desconstruct and Reconstruct (Inspiration Alexander Mcqueen Highlands rape collection 1996)

My first project was based on deconstruct and reconstruct. I had to work on the stand and created designs from used clothes that was brought from charity shops, this gave me a chance to be more creative has ive never actually done anything like that before i normally would make things from scratch. however the importance of this project was to get us to think outside the box, to design garments that we wouldnt normally make; for instance it doesnt have to look like a dress but when it is illustrated you can make it into anything, by adding fastening pockets e.t.c. i enjoyed this project because the outcomes was different to what i would normally make and if i was asked to do this like 2 years ago i wouldnt have been interested because i would say these designs are not my style.

Midlands Young Fashion Designer Award

I entered into the Midland Young fashion Award around June/July and i got into the finalist which was chosen by the designer Gavin Douglas. I was very please with this because it showed that a designer actually liked my style of designs. Yesterdsay was the actually event and i enejoyed every single moment of it the fashion show the experience of getting myself out there for people to know who i am and what my style is.
My style of designs makes loud statements that speaks for itself and that was exactly what i did for the show. I had a lot of people commenting on my designs especially two young girls who wanted to  and the way in wish i was dressed on the night(i customers my outfit for the night)

Last week i had a interview with The Birmingham Mail it was amazing because it was exactly what i needed ( the exposure) the article came out 21st/oct/2011( you can get the backdate copy my calling birmingham mail). I am very please and happy with myself becaus i made it to the final of the competition. so proud of myself.
