This weeks brief was 30 designs on a Culture. I chose to do 15 on Flamenco dancers (Spanish) and 15 on Africa, however i'm really unhappy with those designs so I dont think ill be putting them up!
I chose to do Flamenco as 'fishtail/mermaid' dresses are very trend at the moment, especially in bridal and I absolutely LOVE them!!!

A - This dress is a laser cut neckline, one sleeved floor length gown. With a white bodice, gradually going into a red skirt, revealing black netting underneath.

B - This is a sleeved dress with knee length tassels from each sleeve. Also with subtle tiering down the skirt.

C - I love this. A fitted sleeved dress with a mesh fishtail skirt and placements of lace on the mesh and up the bodice 'connecting it'. A long train too.

D - A very thin strappy, backless dress with a fitted bodice and tiered skirt in a red and dark red stiff (to hold the ruffles) fabric.

E - Halter neck dress, with a fitted bodice and very full skirt made up of panels that are slightly frayed, squares of fabric.

Pop Art Collection - 

I normally try and relate my collections back to bridal if possible as that is what pathway I am taking but as the theme this week was Pop Art it was quite impossible to put this into a bridal collection as no traditional bride would wear a Pop Art wedding dress, as it is heavily influenced by digital print.

A - This is a blue body suit with yellow digital print, and a yellow mesh gathered skirt.

B - A blue shift dress with a icon image of two hands and a ring.

C - White t-shirt dress with icon digital print words on and bright colours.

D - Paneled dress with very bright multi coloured clashing fabric, seperated by thick black lines.

E - Crop top and matching shorts in clashing colours with opposite coloured hems and digital print words.

Couture Bridal inspired by Roses!

This collection had to be based on Couture Roses this week. As I want to specify as much i can into bridal, I thought this theme would be perfect to do it.

I used the Roses for embellishment, embroidery, detailing, draping and the colour. I tried to step out of my comfort zones (just designing dresses I like) and these photos are the 6/20 of the ones I found the most different. 

A - This dress was inspired by 1950's. Its a short lilac dress with lots of tulle. It has fabric roses embroidered on the bodice, a satin waistband and cascading roses into the skirt.

B - Off the shoulder dress, with a fitted bodice and a rose detailing on the left corner with gathers of the skirt falling away from it.

C - This is my favourite. A vintage feel to it. A boho chic inspired dress. Very thin straps with a slightly gathered skirt with fabric roses all around the hem. Completely backless. 

D - This is a very prom dress inspired one. Very short pink dress, with a big tulle skirt. It has fabric roses on the bodice.

E - Another boho/garden wedding inspired one. Loose cami top to it, with thin straps. A fitted skirt going into a slight fishtail, and forest coloured (blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, orange) roses around each joining.

F - A high/low pink dress, with very exaggerated hem line. Fabric roses cover the inside of the skirt.

This collection is based on the theme of mixing Classic Tudor with Heavy Rock. I found this weeks theme quite challenging and it took me all week to create 20 designs. As I am doing bridal it was hard to create elegant dresses with two of the most different topics.

A - This is one of my favourites. A massive tudor neck piece, attached to a very short rock inspired hemline. With heavy pleats and lots of netting underneath.

B - This is another of my favourites. A gold plated neck piece, attached to a very big, structured dress with a wide skirt, and a rocky thigh high split showing off studded thigh boots.

C - A very tudor dress, with a square neckline, wide sleeves, and red hems. A rocky hemline and red hems covered in studs.

D - A a-symmetrical dress with a very small jacket with connecting ruffled neck piece.

E - A fitted midi dress with square neckline, 3/4 sleeves, studded hems, and a neck ruffle used as a peplum.

F - A more simple dress, with a boned corset bodice and a neck ruffle as a peplum.

Swim Collection S/S 2013

This is a really old drawing and is really bad, but I've kept it on here to show my progress.

This illustration is based on the glamorous Ibiza beach party's  Hence the shoes. I took inspiration from Victoria's Secret Calender Girls segment with the massive floppy hat which I absolutely love! 

I may do this drawing again to see how much my drawing techniques have changed.
