The beginning of the rest of my life..

So, graduate fashion week is officially over. The long nights spent wrestling with metres of tubular crin and sweating over a boiling bath of dye have finally come to an end! This sounds like it should be a good thing, and I should probably be out celebrating my new-found freedom (I can have a life again)?! but I've found I actually feel the complete opposite. Three years spent throwing myself into something I absolutely love has been incredible, and despite a fair few break-downs over print mistakes and shrunken tubing I can safely say this past year has been incredible! So incredible that the thought of it all being over, having no uni work to do and having to move out of the house I've spent living with my best friends for the past two years is making want to crawl into hole and cry. Buuttt as everyone around me keeps insisting (and what I've also been trying to convince myself), this is just the start and I guess the next few years spent discovering what I want to do with the rest of my life will be pretty damn exciting as well...

It better be.
Anyway, for now I thought I'd share a few more recent images of my work (and a little work in progress)--I'll make another post later this week on my final collection and the gfw catwalk--

Little studio update..

I've kept my promise and have been documenting my research development for the second week- I've started drawing more from my initial research and have begun to narrow it down to just the key pieces that really inspire me. 
I think you can tell by the photos that my colour palette already seems pretty determined, although I've been debating introducing some flashes of brighter colour in there somewhere.
For now though my tutor has just told me to continue playing and not to be afraid to be bold... 

Enjoy for now!..
