THE STRUCTURED RUNWAY

Now that the holidays are over, I better put my work face on! I know this post is a bit late because I was on a holiday right after this show so I've been a bit busy but here I am. Better late than never right?  If you've been reading my previous blog posts I was asked to be part of 'The Structured Runway' when I went for my interview in Southampton Solent University. I was overwhelmed to be a part of this amazing show and there was no way I could have missed the chance.

You might have noticed that most of the garments are different apart from one.This is because I wanted to add designs that are more structural and of course, which are Architecture inspired.

The fact that all of the other designers were from well known companies like Tk Maxx, Foxy lady, Devernois, Klass designs and other graduated designers like Laura Stockl who is a young and upcoming designer where her above collection was showcased in Graduate Fashion Week 2013 in London made me feel nervous and insecure at the same time however; looking at the positive side it was a huge opportunity for an Art & Design foundation student where I'm a newbie in the world of fashion but I have to admit that I was very pleased with my work.

This is what I wore that day; a little mini black dress on the inside made with Pvc  and using a bright yellow felt fabric I made a coat/ cardigan/bodyscarf  outer wear that covered up my dress; not completely, as you can see the dress from the side ways and styled it with my glitter belt. To complete my look, I wore my ankle boots from River Island and a clutch bag from Primark. 

Overall, the decorations were great and the show was organised very well. In fact, It couldn't have been any better. And there it was, my first fashion show ever.. All I can say is what a fab night it was!
