Can we all take a moment to celebrate just how much you’ve achieved over the last six weeks? 👏 You’ve worked incredibly hard to create portfolio pages that don’t just look professional—they communicate a clear concept, showcase your creative thinking, and demonstrate the journey you’ve taken from research and experimentation through to refined design development. That is something to be proud of! This is exactly what a strong fashion portfolio should do: tell a story, communicate your vision, and show the depth of your creative process. Now it’s time for the next exciting step… ✨ You have two fantastic options: 📖 Continue for another 6 weeks and develop Project 2, building an even stronger portfolio ready for university or industry applications. OR… 🧵 Join the Fashion Fundamentals Programme and take your creativity from paper to garment. If you’ve been thinking about dusting off your sewing machine, this is your sign! You’ll learn the essential technical skills every designer should know, including garment construction, sewing techniques, finishes, and much more. I truly believe the strongest fashion designers understand both the creative and the technical side of fashion. They go hand in hand, and mastering both will elevate your confidence and your opportunities. 📩 If you’d like to secure a place on the Fashion Fundamentals programme, send me a message today to check availability, and I’ll help get you started. Finally, a huge well done to my July Cohort! @Alexa Wright @Rachealle Gunawardena 💛 You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. You’ve grown in confidence, challenged yourselves creatively, and you’re well on your way to producing portfolios that are ready for applications. Now let’s finish strong! I can’t wait to see your final completed submissions before next week’s project 1 deadline. Keep believing in yourselves. Keep showing up. Keep creating. Let’s go! 🚀✨

Hi everyone, kind of a long post and I dad get permission to post. I have a few questions and I need your help. This isn’t just for me, it’s for me to make adaptive clothing for people in need that are affordable. I have condition called gastroparesis, and I am going through some major health changes in my life and I need to make cute and comfortable clothing that are accessible for a feeding tube that will be placed in the upper left of my abdomen, that I need to have 24 hour access to. I first, I am going to alter the usable clothes that I have and second I need to make dresses and shirts that are soft and flowy. Everything that I have looked for is very boxy. Here is 1 example. That’s all I could find on Amazon and google. Questions 1. what fabrics would you suggest I use that are easy to work with? 2. What style of dresses and shirts would you recommend? 3. Should I make 2 piece outfits as well? I appreciate any and all comments and advice given. Please and thank you

This is the moment where all of your hard work starts to come together! Over the last few weeks you’ve explored, experimented, draped, collaged, sampled textiles, created mark making, and pushed your creativity. Now it’s time to transform those ideas into your initial fashion designs. Don’t forget… your experiments shouldn’t stay in your sketchbook! They should inspire your garments and clearly show the journey from 2D experimentation to 3D design development. Every texture, fold, line, shape and technique you’ve explored should influence your collection. ✏️ Start sketching… and keep sketching! The more designs you create, the stronger your drawing skills will become, the more confident you’ll feel, and the easier it will be to develop exciting ideas. Don’t settle on your first design—challenge yourself to create multiple variations. Sometimes your best idea is sketch number 10, not sketch number 1! ✨ Remember: ✔ Use your experimentation to inspire your designs. ✔ Show clear development from concept to garment. ✔ Create plenty of variations. ✔ Edit down to your strongest collection. ✔ Keep refining and improving. 📩 Once you’ve created your initial sketches, send them through for review. Together we’ll select the strongest designs and build a powerful, professional final line-up. This is where your collection starts to take shape… and I can’t wait to see your creativity shine. Let’s go, Elites! 🚀🔥

Hi everyone, here is one version of this finished look. I had to redo my floral corset top and this is how it came out. I am so in love with it. This is the skirt that I will be wearing with the corset. I love this whole outfit, what do you think? Should I do pants as well? Should I do a short hoop shirt or tulle skirt underneath?
