UTS DESIGN 2010

On Wednesday night, the 8th of December, the 2010 graduate fourth year class at UTS debuted their collections on the catwalk.

After four years of intense hard work, tears, tantrums, blood, sweat, thai noodles, mexican, and an addiction to coca-cola the time had come to relax, de-stress and show the rest of the world what we had been working on!

Below are some backstage snaps, enjoy!

'BIONIC BEAUTY'

Spring/Summer 2010/11

Lookbook photographs.

Model: Vanessa

Photographer: Rhiannon

Styling and Clothing: ME!



While waiting to do my catalogue/editorial shoot this Thursday I took the time to do a catalogue shoot with the very lovely Vanessa! It was so good to see the collection together and photographed and was the first time I was really happy with what I had produced!
Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do!!

and it is officially over...

After four long years of travel, study, tears, tantrums, laughs, disasters, sewing injuries and all round crazy times, the journey has finally come to an end.

I'm still unsure as to how I feel, happy, sad, overwhelmed, excited, nervous? I don't know. It hasn't really sunk in yet that I won't be going back to uni, I won't be seeing all the amazing friends I have made every day and I will no longer be spending countless weekends, days and nights doing uni work!

I'm finally doing my look book and catalogue shoot for my collection next week and I can hardly wait to get some really good images of my final work. I guess it will put everything I have been working for into perspective and hopefully make me really proud of what I have achieved!

In the mean time I have a sample of the collection all together and finished. It is not yet accessorised in the way I want it but you can get the idea of how the collection works!
Enjoy!

Almost at the finish line.

After a whole years worth of work the end is finally in sight. It is a scary yet riveting feeling having your creations finally come to life after so much hard work, happy days, sad days, tears and tantrums, botched dye and print jobs, bad toilles and patterns.

I am so happy to say that I made it through four years of hard work, sweat, tears, laughter and horrible train travel but it will be sad to see it gone.

My graduate collection - 'BIONIC BEAUTY' is almost complete and as it has not turned out exactly how I imagined it would I think in the end I will still be happy with the work I have produced. I am expecting a few more hurdles before the week is out but hopefully it will all come together at the very last minute.

Below is an sneak preview of one of the looks from my collection, the collection is made from heavy cotton denim with printed jersey bodysuits worn under each look to create a skin like feeling.

Enjoy....

A few weeks ago aspiring fashion photographer, Kent Marcus collaborated with my label - Marg & Jean to create some amazing fashion photographs. Above is a sample of the kind of genius work Kent can create and a sneak peek into the shoot!

Just quietly, I have to admit, I am in love. It is a fantastic shot!

Good work to everyone involved!
