My first ever collection - Candyland.

So, this is my final sketch of my collection for my grad show. This is what I've been busying on these months. 

I titled it 'Candyland'. It's sweet like princess and fairy tale but also dull like the reality. If the life is hard and dark, then discover the bittersweet of it. There must be something. 

We had good show last weekend. I'm blessed that I won the gold award for the small competition held by my school. I am honored that people love this. Anyway, there will be rematch and final on coming weekend. I don't hope for anything but do hope that things go smoothly and no mistake made. That's all. Thank you God for everything, for my parents loving me, for my man be there with me, for my friends supporting me, for my inspiration, for everything. 

Well, pictures of the show will be posted after I settle with the coming show.

These days I have been busying picking inspiration from everywhere (the magazines, the websites and blogs, watching the documentary about the famous designers... etc. etc.) for my grad collection. Well, as mentioned in earlier post, I have decided to do a collection with the fairy tale theme. I always love dreamy princess look crossover a little bit of playful weird creepy dark and geek feeling (I think Meadham Kirchhoff does the best so far for these), and at the same time I also love minimalism and classic look. So, I am a greedy bitch. Whatever, who doesn't? 

Anyway. 

This post is just a record for myself as to what I have done these days. 

So, I love the Valentino's Cinderella-ish 'glass slippers' as shown above. 

Then, we celebrated my man's birthday.

Yummy chocolate banana cake. 

I do think the gold party hats look quite fashionable. 

Yea, he had many birthday cakes for this month. 

Then, I did some draft for fashion class. We need to create 2 looks with 8 inspirations (any kind of inspiration, from film to music to famous designers to fashion icon to a book, or an incident, or ... actually really just any kind of inspiration). Then, because I totally forgot about this task until the day of the class, so I picked Audrey Hepburn, Chanel, Balenciaga, Breakfast at Tiffany's, LBD, white shirt, Jil Sander maybe? Actually I don't know.. I just try to imagine Audrey in a rather boyish modern look.

This draft look so rough.. with all the dirty patches. Yicks. 

Anyway, I guess I took them pretty literally. Whatever. Last minute look, what do I expect, right? 

And I am sewing a skirt now, right now (yes, I am typing this post by escaping from sewing the hemming of a skirt, it's not very fun to sew the hemming especially when you've a huge wavy round skirt.)

Back to sewing.
