i think the flash made my hand whiter than my actualy skin even looks like.

And some 2 minute fashion illustrations done for a research we had to do a week ago at college...

And some of my favourite outfit photos from the previous weeks...

A very feminine look that I'm not sure I'll wear again but I loved the colour on the dress that I had to wear it... The dress was from a charity shop that costed me 2 pounds!!!!!! Yessss I love it when i find cheap things my size.

Very interesting fabric details...

One of my favourite looks so far... I matched an oversized blazer with printed chiffon dress and belted them.

I love this photo because my legs look longer than they actually are in real life sigh...


And one of the rare items I feel I paid good money for...

The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman. Photos of amazing streetstyles page after page... my source of inspiration and the only textbook i'll ever need for the rest of my life! I have a knack for exaggerating but this time Im probably not!!!

I got it from Amazon at a reduced price and I waited in my flat whole day for the delivery... Did not want to wait for rescheduling delivery and I had to see that book!!! The best buy I made in a long time!

What a Mess...

In my sketchbook...

A sketch of my bf sleeping peacefully during one of our trips during my summer break.


Another outfit I wore a couple of weeks ago during a rare sunny day in London...

Things have been very busy at college and im practically sketching 10 times a day with only one design that i may like among all of them. I promised myself to update my blog twice a week but that commitment went down the drain too quickly...

I'm missing home so much!
