CYRK: Transience in Bloom - Week 10

 Today we met with the photography students and began our collaboration. Some of my photographer’s projects can be seen in the image above. They like darker and moodier photoshoots, and that is exactly what I’m going for.

Below are some images that I shared with Will as references for our upcoming shoot.

Red Pink: Week 10

Ensemble 2, the overalls and matching shirt are done and ready to walk in the show tomorrow! I love how they turned out. The tartan green featherwale corduroy and "Strawberry Thief" lawn sewed up really nicely and were really easy to work with. And just a refresher, ensemble 1 is the corduroy and plaid dress and is also walking in the show. I can't wait to see these two looks in motion on the runway. 

I also met with my photographer Victor today, and he had a lot of great ideas for where we could shoot on location. Can't wait to get started on that!

Next on the agenda is getting ensemble 3 patterned and prototyped.

VIER: week 10

 Met with the photography students today and explained our collections. I was paired with Hanna S. and I am very excited to work with her. I am familiar with her work and I think that her style matches what I'm thinking for the shoot.

Nicole: Week Ten

 Hello!

This week I started working on my third ensemble for my collection. I finished the mock up and realized rather than making it a dress I am going to make it a top and skirt, in order to get it to lay better. I also ran into an issue where the fabric I was going to use is no longer made so I pivoted and found a yellow fabric similar to the type of fabric I wanted it to be and that was close to the stripped grey and yellow fabric I already had. I look forward to continuing working on this look!

Thanks!

week 9

 Week 9 

This week I finished my second ensemble! I had to make some big changes from the original drawing and then mock up. My fabric was not going to come in time for me to make my final pattern so, I had to make a Field's Fabric run and buy fabric that is close to what I ordered. Well…. What I found was not the original plan, but it opened so many ideas in my mind on ways to modify and elevate my collection! 

Here is my mock up 

Here is my final. She needs to be pressed. 

Week 10 Final mock ups/Fitting

As I got my model's final measurements, she looked absolutely stunning in the mock-up #5, as it fit her perfectly, and I'm so excited to get the final garment all put together for the show!

 We went to the photo studio, where I got some professional photos of her in the mock-up, as she wants to start modeling, so I'm helping her make her comp cards to start her modeling career.

I then asked Derek if he could try my #2 mock-up for my capstone collection, and it fit him great. I'm so excited for him to model this piece for the show.

Week #9 Ferris Fashion Show garments #5 / Spring break Project Runway

 Before spring break started, I decided to start mt fourth mockup garment. As i though of ways to draft this pattern and draping it was the way to go, as it's one of may favorites ways of drafting my patterns! This is the fifth garment that I'll be adding to my capstone collection.

We went to California for spring break, giving me lots of inspiration for my future collections, as it was my first time in Cali and I had an absolutely great time. 

I went shopping in Palm Desert and met a few wonderful people, and there were beautiful stores. I got to meet someone who was part of project runway season 9 and 12 and is willing to work together in the future, which I'm excited about.
