A little trip down memory lane...

Last year we had to design our very own magazine! My mag - Raw Sugar - covered fashion as well as photography. I felt like posting my favourite photos from the photo shoot we had to do. I photographed one of my best friends Michelle Viljoen who graduated from AAA last year and is now a Cape Town based graphic designer and photographer. Be sure to check out her blog --- http://papercitylife.blogspot.com  :)

Michelle and I had a great time photographing and posing! We traveled to different locations in Cape Town such as Signal Hill, Sea Point and Camps bay. Check.it.out :

I bought a new camera yesterday so when I have time I will definitely organize another photo shoot and if that's not going to happen any time soon, random photos will be posted.. :)

Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?

Romeo and Juliet (1996) is an awesome film! Extremely romantic.. and the SOUNDTRACK is perfect. Seeing that this film as well as the soundtrack, played a part in inspiring me to create my designs for my collection, I will give you a little glimpse of the scene I adore most but I highly recommend that you watch the whole film for it will make you want to fall in love. yes, it is THAT amazing.

Background music: 

Kissing you by Des'ree

Romeo and Juliet (1996) 

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes

Tomorrow I will start assembling my storyboards (while snacking on mini doughnuts of course seeing that my mum bought me a little mini doughnut maker! It even comes with a recipe, seriously, how cute?)... Oh my sarah jessica parker. I hope and pray they will be beautiful. With that being said, may I ask that when praying, you would "gooi" a little prayer in there for us FEDISA third years, that would be rather kind :)

Well, I'm off! 

Later alligators

Hide and Seek

The first two years of my BA fashion design degree course at FEDISA went by really quickly! At the end of every year FEDISA hosts a Graduate Collection Show to show the public, our friends and families what us crazy creatures have been up to and what we are capable of. 

The first, second and third years each receive separate themes for these shows. In my first year in 2009 our theme was Red Rising and in my second year last year our theme was Tribute to McQueen (in honour of British fashion designer, Alexander McQueen who passed away on the 11th of February 2010). 

My garment for "Red Rising" and my one garment for "Tribute to McQueen" as well as my corseted dress for the J&B Met fashion show at Cavendish are all displayed below. At the end of our last module last year we had to design and sew a corseted dress, which was entered into the J&B Met- Larger than Life Cavendish fashion show and then if you were one of the finalists, your dress was then entered into the J&B Met Competition.
