LONG DISTANCE CALL: LOOK BOOK A/W 2013

Add caption

As well as the photo shoot, I submitted the lookbook images above. Luckily Khoa brought his Alexander McQueen visor as it fit perfectly with the sharp clean lines of the co-ordinates. I am not going to lie, I was very very tempted to change my theme entirely and title the range Robo-Cop or something related after seeing the visor. I will admit that I am perhaps a little tired of the colour red by now, as you can imagine having to work with the same block of colour for a semester, but I am still so glad with how it turned out and am thankfully still not over the co-ordinate trend :3

LONG DISTANCE CALL: TAILORING OUTFIT

L O N G  D I S T A N C E  C A L L

So I have been abandoned ship for a little while but with good reason! Second year of uni is almost done and I have spent many late nights finishing and adjusting my second semester tailoring outfit. Here are some of the photos from the shoot we took last weekend in the city and I cannot be more pleased with how the shots turned out. I think it's really easy for students to run a muck in the city for their photoshoots, but not have any real back drop or theme to their photoshoot which can sometimes look really tacky and detract from their garment, which I what I tried to avoid (or I hope and like to think so.) From the start I had already envisioned the photoshoot and for me this was a really integral part in the design of the garment. The storyboard in my mind was very clear from day one and I more than anything wanted to get the photo shoot just right. Certainly none of this would have been possible without my beautiful model Claudia and stylist Khoa Nguyen, certainly making a perfect match in cat-filled heaven. 

Honestly cannot thank them enough for taking time out of their days to help a poor and stressed uni student out ^_^

 

Here are some of the preparation pictures just because of I love moodboards :3

INSP: LDR NATIONAL ANTHEM

TELL ME I'M YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM

Can we all just take a minute to bask in the glory that is the National Anthem video clip released within the last week by the Lana Del Rey (she get's a THE before her name because she is amazing and her name is practically a title for how amazing and iconic and beautiful and stunning she is and only she can put her hair in a quiff and channel Jackie O and look this amazing and pull of an Instagram border video and not seem pretentious. I love you LDR)
