Anti-Fur Film

& this is the video we made for our manifesto class. So happy with how it turned out, we worked incredibly hard on it but it was worth all the work and stress in the end :)



For some reason it wasn't cool with me putting the images and film on the same post, very annoying!

Anti-Fur Manifesto

Below is a couple of images from the anti-fur photoshoot we did for our manifesto:




Something Awesome This Way Comes :)

I'm starting to think summer. And next academic year. And final collection. It's all a bit much and the thought of the cost is just insane, I'm hearing people have spent £500, I'm hearing others have spent £1500 just on their final collection. So it's get-job-time.
However, I'm sick of retail. I don't think after working for Louise Gray and ASOS that I could possibly go back to being just a sales girl.
I've got something far more creative planned, but I'm not saying what yet! Still need to do some planning and organising and weighing up of my options...but watch this space :)

Saving The Animals, One Student At A Time...

Yesterday, we started the filming for our Anti Fur film - it was amazing! I didn't realise filming was so much fun, kind of addictive too, once we ran out of interviewees we went looking for more!
After our interviews, we then made a start on our own photoshoot campaign - pictures to come soon! - I've honestly never realised how hard it is to model, you really do have to think about every little detail!

Some footage & pictures will be up soon so watch this space!

I Am A Fox. I Live In A Small Wire Box.

The manifesto film I mentioned earlier is about the fur industry, I've set up a survey about the fur industry...if you could just take a wee minute to fill it in, I would really appreciate it and any feedback would be awesome!

Linkage :)

So Glad That's Over!

I have a pile of work that's roughly the same height as me. A 5ft 3" pile of work. For some reason I thought once we were back from work placement I had 3 things to do - a presentation, one project and help the 3 years with their final collections. Instead there's - a presentation, a diary (to be bound), a report (to be bound), a project, a manifesto project (which has turned into making a film), a dissertation class, PPD, random other classes thrown in for fun, and helping the 3rd years.
It's crazy.
Today was presentation day, mine was about my work placement at ASOS which is an awesome thing to talk about...but to a room full of people? No thanks. Okay, so it was 7 people in the end. This presentation has also caused me to miss the ASOS Press Day which I'm so gutted about as they've been emailing me for a week asking me to come back (it's always nice to feel wanted!) but my timetable is so full.
Anyway - presentations - they always seem so much worse before you do them, then once it's done, there's the adrenaline rush, the sudden boost in confidence and the big question - "why was I so stressed out over that?"

I'm saving this post for the next time I have a presentation and I have a meltdown.

Kissing Bunnies


Kissing Bunnies, originally uploaded by OhSoVeryPicturesque.

My fourth Lookbook post. It's so exciting when somebody hypes or comments me, it's really getting me addicted!

I've started at ASOS, it's so much fun! They have a press day in April (which is like their fashion week!) so things are busy, busy getting ready for that, yesterday I put together the floor plans for the kind of exhibition space they are using.
The most exciting thing I've done so far is design some leggings which (I think!) are being put forward to the buyers - I will definitely be posting a pic if they are selected! What an amazing thing that would be to put on my CV.

Above is my latest look, I got the gorgeous bunny t-shirt from the Christmas Market in Central Park when we were there in December, everything else is just things I've picked up here and there. Gotta love a classic black and white bag to set an outfit off :)
