Sheer Exuberance Trend Book...




































A/W 14 Knitted Alpaca Collection Photo Shoot...









Organic and Handcrafted A/W 14 project...

For this project I had to choose 2 sustainable things to work around in order to create something for my Autumn/Winter 14 project.


These are my two mood boards to show organic and handicraft.


I have decided to look at knitwear as its for Autumn/Winter, and also because I could use organic materials and use handicraft skills to hand knit.


These are some of my hand knitting samples using 100% sheep wool and 100% cotton.


For more knitwear inspiration I used the knitwear trend forecast  on WGSN.

Fashion And Branding Project...



Inspiration to start my sketchbook...


The brand I had chosen was All Saints. I chose this brand as I sometimes shop at All Saints so I can relate to the brand, its customers and what its about. I love All Saints as its very quirky and unique. I then went to the All Saints shop in Leeds to do my shop report.



As my collection for this project is an autumn/winter collection I have decided to look into knitwear as All Saints have a massive knitwear range in autumn/winter.
