I must apologize for my long absence from the blogging scene, life has been a bit chaotic-but I'm figurin it out!!
In personal fashion news, the bridal gown is done and I will start posting pictures of the steps taken in the construction of the gown from corsetry to beading to the disappointing realization that I hated the original concept. Like Rome, wedding gowns aren't built in a day (Unless you are the crazy talented Elda de la Rosa who constructs gowns in the time it takes her children to have an afternoon nap ;) props to the bridal queen of Chicago!!) and I spent a good portion of summer break reworkin the gown and now I love loVE LOVE it!! After finishing up the gown during summer break I had to jump immediately to another design driven project for the new fresh market and cafe at Old Orchard Mall called Wilde & Greene. I just submitted my 3 sketches which I will post when I get back to school and have scanners readily available. We will find out on the 11th or the 13th which look has been chosen and then patterning and draping will begin! I will try and be more diligent on my picture posting this time!
I'm happy to say the school is almost over countdown has started and if all goes as planned I will be a happy graduate in December!!!! Yay!! This means there should be lots of interesting student fashion news to follow this post.
cheers
