Fashion and Textiles Museum London

Yesterday I visited the Fashion and Textiles museum in London, for my college course. The museum is the only UK museum solely dedicated to showcasing developments in contemporary fashion also providing inspiration, support and training to those working in the fashion industry. The building is founded by Zandra Rhodes an iconic British Designer in 2003. Who I have researched in my coursework.
The museum had a variety of clothing pieces people would have worn through the 1930s during the day and night time. I really loved who detailed the pieces were and how some of the evening gowns I recognized from similar pieces worn today.

Late Christmas project

Happy new year! Sorry but I forgot to post a project that I had been working on before Christmas and the new year. So thought I'd post it now, better late than never. This Christmas jumper/top has been created using a black long sleeve top, different festive themed fabric cotton fat quarters. Finally with a variety of different ribbons and threads to finish the garment off. I think it looks really neat and has been quite successful, leave your feedback down in the comments :)

Paper garment inspired by Susan Cutts

Finishing with the same paper roses over the top to cover the waistband.
