Quick

Made a dress really quickly yesterday for a lovely girl at uni that needed some garment for her photoshoot today. So I made this silver dress that I later will use for my own project. The dress is inspired by a old dress I have from the 40's.
(It's not really finished in this photo.)

2 hours dress

Made a 2 hours (from cutting the fabric to iron the last bit) dress today from a £6 fabric today. No pattern, but I might have to start use it. My friend Jack made me realised that its a bit "strange" not to use one.

Quick project

Small project to keep myself busy before uni really starts. 

My friend Kat is the model for this project and I used old curtains (again) as material. Dyed the fabric in coffee first. Didn't really work but I got an older feeling to it. 

We had the photo shoot at the grave yard in Norwich.

THIS IS NOT FASHION

A film from "This is not Fashion" collection 2006 (My first brand from 2004).
Just got the material back for this after years.


"This is not Fashion" collection has not change much during these 7 years. I didn't want to create a collection that change each season or year. I wanted to make an untouched feeling which you can build on and upgrade without being predictable or boring.


I also try to use as much second hand material as possible for the enviroment and each garment is unique and just for You. I wanted to create a garment that you could use year after year with a pair of H&M trousers without it to be "the last season" or boring and something that you normaly only would wear for that season in style only.


THIS IS NOT FASHION (TINF) is not a fashion brand, its a life style brand.


So it does not matter how tall or short you are, how much money you got on your bank account, what music you listen to, what other brands you normally wear, what you work with, who your friends are, where you live and where you come from, if you're into politic or not, size 6 or 16...we are all different, so should also the clothes we wear be

Little bird

A million years ago

I realised that I have to start work hard on my portfolio. Just one more year at NUCA.

Lace it

Found this top that I made a few years ago. Used old lace that I found at my favorite antique shop in Stockholm, Sweden- "Old touch" .

"A-vintage-beach-summer-look"

Finally finished the sewing for today and I managed to make 2 garments. Been looking at a 1930's or 40's style for tomorrows photo shoot and filming in Sheringham, and I

did create a "vintage beach summer look" in the end.

More sewing and alteration

Keep on working!!

Need to edit the photos but got so much other things to do. But I do looking forward to get everything sorted out. The spring is finally here.
