Richard James AW16
Some of the Looks pre-show
Much like I did at University doing Costume Making, it is important to document every stage of putting together a creative realisation: AW16 Fashion Show. I learnt that this is very important in a fashion house to document EVERYTHING just in case the stylist changes ideas last minute.Â
Internship at Richard James, Savile Row
This week I am finishing my Internship at Richard James, Savile Row as their studio and design assistant. These images are from backstage at the AW16 LCM Fashion Show at Satoria Bar Ristorante, where I was a backstage dresser.Â

Tie Dying for Bestival 2015
Thought Iâd give tie dying a go to prepare for Bestivalâs âSummer of Loveâ theme this year. I was very happy with how they turned out!Â
It turns out tie dying is completely addictive and quite a beautiful process. Each piece turns out unique to the next you can create so many mesmerising swirling patterns.Â
Career Update
I am currently on a work placement at Richard James, Savile Row doing archiving, production, design work & styling leading towards their Menâs Collection show after Christmas. The occasional making task puts me back in my comfort zone but I am working on some very exciting projects for RJ and am gaining so much experience in a new working environment.Â
Coming up are some small creative bits I have been doing alongside working at RJ and also some experimenting I did in Summer 2015. Â

The Glass Slipper: Finished Garment
Here are some photos from filming and my own images after the dress was finished. Toile, two fittings, lots of decoration and three and a half weeks later, the dress was ready for filming!Â
The Glass Slipper: Construction
Some images from pattern drafting to decoration: Some fabulous teamwork with Ylana!Â
The Glass Slipper
This was my final University project and a piece I am very proud of. I teamed up with another AUB maker Ylana Lovell. The dress we made was an 18th Century Ballgown for Cinderellaâs Stepmother. This is the design by Fiona Rigler and the film was âThe Glass Slipperâ directed by Mark Sephton.
Red & Black: my favourite combination!
Metalmorphosis
The piece is copper in colour: which represents âCuâ the metallic element that is malleable to touch. The Multiple surfaces within the piece capture copperâs ability to be manipulated and show that it is product of metamorphosis, or in this case âMetalmorphosis.âÂ
This garment has been shortlisted for the World of Wearble Arts Awards 2015 and has now been sent over to Nelson, New Zealand for another round of judging.Â
âMetalmorphosisâ
Spreading metres and metres of copper lame across the studio, prepping it to be sent off for pleating.Â
Spot welding the architectural crinoline together: using crinoline steel.
Fitting for the under-bust corset: choosing the shape and marking with pins.
Drafting the bodice on the stand over the under-bust corset.
Bodice/crop top and layer one of the pleated skirt coming together.
Applying the panels to the yoke over the bodice/crop top.
Button hole stitching around the corset eyelets for a unique finish with metallic copper thread.
Textiles/Fabric Manipulation âMetalmorphosisâ
Here are a series of close ups of fabric manipulation techniques I used throughout the piece.
Two of my favourite fabric manipulation techniques are pleating and smocking. Here are close ups of the copper lame fabric and silk I used to represent the metal âcopperâ to show the malleable properties of the metallic compound.Â
âSneak Previewâ
For my final Major Project at the Arts University Bournemouth I entered The World of Wearable Arts Awards 2015 in New Zealand. The next few posts are going to be construction shots, pattern drafting, processes, as well as the professional photographs of my piece âMetalmorphosisâ for the Avant Garde Section of the âWOWâ awards 2015

Draped Garments: A Christmas Carol
 I made three aprons and two skirts for the show, all of which were created by draping on the stand, applying plackets and waistbands and then needed breaking down for characterisation purposes.

For my most recent project I was a costume maker for The Dorset Corset Theatre Company's: A Christmas Carol, adapted by Helen Watts.Â
