Few Recent Designs

Eveningwear for the older lady


Since graduating

I have got myself a wonderful new job working for Van Mildert which is a north east based company also owning Tucci and Aston as well as managing Cruise.
I feel like I am learning so much more in this job and there is room to grow and progress.
Especially working with designer labels!

I did persue for a Vivienne Westwood placement in London for 3 months which I couldnt persue unfortunately for personal reasons.

I emailed every single manufacturing/design company based in the North East (that I could obtain email addresses for) and got nothing back except for one woman who wanted me to design eveningwear for her. Unfortunately I would of had to manufacture as well as design which is something I cant do due to lack of equipment, time and help.

Fashion Show

Bit delayed due to commitments and loosing all of my backed up work but nevermind........
My end of year Final Fashion Show was a huge success. Even though some issues did arrise with regards to models, hair makeup etc everything went according to plan. I thought the venue was a bit small and the music slightly annoying and repetitive in places I was so proud to see my eveningwear and final major collection hit the cat walk. My eveningwear was equestrian themed (slightly out of season but an elegant winner!) and my beachwear was patchwork themed. I concentrated on making it key on trend for the summer using sea blue and tangerine orange. The fabric I used was a patchwork silk expensive but gorgeous! So thats it……. An end of an era…… Bring on the next one!
