take part in a fashion show hosted by the Royal Albert Hall. The Fashion Show was based upon Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly and we had to design, create and model our outfits on the set. We got the chnace to work with industry professionals and find out all about how much effort and organisation it takes to run a fashion show. It was an incredible opportunuity to be given and one which I will never forget. My outfit is the one which is pink, has three layers on the skirt, which each have screen printed fans which I made on them, the hems on the layers of the skirts were fitted with a thick wire to give movement and fluidty to the design, the bodice was simpler with a few flower decorations on it. I also made a fan which was decorated with textural plaeted silk which I then dyed to fit in with the colour scheme.Lauren Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125010753105479244noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207095614222682372.post-12614168179894726202009-11-23T13:01:00.000-08:002009-11-23T13:16:44.359-08:00Ke$ha<img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/z8q0awwhwtlka0wz.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/z9w34t1e9q4kzkw9.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/KeshaForumcom.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/kesha.jpg"width=500><br /><br />Her song TiK ToK has been swimming around in my head all weekend, I have it on repeat all the time!

I had one large canvas and little ones on it, this is supposed to represent like a page from a photo album (with the little page corner in he top right hand corner) and i tried to portray a different memory onto each canvas. I also made another piece to go with this, which is the box, I filled this with some photos, letter, objects and fabric to create a 'Memory box' type thing.Lauren Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125010753105479244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207095614222682372.post-4809904395359449492009-11-17T15:26:00.000-08:002009-11-17T15:51:24.095-08:00Day Trip to York<img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5285.jpg"width=500><br />(I used this on a design for a t-shirt)<br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5293.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5334.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5295.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5388.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5186.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5160.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5234.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5238.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/100_5274.jpg"width=500><br /><br />Earlier this year we had a group project and for it we had to go to York to take some inspirational photos which would go with our trend research as well as helping to inspire our final designs.

This was all done to become a design for a final product, I chose cushions for mine. We then had to work out what the costing would be for a product like this and how we would go about creating it.Lauren Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125010753105479244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207095614222682372.post-56524079101393240232009-11-14T08:34:00.000-08:002009-11-14T08:48:05.155-08:00Satin and Chiffon<img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0456.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0457.jpg"width=500><br /><br />At the end of 6th form we had a summer ball/prom and instead of buying a dress I wanted to make one, so I bought some gold coloured satin and chiffon and draped and played around with it until I finally got to the point where I liked it!

I then free stitched over this to hold all the fabric together. The second piece I made was a bodice with bronzed feathers/leaves across it and an embellished piece across half of the bodice, there is also piece which goes along the back diagonally.Lauren Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125010753105479244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207095614222682372.post-36955672323008132782009-11-10T17:06:00.000-08:002009-11-10T17:28:01.210-08:00Bang!<img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0370.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0371.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0393.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0395.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0399.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0405.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0406.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0409.jpg"width=500><br /><br />Fireworks night has been and gone once again and through the wind and the rain I tried to get some decent photos of them, sorry if some of them aren't quite as clear as others although sometimes that can make for a more exciting photo perhaps? I love the intense colours and shapes that fireworks make and think they're so inspiring.Lauren Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125010753105479244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207095614222682372.post-78140390954037302852009-11-10T16:57:00.000-08:002009-11-10T17:06:16.648-08:00Ink.<img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/15561_321777070467_549980467_944364.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/15561_321777515467_549980467_944364.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/15561_321778000467_549980467_944-1.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><br />We went to a house party a little while ago and went dressed as cavegirls and my housemate, who also studies Fashion Design, wanted some tribal tattoos, so I got out the face paint and a paintbrush and started scribbling on her and this is what it ended up looking like.Lauren Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125010753105479244noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207095614222682372.post-85087792690502592232009-11-09T12:36:00.001-08:002009-11-09T12:43:19.286-08:00Harvey Nichols Fashion Show<img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0135.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0122.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0123.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0134.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0143.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0139.jpg"width=500><br /><br /><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac178/FashionIsMyRemedy/103_0149.jpg"width=500><br /><br />Two other fashion students and myself attended an interactive fashion show at Harvey Nichols in Leeds, the models walked around the shop floor wearing designer clothes which ranged from, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana and Diane Von Furstenberg.

I looked at the artist Degas and his paintings and pictures of the ballet and I also looked at Mackintosh's watercolours of flowers and plants. for the skirt I quilted satin after screen printing a light wash of flowers and plants that I had drawn, I then free stitched over this to make the colours pop and give more texture to the skirt. For the bodice I stitched some net on and then free stitched some flowers and leaves onto it to continue the theme. I used eyelets and ribbon to lace up the back of the bodice and also made a net tutu to go under the skirt to give it more volume.</div>Lauren Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08125010753105479244noreply@blogger.com4
