Yeeeeeaaah..

I am not a blogger. Period. I suck at it. But here we are! Over a month later, my project is done! I'm going to backtrack, and I'll post things as they developed. Sorry.




This shrug was finished back in November, right before Thanksgiving, though it didn't make it into the first photoshoot. There is the obvious ribcage reference, and I continued the "bad veterinary stitches" as my professor Dylan calls them. The whole shrug was hand sewn, and made of (my favorite of the fabrics I have) knitted tie dyed wool, really pretty and gauzey.





Lunar Gala has been going well too! I have 10 lovely models already assigned, and I'll start fitting with them when we get back in January. This was the sign that was posted at our LG meeting, back when the models were assigned and they had to come meet me for measurements.



This lovely lady, my muuuuuuse. Emily Gavin modeled for my whole lookbook. She was so excited and great through the whole thing. What a great model. The lookbook turned out incredibly wonderfully amazingly fantastical, I'll post those photos soon as well.



And finally, these cool kids, the models of Spirit. I've taken on another fashion show for spring semester. I'll be designing for Spirit Fashion Show as well as Lunar Gala. It'll be a lot of work, but since my LG collection is done, minus fittings, I think it'll be great. I'm meeting next week to start really fleshing out my ideas for SFS. All I'll say about that is: Grace Jones.

Winter break has been awesome so far, can't wait to get crackin' on some super fun personal projects, as well as my portfolio. And now back to watching Pulp Fiction and eating graham crackers...

Spirit.

It's s hard to think about next semester, right now. Next Monday is my last course selection of college, this semester will be over in less than three weeks! Kind of hard to believe. Next semester is also Spirit Fashion Show, in April. Spirit is the black students' association on campus, and like Lunar Gala, they hold a fashion show. My friend Tina is on the board, and she's been encouraging me to apply. Honestly, it is so hard for me to think that far in advance. But last night I made a point to get the submission done, and turned it in at just the last minute!

Lust, Sloth, Pride, and Gluttony finishes from my Spirit Fashion Show submission.

The application required a mini project. They asked for 3 to 5 sketches on the theme of "Seven Deadly Sins". Since the show is usually pretty theatrical, I went with gowns inspired by 4 of the 7 sins: Lust, Sloth, Pride, and Gluttony. Here is some of my process:
