Fashion Wizards


As I have said in previous posts, I was doing filming over the summer Holidays for 'Fashion Wizards'.  Due to the this blog Started, the production company found my blog and asked me to fill in a form, do a intro video, and if all that went well, go to the audition. Surprisingly I got asked to come along to the audition! So I appeared at the audition day, nervous as hell! Early start, and well I'm not a morning person. Though as soon as I got there, I was shocked to see who was there, in the sea of young kids, was Union Olivia! It was so exciting to finally meet the amazing blogger, kept me entertained through the whole day of waiting. We were called out one by one to do little videos, many of the kids went to Stagcoach, and I had no experience of professional acting; which added to the nerves. Later another 14 yr old turned up, when I saw her I thought 'OH MY GOSH, the competition has got harder!', and she looked like a Glamizon, she was another blogger Izzy; who has an amazing blog (check it out ;)). What amazed me was I got through to the final four; I was 'Wowed' out of my mind; this lead to an o amount of opportunities, and at the end we all made a mini collection! Now that is all I shall spill now due to copyright reasons but it is being screened this Friday; from 3:55pm (assuming it shall be repeated); please tune in to see Izzy, Olivia and I. Pleaise don't be put off by Disney, it's not all cheese, I kept to an edgy inspired style ;).

It's all about Texture

Long time no blog! Sorry I have been occupied with GCSE, oh joy. Well anyway I will make sure I keep up with the blogging. As you know it was New York Fashion week, and now London Fashion week. Christopher Kane showed this week at London, with a fabulous mix match of textures, decades and designs. From 1950's like suits, mixed with neons and plastic aesthetics, keeping it fresh and contemporary for the summer, with flip flop liked heels, and bold prints. It was new but similar to many other SS collection from Christopher Kane. The SS collections at the moments have a  key element of a mix match of texture ,which I  LOOOOVEEEEE! The mix match of textures, complimented by mix matching with the garment style, plastic being key. Which reminds me I must get my photo shoot done for my collection! Plus; trying to get a new camera any suggestions???

Lastly an outfit post ;):







And so Summer Begins

The SS11 shows have begun, it seems so odd as it now just feels like Autumn; though this is the way of the fashion Industry, 'Fashion Forward'.

One of the collections I have seen is Alexander Wang's. Absolutely breath taking. The painted white hair, matched to the garments, so fresh, reminded me so much of the 90's...Though what made it really to my liking as the mixture of fabrics; which is a key technique of mine, and mixing it with older styles. On top of this keeping it relaxed at the same time. The tones very much consisted of pastels and light tones, as summer does, of pastel greens, to yellows to whites; a beautiful mixture.

I think i maybe a shoeoholic

Quick post! Sorry for the lack of posting, I have been so busy plus stressed but all will be revealed soon! Anyhow being  a sucker for vintage, I couldn't resist these beauties. First of all the amazing 70's midnight blue sequin heels, I feel like the Punky version of Dorothy in them, clicking the heels to the phycadelic home of the 70's ;). Last of all my gorgeous office school shoes; a mix between brogues and Loafers, with the to tone, it adds a whole edge to it. I've just got one word...
S H O E S!

OH MY JEEPERS

You may have noticed I just did a post on creepers but i decded I had more to add,so new post about must buys! From Jeffrey Campbell to creepers.

Jeffrey Campbell has been slowwly moving up the secene; first being a huge hit in America, and being available from Nasty Gal (best vinatge shop ever!). Though now it's here on the highstreet, available in Office and Motel. Take a look at the beauties....(shoe craving)

Last of all the AMAZING CREPERS!





New trend! Creepers are the new Dr Marten, I'm thinking massive hit next year, and they are coming on the scene this AW. Vogue recently used them for a shoot, proving to be high fashion. Works perfectly with floaty dresses, and textures, the whole contrast really works, evident in Viktor and Rolf AW10. . Plus Izzy from StudMuffin (oh yes Izzy's unite, and sorry for miss spelling before!) where's them really where, I shall be doing some shoots with them soon, both for lookbook and my collection (MASSIVOO PHOTO SHOOT COMING UP WHOOP)! Also don't forget to check out Armand Basi, she has done a great AW10  collection with creeprs, I'm envious of her, a bit similar to mine, with the textures, seen with the first two pics!

Neglect

Well it may have seemed like the blog had died, but the fact is I have been awfully busy, and school starts tomorrow including GCSE'S, oh joy....! So just in my little segment of free time, I thought i had to do a blog post! The first thing that occurred to my head was ...VINTAGE, we all love vintage; it's unique, it can be cheap, it has a story and remember it's not what you wear it's how you wear it ;) (a bit cheesy...)!

Well for all you followers, I have found something quite special.... ' THE VINTAGE KILO SALE'! Including garments from the 1960's -1980's, accessories, both womenswear and menswear! The whole catch is that, every kilo of vintage garments and accessories you buy is only £15! Otherwise you can buy any other garments from the price of £5-£8, depending on what it is, and accessories from £5, and coats from £10! Nothing could sound better, and will do a massivoooo blog post when it comes up, as I will make sure I'll be attending to see how good it is.

It takes place on the 13th and 14th Of November, in the lo actions off Brick Lane, perfect vintage spot:
The Rag Factory
16 Heneage Street
London
E1 5LJ
(Just off Brick Lane, Whitechapel end)

For more info visit: The Vintage Kilo

P.S. I am so HAAAAAPPPY with all the late new followers, 110!!! YAAAY :D keep it up ;),

Business

I have been so busy recently filming for a TV programme, can't say what it is for copyright reason, but it's to do with fashion, so that's the reason for lack of posting! Also I was in Topshop yesterday on Oxford Street, and we got evacuated! The alarms suddenly went off while I was in the toilet, and about a few thousand people flooded out. Plus I saw Diana Vickers!! Now due to busy schedule, I shall leave you with some beautiful exclusive AW10  collection images by Louis Vuitton. Beautiful, and emphasising 'more is less'.

New blog Design...

Votes were pretty close, but well it turned out to be a 'Nay' to the new blog design, and well I in some ways agree, and trust me I've wanted a bigger layout. So I'm thinking of moving...wordpress, tmblr? I really need something that shows off the images, after all this is a fashion blog! But do not fret, I shall keep looking through their templates and see what I can do...;)

And here is some insane make up I did over the weekend, and also the song I'm addicted to ;) :

Special people; yes very special

My dear dear followers, now I know the blog layout has changed, and I can't change it back, as of Bloggers new template designer; SO ANNOYING! And the new designs aren't as spacious! Okay, sorry a bit of moaning there. Anyways please place your vote in the poll on the right for new blog design! 


Well I met up with my friend Cora; we had a rather coooool day, bought some funky fabrics. I shall do a post on that later, once i've made my design, which consists of vintage lace sleeves, and spandex...don't worry it's not as disastrous as it sounds ;). Here are a few pics of our day; while chilling ;):

Lookbook post ;)


Creative Inspiration

A pure imagery post, when looking for creative inspiration;  for a collection I'm doing. I find the best way to go is to look through images. In this case, and most cases I normally choose 'Dazed and Confused' magazine, though saving that for another post ;). So I google image searched ( a search based on dazed and confused;)); and what a miracle it is, the amount of homework done through that.... Will be back to normal posting soon, busy times ahead.
