My Gaga Friend

A good friend of mine, Belinda Morgan,  whom I studied with designed a "Lady Gag Inspired" range. Here's the outfits. They came out looking beatifully. She made the "cages" with boning and casing and hand sewed everything. She used white raw silk - so everything that has colour (except the black leather) she hand painted after all the outfits were completed...








well done girl!! ur range rocked the show!!

TO CONTACT BELINDA MORGAN.. send an email to belindamorgan2@gmail.com

Fashion Label LOGO

So, I've done a couple of designs for my logo... here's the final one for now. Mite change it soon... The reason I called it "Second Story Designs" is because I grew up in the second story of a building MY WHOLE LIFE! its something personal and i think it also doesn't limit my designs for future (i will be able to work one men's, ladies, kiddies, eveningwear, daywear, swimwear etc). I think it sounds professional? STILL THINKING THOUGH

Range Moodboard

We had to create a moodboard for our Range. My range was all about Fairytales and all things whimsical.. Here's my moodboard

I have been trying to come up with a name for my soon-to-be-launched fashion label. I wanted it to be personal and describe ME as a person but still be catchy. Will post the logo (rough) that i designed very soon

Other than that - here is a little "wishboard" i made on photoshop that ses EVERYTHING about me :)

Hand in Day

This one was for a "sunflower" competitions where we had to design a print for a bandana

This was the Foshini competition I entered


I did this with a friend from tech, it was also for the "Sunflower" bandana design competition and the one below was a college project where we had to design a T-Shirt print (worked with the same girl - Lauren).. she was awesome to work with and i think our work came out AMAZING :)


Today was hand-in-day at tech. We had to hand in our range outfits and all portfolios and patterns... was completely crazy but I am now officially finish with 3rd year!

Here is some more computer work that I had done, the last tech Computer work EVER!!!
