FD Fashion Show, Newcastle College SS11

As if i have just noticed that I never actually published any photographs from my final catwalk show last year, my tea cup inspired collection. So here's a little over view of the garments and accessories that I made :)

p.s. the catwalk photographs were taken by my lovely girlee smiffle :}

My shirt dress - light weight cotton with a dusky pink silk dupion section, edged in cream chiffon with tiny mother of pearl buttons.

This is a close up of the rose which I drew by hand, then had it digitally printed. I then machine embroidered it onto the shirt dress.

Little close up to show chiffon edging and tiny pearly buttons.

This is the back of my dress. I drew the rose then created a repeat print which was then digitally printed onto a light cotton fabric. The dress is again silk dupion and the printed fabric panel is edged with cream chiffon.

My favourite garment!!
These palatso trousers are made from a cream chiffon with a dusky pink silk dupion waist band.

My dress is made from a dusky pink 

silk dupion and a floral printed section, edged with a cream chiffon. The print was hand drawn by myself and created into a repeat pattern.

This is just a little boob tube top made from appliqued digitally printed roses to be worn with my trousers.

Georgia Hardinge SS12

This collection seemed to float onto the catwalk with luxurious amounts of geometric printed fabric. The whole collection had this fluid feel, despite the hard shirt and collar details, slim fitting silhouettes and pointed tailoring on the hips of the garments. The way she used tonal greys, whites and sheer fabric fitted perfectly with the cut and styling of the collection, adding hints of colour in gradient yellow to grey and orange to grey dresses and tops, and in block coloured shirts and skirts. Styling the block colour with sheer fabric, or a tailored skirt with a soft draped top kept the collection feminine and clean. Make up was simple and clean, with the hair swept back into a tight square bun. I loved inch of this collection and look forward to how this brand will develop into next season.
