Portfolio 1, my 1-seam dress assignment which we were to redo our illustrations. my lecturer, Brian said there was a great improvement on my drawing…
medium used is artist colour pencil and blended with water. this is my first attempt using full colour pencil and i applied it using the technique i would with my copic markers.
enjoy…
went to the national library on Wednesday and found this very interesting quote from a book. the book was about ladies wearing trousers since before WWII and the different aspects of it.
in this particular quote, which i found it interesting, it talks about women wearing the crinoline and the danger of wearing it.

after the couture collection, i learned a lot from it. the chosen couture house was Lucien Lelong. a lot of people might not heard it because it has ceased operation for a very long time. the peak of the house was in the 30s. in total, Lelong had running his couture house for 30 years and produced 1200 collections. AMAZING….
Lelong was famous for various things. one was his marriage to Romanov aristocrat Natelie Paley who was almost 20 years his junior. according to his autobiography by Jacqueline Demornex, his invention included luxury pret – a- porter and kineticsim. due to influence by his wife who were also his muse, his aesthetic were minimalist elegance.

Sustainability.
Currently i’m having a class on that said topic. A current hot topic among designers in all disciplinary therefore it spark off critics calling it the latest trend. However, is it really the latest trend? Mother Earth is finishing its resources and it’s getting more and more unhealthy each day due to destruction and pollution to the nature.
therefore how can we make everything back to its original state? Possible? I dunno….hope i am a scientist sometimes.
