The fashion photoshoot of my finished garments.

i am so pleased with the way the images turned out Photography from Ina Halsor showing off my designs with two beautiful and very diverse models Freya the little blonde girl and Angarahad the Redhead.

Utilising previous external sourcing project.

In order to show off my garments in the best way and being in keeping with the high end market we are aiming at i decided a professional looking fashion shoot was a necessity and utilised a contact i made in the external sourcing project Ina Halsor Photographer she has been very helpful and informative and we have been communicating via email text and facebook bouncing ideas of each other. I would definitely use Ina again in the future and feel that she has her own creative direction however still respects and portrays my own design identity.

The finished garments.

Photo shoot inspiration and ideas for upcoming fashion shoot of my garments- photographer Ina Halsor.

Using inspirations from papier mache and milk magazine me and the photographer Ina were going for a "french eclectic" styling as i felt this style suited my garments. We used the idea of subtle make up from milk magazine to experiment using purple and blue on Freya and subtle orange make up on Angharad - i curled and styled Angharad's hair whilst Ina crimped Freyas again i think styles which individually suited ech model we used a dark brown backdrop and experimented with using bows and pins in the girls hair as well as incorporating a rose.

jersey top and skirt making the final garments.

After a review with Anne and a final think through i decided on a last minute decision of rasberry pink for the jersey top as i felt the use of charcoal,silver , acid yellow, black and rasberry pink would compliment each other well and i feel the tone of both outfits work well together going for the french fashion type feel i wqas going for.

starting on the actual dress garment.

After finalising my pattern pieces it was time to go ahead and start the real thing cutting out the actual fabric scary! I used the black silvery print fabric for the top half which brought out the greeny yellow of the lace collar beautifully the full pleated skirt half was pleated before hand then attatched also using the yellow dyed lace as a trim between the two fabrics.

dying the lace acid flourescent yellow.

After trying several dyes that resulted in a sunflower yellow colour i found this fluorescent yellow fabric paint which took to the fabric really well and finally had the desired acid yellowy-green colour effect i first painted it on to the fabric left it to dry the ironed a piece of cotton over the top of it to set the fabric paint.
