First I think it right to tell you "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and now that is out of my system it is probably best to follow that up with, it's hand in day, I've had less than five hours sleep in the last two days and some minor tantrums, like every other fashion slave, but we made it. And I am loving life!
So to minimise the risk of 'ify' sentences and spelling mistakes galore, I'll keep it short and sweet. As follows is one of three of my projects being handed in in my swanky white portfolio today. My Fashion Product work/final major project to you non Trent goers. Translucent B is the brand I have created that represents the changes undergone for a caterpillar to become a butterfly, in form, texture and behaviour and is also a metaphor for the development of a girl into a strong, sassy woman blooming with confidence. A capsule collection of three high end dresses were designed, pattern cut (I type those words shuddering), and manufactured, by Moi, before shot in an incredibly fun, real photoshoot in London town, and then combined with my own illustrations, some super soft pig suede, and an encapsulated dead butterfly to become an illustrated novel. Voila! Blood, sweat, tears, laughs, swear words, and one of the most fantastically ridiculous experiences of life later, we have all systems go.
This is the first day of the rest of our lives (slight cringe and grin all rolled into one)... So with a few hours to spare before the deadline, I'm going to get a sunbed!
