Our homework for last week was to design 5 looks ~inspired~ by Miu Miu Spring 2009.

1 problem: I was totally uninspired by my LEAST favourite Miu Miu collection to date.

Observe...

This printed dress is the only cute thing I swear

the fruits of my labour

This is my 200th post! And it's a special, celebratory post. This is regarding the reason posting has been kind of slow this past few weeks: SCHOOL HOMEWORK PROJECTS FINISHING THE FIRST SEMESTER OF FASHION SCHOOL. Before I started, I had no experience with drawing/painting at ALL. I drew people with heads that were 1/4 of their bodies (in case you can't tell, like I couldn't, that's very WRONG and disproportionate...) I honestly sucked and had no confidence in my abilities but with the help of an amazingly talented illustration teacher, my drawing/painting is on the up and up! I learned so much in just the first week with her. You can't teach talent (and I don't think I have the "it" factor when it comes to drawing) but you can teach skills. So here are some pictures of my final projects for Costume History and Illustration classes. I AM SO RELIEVED I'M FINISHED MY FIRST SEMESTER YOU HAVE NO IDEA. Click to enlarge these bad boyz

Costume History: We had to design two looks inspired by three different historical periods. I chose Early Europe (medieval), Greek and Rococo (18th Century, think Marie Antoinette). See above for some pictures of the influences. These were done with marker.


Illustration: We had to design a collection of 5 swimsuits based on one of two themes that we chose in class. It was between "Nautical" and "Vegas". I had to pick the two themes because nobody in my class is decisive. I did Vegas. These were with watercolour.

(I love this bitch, she's my fave)

(I don't like this girl's face...)

Costume History (again): Design two looks based on the Empire period (think empire waists, floaty sheer fabric)


anyways, I'm pretty proud with how it all turned out despite having to pull some late nights and stuff. I can't wait to get better and start to develop my own style of fash illustration.

please 2 b giving me luv

HI HI HI HI HI HI

Yesterday was a really good day of the trip, my dad and I got up early and took the skytrain downtown to Granville street! We went in Holt Renfrew and I saw the most beautiful Miu Miu bags :'(
My dad wants to get a bigger murse and he was scoping out the Gucci and I was like "Dad plz, do you know how much those cost? You can't even afford to look at Gucci with your eyes."
THEN we went to my school (or soon to be in the fall) for a TOUR. And can I just say I'm so excited? Can I? Look at this sweet set up on one of the floors of the school (plus, it's a block away from H&M...HELLO)

Check it


Safe to say I'm really looking forward to it.

Then we went and got some lunch and my dad set me free to go to Urban Outfitters and H&M. I had a really nerdy photoshoot (or the taking of 1 picture) in the Urban Outfitters dressing room to show Andrew the shirt I bought for him. EVERYTHING WAS LIKE $10!



SORRY BUT I WORE A DRESS THAT DAY AND DIDN'T HAVE PANTS.
