Mirage Chaud

So this is what I'm going to sew together today. I'm also gonna hit the city and do some Africa research. The inspiration is Africa and the desert and safari stuff

I have a name in consideration for the collection and it's Mirage Chaud, but haven't decided yet.

Also join my group on Facebook to look at the pictures from the Photoshoot.

Woop Woop

Had a photoshoot with my sister yesterday, she took the photos. We took photos of everything I've sewn since I started school in August. This photo was the best one, all of the photos will be up on facebook in a few days. Im made this dress for my sis and gave it to her at Christmas.

Alors en danse

The Shirt I did for my Men's Collection.

Came back from Belrin on Monday. I hade a wonderful weekend meeting loads of fun inspireing people. Didn't do so much stuff just walked around enjoying my company and the spring which had arrived in Berlin.

Went straight to school afterwards and had my presentation for the men's collection. Got a pair of tips of progress so now when I'm strating up my last school project I want to do it all superduperannalicious so that it will be the best ever.

Also had some meetings regarding a exhibition our class will have. Come to Form/Design Center in week 15 and see the Recycled project we had this Fall :D.

Otherwise it's not much new going on. Have started my final collection but it's just at the sketch fase. HAve starting very little on doing some toaille pieces.



But now I'm heading in to the City for some Springshopping, hopefully I'll find some shoes ;) And then alors danse die ganze nacht ;)

Thursday Tea

I have had a couple of very busy weeks behinde me. But I can then tell you that my silver sweaters are finished. They are like the one above. And my shirt for my Mens collection is finished. The collection will be presented in school on Monday then some pictures will come up here too.

My class will also have an exhibition at Form/Deisgn Center in week 15, so today I were on a meeting regarding that and the Fashion Event my class will have there on the 28th of may.

These latest days in school we have had a visit from the University and they have had a workshop with us. Where we were to think of a Man 20 years forward, how will he live, eat, what will he wear, are there more varieties in his way to dress? It wasn't so easy to think of this scenario and the build a world around it and do some sketches. I'll present it tomorrow, hopefully it will be fun and inspiring to see how the others in the class thought.

I have also found a studio an a photography where I can take some nice pictures of my clothes. So I can start build up a real portfolio.

So I'm very exciting over that and I'm exciting over that I'm going to Berlin this weekend. It will be a nice relaxing stop and hopefully filled with inspiration so I won't forget my Camera ;).

Slutet på den produktiva helgen.

This weekend has been really productive from my point of view. I've made the illustrations for the Men's collection, I've cut out all the pieces for the shirt I'm making for the collection and I've been working on a little project which will take Annalicious one step further.

When I'm finished with the shirt it will be able to purchase at Tjallamalla in Malmö :D.

Tonight I'll start with some garment sketches and tomorrow will be a day of Fashion History, baking carrot cakes and danceing some Zumba ;).

My crazy-fun-day

We wen't on a little field trip todya in school. First we met up with the Malmö based designer Katarina Zablocki at her studio. And it was so inspiring and fun to hear her story and tips conserning this bransch. She won the Show Up Fashion Awards in October and has afterthat launched a new label that is produced with help and for Nelly.com. Everything for that collections was so superlicious, I have to have the onearmed dress and the coralblouse with drapeings on the back.

After the visit at her, we took off for our old teachers new workingplace at the Theatre. That was also a lot of fun, seeing how they work there. And we got down in the basement and took a peek in their closet, and we found some really good pieces, like an old Balmain suit.

The day ended at our mentors office where we got to see how she works and how her store looks like. I found a really nice fabric, hand printed in senegal which would fit perfectly to my next collection. The only thing was that it had a black ground and it maybe would fit better with a beige ground. But my main inspiration is Africa, and when I could work with an african fabric that would be great. So I'll have to think about it.

Det tog sitt lilla tag ...

I'm not that good at keeping the posts coming, but finally here's my Collection Fall for me that I presented in school in December. We are working on a Men collection in school right now, so that's the next project that will be seen here.

Take Care X

My Feelings for you

Swedish Hasbeen and H&M have met up in a collaboration which will come in stores this spring the 20th of April. I love these shoes. I have to get them for my summer parties.

I had the best night out yesterday at on The Boat, so the shoes will come in handy when I hit the floor there this summer.

Ps. Don't forget to get the Copenhagen Fashion festival app for your iPhone, so you'll get feeds for all the events and shows when you're flaggar rundt.

Back to School

Yesterday my Springsemster started in School. We kicked it off with loads of new assignments and projects. All the books are for inspiration for a Collection so now I just have to make it work. I've chosen one of the books to get inspired form. You'll see the resaults later on.

I'm already feeling stressed with tousands of things to do. So tonight I'm just gonna relax and watch a Valentino documentation. ( I have to se the YSL movie too I know a bit late :S)

With the second week of the year everybody seams to start working again. And it really is seen in the Fashion world. Elin Kling and HM had a pressrelease regarding a collection she made for them. And it was announced today that Cos will be opening their first shop in Sweden. And we have longed for it for soooo long time, beeing a daughter company of HM which is Swedish you would have thought it would be one of the first countries to be launched in.

Copenhagen Fashion Week has also released the schedule of the Week and it will be so much fun :D.

XOXO my Telletubbies

Happy New Years

This is what I wore on New Years, the dress really turned out great. And I had an amezing time celebrating with some really close friends of mine.

The School starts on Monday so will be fun with new assignments but at the same time I just want to move forward with my life, now that I know what I want to start study next fall.

For those who don't know, am I aiming for the Bachelor of Science in Textile Technology at Borås in Sweden. So more Fashion to come. And I'm also working on something to take my Fashion interest and Annalicious one step forward. So these are my main goals for 2011 and to get a part time job at a store etc, just to get another foot into Fashion.

Inspiration for the Spring really love this video, take me to the summer now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poppin bottles at the crib

Hadn't have that much to do in school today just made a few prepartaions for tomorrow XX. I'll post everything on Thursday regarding tomorrow.

So today I did a quick and little collection just for fun. The original inspiration was my new years dress which I finished yesterday so thought it might be fun extending it to a collection. Also I need to practice drawing and just do something quick. So I'm really pleased with the result. My eyes and hands which has been my latest diffuculties, are getting better and better. I can also see a big change in my sketches from tho ones i used to do, and these are so much better. I'm also getting my own style and today it was easier just sketching up a body in five min. with this result.

The one in the lower right corner is the dress for new years.

Jag flaggar runt med Dagmar

Yesterday evening the swedish brand Dagmar held a little presentation of the Pre Spring 11 at a store here in Malmö. I went with some friends and it was really fun. It wasn't soooo many people as last time I were at this Store Spirit so we stopped and talked to a women wokring on the sales department at Dagmar. She told us everything about the new collection but also how it is to work at Dagmar and the business in generell. We told her about our presentation next week so she gave us some useful tips which I'll be using.

I Also got this beautiful bag and the houses on the front is houses from Argentina which is the location for the Spring inspiration. And about Argentina Vargas will be receving the nobelprice and I really want to read something from Vargas during the break. I really like the litterature from South America so I hope it will give me some inspiration beause it's all dead for me now.

Tomorrow will hopefully also give me some inspiration because I'm going on a field trip to Copenhagen and will be meeting some desginers and go to some artthings ;)

The Pre-work

Here's the moodboard and sketch I did for the Recycled dress. I hope you can see the connection and that the sketch agree to the real dress.

Papparazzi

I spend yesterday in a photostudio and having pictures taken of the dress I've made for a Recycle projekt at school. This is the result and I'm very pleased with it ;).

And thank you Felicia for beeing a wonderful model :).

Twinkle Twinkle Little star

Look what I've bought today, a lovely fabric which will turn into a dress that I'm gonna wear at the last day of this year ^^ also found the shoes on a sale and they will be perfect to party in the new year in and for all the parties to come next year ;).

Otherwise I had a lovely day meeting an old friend and drinking hot chocolate and walking in the snow. Tomorrow will be an fun and instructive day when I'm to attend my first photoshoot :D.

Wish me luck and I'll post something fun tomorrow.

XOXO

In the lane snow is glistening

Oh I want to go to Austria and Skii right now!!!

The first snow has come to Malmö and it's quite a lot too, so took a walk with my dog in the park and it was so peaceful white the lights in the dark and the snow.

In school I've just been making garment sketches so now I have a some start moduls for further sketches to come. I'll be useing them tomorrow when I'm gonna do all the garment sketches for the Fall for me collection.

I've also been a little tired while I went with some friends from school to the opening event for the New Marimekko store got a beutiful garmentbag which I love. I'm always walkking around with those bags.

It's not been that busy anymore in my life and that is quite nice, so I can focus on school and my training and the most important my friends. Because of that I don't feel so stressed out over the ongoing collection.

I went to the garment stor the other day and bought the last piece of fabric to which will turn into a pair of jeans in the following week. I also found a lovely fabric that I want to make a dress of and wear for New Years.

Well that's all for now ;).

Je t'aime moi non plus

Just came back from a discussion session about sustainable fashion at Form/design center. It was really intressting talking about what sustainable fashion really is and how we shall impact ourselves for a better cause for the environment. It was also people from different generation and interssting to hear how the different generation approach and their views upon the subject.

I also just finished my mood board for the Fall for me Collection. The startpoint from me was paris and I wanted to do something connecting the typical type of Fashion with this romantic side with delicious food and cultures heritage with this new underground Paris and more rough urban side. Of course tecktonik beeing a big inspiration for this side. The name of the collection is a little word game. Being a Autumn/ Winter collection "Fall" seams very relevant but also the hole name "Fall for Me" because the first thing I think of when I hear Paris is the city of Love.

Fall for me Collection

This is a blouse for the "Fall for Me" winter collection, just a little teaser. Look what I have sewn to the neck. Like it^^
