Pure... shit!!

This post is quite late, oh well... 

Tuesday 15th I attended Pure (both spirit at Earls Court and London at Olympia) it was okay… I guess. It was at least interesting to see what people had to show. There was a catwalk show ever so often… I dunno what to say on the subject really… XD there’s some pictures

Will I be going back next year… probably, but only cos it was free!

...Random

I walked all the way from where I live in North London to Brick Lane (apparently one day there is not enough) and walk the way back. I racked up 10 miles on these tender feet. What can I say... I love to walk.

Pure London (fashion trade event) has started today until Tuesday 15th. Are you going?

Street Fashion

Today I was down Brick Lane, doin’ some research for my sketchbook, when this wonderful specimen of fashion fabulous caught my eye. Instinct over took and I asked her to steal a snap shot. I love the patterned trousers and the bandana, however her smile stole the show. 
Hey gwerl!

Additionally I ran into the kind gentleman above who also allowed me to take his picture. Speaking to him, he revealed that he was a recreational poet, and a new comer to the stylings of the kilt (first time he’d wore it out). I Like very much… and now, I want a kilt of my own. J

I have to give a big shout out and THANK YOU to both of my fashion stars for allowing me to take their pictures so willingly. 

G!: Mob Chique

Here it is folks, the skirt I made. Modelled by my good friend Scarlett!!

<3 this pix

Scarlett asked me not to upload the above right picture, where she was doing her hair. But I thought it was so funny and cute, I just had to. Hope she for gives me! XxX

Big shout out to Scarlett for helping me out. A big boo to Shukre for being such a flaky whore, love you though. I think Scarlett did a great job with modeling the hotness out of the skirt and tee. And of course I did an amazing job too! :P

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!!!

Making of: Mods Shirt

This is one of the first garments that I ever made. The other stuff I made was not even worth showing or even mentioning. When starting my fashion studies, in October 2010, I really did not know too much about how to put garments together, but I feel I’m learning fast, thus took the initiative to make a garment all on my own.

I drew up a very simple skirt block, at home, and added the random pleats, for some individual flair. I found some brown fabric at a charity shop. I had a good idea to dye the horrid brown fabric.

Bleached Frabric

The picture above shows the fabric after I bleached it, using your average domestic toilet bleach in my bath. Some of the weave lighten and others didn’t. I wasn’t sure about that look at first but I definitely think it worked when I added the orange. Below, is the picture of the fabric after I had dyed it orange. Sorry I don’t have any pictures of the fabric before bleaching and dying, but trust me, it was pretty ugly.

After sitting in orange fabric dye for 3 hours

Here’s a picture I took and posted back on 25th January of the toile I made of the skirt. I made it the night before. 

Pictures of the making of the skirt…

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!! I love it!! So proud of myself. Half the time, when making the skirt, I did not know what I was doing, but it came out great. 

Fashion Doc.

Here is the documentary filmed my moi (yes, that is my shaky camera work). Everything else by Scarlett!!

Fabulous!!

So what do you think?

I like it RAW!

Friday was a great day, wonderful food; great company, and achieved a goal.

I met Scarlett, to see the finished documentary we filmed a few weeks ago. Also Scarlett was gonna be my model, for a skirt I made. And she did an amazing job! You’ll see the results any day now.  After that we headed off to Yo Sushi, to get my weekly fix of the raw stuff.

Awwh.
