The sketches!

I've been thinking of uploading my sketches
it's not outstandingly drawn
but usually i like it (cos i draw it :P)

If i compare myself right now and me in the past,
it's like a metamorphosing process,
some people usually metamorphosing in the inside
and not much changing on the surface.
But I metamorphosed in such a huge way,
I metamorphosed in and out,

so, i think this sketch represents it the best..

aaaand.... i put this design to a fashion design contest :D
challenging my confidence and broken soul to show my work to the world,
the finalists get to present the actual dress in the grand final,
I hope i'll be one of them,,
:P

finger crossed..
HOPE doesnt hurt
so hoping is perfectly fine :D

and forgive me for the misspell... should be cocoon instead of coccoon..
i know iknow~! Sorry!

The Hi-shoulder....

I went closet cleaning today. I did my mom's old closet. It is called old closet because she put all her old and unused clothes there. I call it treasure box though. Sometimes.
The reason I did this cleaning was mainly because I want new wardrobes. New old wardrobes.
And I wished i could get an old new something in there.

And all the sudden
I found a big pile of shoulder padded jackets and blazers.
And I was like... "O My God.. Look at these high shoulders!!"
I remember how it made many women look like they just came out of Star Trek.
And because of that, I never liked them.

But then,,
I came across these outfits in the net..
I know, it's been around in the runway quite a lot,
in the magz too,
and I thought I was going to talk about it weeks ago.
It didnt happen until this finding stroke me like a lightning.

Some of the newest doesn't use pads anymore, they raised the shoulder somehow
and call it structured shoulder
but some still uses pads but not as sharp and high as what our moms used to wear -and still wear-.

So after i found the big pile of shoulder padded things in my mom's closet
and find so many articles talk about the comeback..

Gold

Valentino Garavani

Gold is warm.
I believe in that.

Paper Cutout dress

So complicated, so pretty,,
That's what I think about paper-inspired-dresses
These two here mesmerizes me,
and shows huge amount of craftsmanship..

for this one, i dont know whether it is actually wearable on day to day basis, but the art is amazing, at least for me,,, :D

This dress is by: Alithia Spuri-Zampetti a 23 London designer.

While this one here is from Robert Ryan, an artist, singer, and performer.
He puts words and cutouts allover this dress and it makes the dress really stunning in such an elegant way.

And I'm so jealous!
I wanna make paper cutouts dress toooo!!!!

Look,, this paper cutouts can be an inspiration!
But the question is, how to make one from a fabric? :P

I do envy those with hi-tech hi-touch digital cameras!
Look at the work that i've done,
It's pretty bad,
thanks to my Nokia 6600 dodgy camera!

I'm in I.T Cafe right now,
sipping a cup of latte
and having a free hot spot internet

Fitting session

barefoot

My home internet access has reached its limit. Not even reached it, the bytes that i used have exceeded twice the limit.
I shouldve only used 1GB, and I used like 2.3GB. My folks went crazy and i shouldnt use internet at home anymore.
But,,, really, do you think i can live without internet? Neh.

Just a quick update in my sneaky access..

I was finally able to get my fash.design tasks done, and although i have to pay the penalty, i could go for the exams! Yaay!

And today I did the fitting session with the models for my final task dress. It's the peacock dress i told you before.

It went ou terrific, but my dress doesnt seem as ALIVE and OUTSTANDING as the original drawing, that's what I felt and that's what my friends told me.

But I got a quick fix! Add some beads and stones on the dress, and let's see the difference.

I'll post the pic of it when I'm done putting all the beads and stones on it!


Well, this is what I wore on my fitting session !!

Looking Specially Weird today

Okay, so today I look like this:



That's the new bag I told you earlier in older posts
and that's the shoe!
But is it the dress
or is it the photo angle
or is it me?
that makes me look... kind of short.

The Black Harem Pants...

I'm frustrated with my fashion design studies!!
This institution is giving us so many tasks
(like.. 20 tasks, including making 2 sophisticated dresses)
and they expect the students to finish those big tasks in a week??
and even makes these tasks as exam requirements.

they are totally KIDDING me

Oh, I'll stop whining.

Anyways,, I have this obsession toward these pants.
Beside the fact that they are black,
(I've already had more than 5 pairs o black pants but I'm still carving for more)
they just simply awesome.

these Harem pants...

but,, some of them are a little bit too much,,
I won't recommend these... SERIOUSLY

Ha Ha!

Ha Ha Ha!

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Once Upon A Morning!

There you go,,,
Well, there is nothing too fashiony in this 'short movie'
only a bunch of messed make up tools, clothes, and old posters,
oh, and our high school uniform back then if you consider it as fashion items!

I filmed this with Neila, Adel, Cimplek, and Vivit about 3 years ago when I was in year 12
and done with the editing years after that :D
I'm lazy. I thought you guys know well about it :D

Because this is made when I was younger,,
yea, I mean I was year 12, people
so, i'm showing you how we did it back then,

Please enjoy,,,

Hmmm... I think i should do a story about uniform,,,
