Graduate Fashion Week Awards 2013!

Graduate Fashion Week is the world's leading event for fashion graduates, a chance for fashion graduates to come together and showcase their work! I am so excited to be able to attend this event with my university (Birmingham City Uni) and along with my fashion retail friends. This event takes place on Sunday 2nd June - Wednesday 5th June.

As I was so excited to be able to showcase my work on an exhibition, imagine how excited I was when I was nominated by my university lectures to enter into the 'Barclay's New Business Idea Award'! It was such a great feeling to know my hard work has payed off, although I was completely surprised! 

In order to be shortlisted I had to produce a 10 page synopsis - summarising my business concept and justifying the need for this business. The winner will receive an amazing £750, 2 tickets to the GFW Gala & Awards Show - as well as the After Show Party! W.O.W.

This really is a fantastic opportunity and I am very proud to have been entered into this competition! Wish me luck!!

Rihanna Lipstick for Mac sells out in 3 hours!

Throughout this year I have been writing my dissertation on the influence that celebrities have on the general public and the impact fashion has when seen on TV. So I am always interested in seeing how garments & accessories can sell out in just hours after being worn or endorsed by a celebrity. It is no surprise that Rihanna's new lipstick for Mac sold out just three hours after going on sale for the first time. The power of social media really can have an influence and this is proven as Rihanna told her Twitter followers that the deep red lipstick was available to buy and then shortly afterwards tweeted #SOLDOUT! 

Coachella Festival 2013

Coachella is one of the most biggest music festivals, bombarded with A-Lister celebs! It goes without saying that I am so jealous of the celebrities who jetted off the to Palm Springs for one of the most (lets face it) stylish festivals! Spring/Summer trends have now dominated all the high street stores, and I know that I will be taking fashion inspiration from this festival! Celebs such as Alexa Chung, Kate Bosworth, Rita Ora, Whitney Port, Solangne Knowles and Alessandra Ambrosio attended the high profile event and I have posted underneath the chic outfits they wore!

Kate Bosworth looks pretty in Topshop. 

Rita Ora looks amazing in Carrera by Safilo sunglasses.

Dissertation

Time is flying by and I am now at the final part of my fashion course!

This year has been a tough one, but I can secretly admit that the hard work definitely pays off in the end.

For my dissertation, I had to come up with a fictitious business that would succeed in the current market! After a few frustrating weeks of brainstorming different ideas, an idea finally came to me!

I decided to create a company that supplies clothing to TV production companies, sourced from a variety of retailers – and formed the name TV Wardrobe.

Over the past 3 months I have actually enjoyed creating this pretend business, and now the dissertation is printed (phew – such as relief) I now have to create a portfolio of creative elements in order to communicate the brand.  I have been using the software InDesign to create a website, social media marketing and two sales booklets (one for the retailers, and one for the production companies).

Underneath shows a few images from my booklet.

Style Diary

Millie Mackintosh is quickly becoming a major style icon! 

Not only is she a reality star on the hit show Made In Chelsea, but she is also a make-up artist, model and now has her own style blog! This blog is perfect for people like me, who loves everything Millie wears - but never knows where her gorgeous clothes are from!

I am in awe of the way Millie mixes high street and high end fashion together!

All the pictures that are posted show the MIC beauty walking around Chelsea and posing for stunning images.

Underneath shows Millie wearing a black playsuit from Warehouse, a pretty lace cream shirt from Sandro (which can be found in Selfridges), and a gorgeous striking bag - which shocked me is from Accessories. This outfit is bang in trend!

Millie is showing the world that high street fashion is stylish, affordable and trendy! 

Now we can all steal her wardrobe!

Louis Vuitton - Tom Craig

Louis Vuitton, one of the world's leading international fashion houses, has revealed it will host an exhibition of Tom Craig and Bay Garnett's most iconic images in association with the Vogue Festival.  Tom Craig is an amazing British photographer who has shot multiple images for Vogue. I always take inspiration from him and love opening up Vogue to see the stunning images that he has captured! 

 The exhibition, called All Four Corners, will showcase a collection of beautiful photographs taken for Vogue, starring a mixture of actresses and models - including Rachel Weisz and Stella Tennant. 

The festival will take place from April 27th-28th at London's Southbank Centre.

Victoria Beckham, Alexa Chung, Michael Kors and Christopher Kane will all appear at the event, making it a festival NOT to be missed!

Here are a few images of the Lily Donaldson photoshoot by Tom Craig, which appeared in Vogue UK on October 2011.  

The photographs that I have posted below are so effortless and beautiful! The scenery looks very English, and almost has a retro feel - like it was set in the 50's.  A feeling of bygone days. The model adds to the feeling of natural beauty, and gives a feel of simple times! 

I am sure you will agree that all the images are stunning!
