Graduate Fashion Week UCA Epsom 2011

Well the final year of my degree has been a long but amazing journey to get to yesterdays show at Graduate Fashion Week! There was lots of excitement backstage as we all waited for our turn on the catwalk. My collection, which was based on Sherlock Holmes with a fun and modern twist, was the first menswear collection onto the catwalk. Everything went smoothly and the atmosphere was like nothing I had experienced! Such an amazing day! Here are some photos of my collection backstage and on the catwalk:

Back stage at London Fashion Week - Ann-Sofie Back

Today was the Ann-Sofie Back show at LFW. I helped to dress the models and got a good look at the collection, which was really pretty, simple and conceptual in a way. With metal oval bars pulling the garments into the body at different places, positioned over the shoulders and as head accessories. The colours were mainly black and white with a few warm pastel shades of green, pink and beige. Overall the models looked amazing in the garments and the hair and makeup was done in a sleek but striking way. We also managed to sneak into the LFW exhibition which was quite interesting and full of new companys....and pretty shoes, but shame we couldn't buy anything!!

A day in Brighton

I spent the day in Brighton taking lots of photos with my new camera, and although the weather was cold and windy I got some good images of the sea and pier.

Also, whilst trying to find the car park (which was a bit of a mission considering we parked miles away) I came across this graffiti, which I thought looked really good and brightened up what would be just a normal boring back street.

Inspiration

Sherlock Holmes is the main inspiration for my final collection....don't want to give the whole concept away but hopefully it will be good!! Watch this space!

Sock monkey!

While researching for my final collection i found this image of a sherlock Holmes sock monkey...how cute!!
