Sorting through all my old e-mails I came across a photo of the jumpsuit I made from second year at uni.
Styled by the Amazing Sarah Barlow and Modelled by Katy Heridge.

David Koma

I have always admired David Koma, loving these looks from the new collection and that hopefully soon with him doing a collection for Topshop I will be able to purchase a David Koma design for myself. Leather is still so big this coming winter luckily my new purchase is a leather jacket, I'm sure I still have some left over from my uni collection maybe I need to make a one off leather piece when I get a free minute.

Sunday evening browsing coverage of the shows with a cuppa, loving both these looks

What Katie Did

My most recent project. 
Looking at who I am as a designer, what makes me tick and what makes me individual. 

My design Philosophy, roughly 700 words explaining what I am about, I put this into a small book together with images and quotes that inspire me.



These are a few pages from my sketchbook.



I visited a little pleating company in north London, it was amazing they pleat all their fabric by hand! I put in a few bits of fabric to get pleated so I can work with them.

Inspiration in my sketchbook, background photograph from fireworks, I used as inspiration.

Print design experimentation on stretch jersey.

Collage ideas and visit to the V&A.

ongoing work..


Some ongoing work that I am currently doing, Ideas for dress development. think that I will take the two on the right hand side forward.


Crazy Dinosaur Trousers!


Fun fun fun.. If not a little crazy but I love it! For my project at the moment and just because I can. The top is Gretels own but the trousers are defiantly made by me. I'm so happy with them I think I like the back better than the front I think is just the way they drape better. 


Some of my work...

Ok so I decided to take some better photographs of my work so you can see what I get up to. The first two are a recent project based on a much sportier theme for me, modeled by the lovely Katy. The quilted skirt is from 2nd year, modeled by my other lovely housemate Peg. The hareem style trousers and top are also both from a recent project. The cape is from a 2nd year project, I wear this a lot, the fur (fake obviously) is so warm and cosy. This also has a white dress with it that I made a few weeks ago although it is a bit hard to see against the white background. Then last is my all in one jumpsuit, I think this is my favorite up to this point I wish I could fit into it, hopefully I will make myself one, when I get a spare moment in time! 




A very big thank you to my two beautiful models Lottie Gretel Peg Maglaughlin and Katy Herridge. And also Pete who let me use her lovely bedroom to do my makeshift photo-shoot. Love you guys.
