Had quite an interesting lecture today in my module, 20th Century Fashion. Fashion Designer Roland Klein came in to speak to us about couture. The man use to work with Karl Lagerfeld and Maxmara and can you believe he had his own company and everything, got bored and started in Interiors instead ? :-o I mean he use to design outfits for Princess Diana when she was alive. Thats one achievement that was once every designers dream.
Other than that, I don't think I've stopped working on my uni projects and given myself a break! I've got trend research and boards for Martin Margiela due in on Tuesday, then patterns and samples on Friday next week. Eek! It's going to get hectic !

Jum Nakao
Brazilian design Jum Nakao constantly impresses me. His ability to adopt origami techniques and incorporate them into clothes is brilliant. The man is so talented and innovative.
Future Beauty: 30 years of Japanese Fashion
 |
The Future Beauty exhibition at the Barbican in London was a privilege to see. Some of the most amazing and influential Japanese designers like Comme des Garcons, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto had their beautiful creations under one roof. The work, techniques and creativity that had gone into many of these garments was exquisite. The girls on my course who get to study some of these designers for their design development project are really lucky ! These were just some of the pieces i managed to get pictures of in the galleries but there were plenty more I wanted. It certainly gives me some new ideas to explore in my own design work, especially with a design project on conceptual fashion coming up.
