How exciting is this though. The atmosphere must of been immense!! How I would of loved to been in that crowd. Even better how i would loved to of  been back stage, seeing all the commosion going on. Absolutly amazing!!  I love the fact that coco chanel is still being celebrated today. I mean imagine a life with out coco 'Gabrielle' chanel, we'd probably still be wearing corsets and unnessesary clothing. And a massive round of applause for the amazing Karl lagerfeld. appreciated world wide, I would love to meet him one day and ask for any tips he has to offer me. ;)

Branding project

I have been given A project for branding, so far I have really embraced and enjoyed it. I am expected to work in a group and come up with our own brand, we have to have a name, and logo for it. The group had debates and brainstorms on what to call our brand, so we eventually came up with the name 'Tempest' Which in the dictionary means storm. so we came upo with the slogan, Tempest, taking the fashion world by storm. we will cover shop reports where abouts in the market we are and each have a collection to design as our indivdual work. I chose to do childrenswear, As did steven so we compromised as a team and decided that I would do casual wear and he would do partywear.

My customer profile is based on children who aspire to be just like mammy, so my collection will consist of little grown up clothing. I decided to call my childrens wear for tempest; 'Tempest mini me'.

Each collection for every season will have a different name and story behind it. I have also created my own logo for Tempest mini me which is 3 little girls who each will have there own colour scheme's and collections and will be included in every story.

So my inspiration is called the enchanted garden. which is full of magical going ons and everything a little girl could ever dream of.

I Have spent alot of time on this project already, and intend on spending as much time as possible on it, to make it just right. I thourouly enjoyed colin reid coming in and giving us tips and help on how to get the best from this project. I enjoyed listening to his stories and I was very humble that he was there spending his own time with us.

 I want to show him the next time his in as much as possible and what I have done. So intend to work really hard and get every thing nearly finshed. Hopefully he will like it, but I also respect his opinion and if not right I will correct the problem asap.

Here is something that can inspire me for the theme:

The enchanted Garden

My icon

I came across this video and this is exactly how I feel about coco chanel, I cant explain how much she inspires me. when I loose sight in every thing and loose motivation which i dont normally do, as im a very positive and self motivated person, but every now and then my energy levels will drop and I often feel like I will never make it as it seems so far away!! but I will watch coco before chanel , coco & igor, or read a book about her, even watch a you tube video and my adrenelin will rush to the top of my head and send shivers down my spine, And then I relise why I really want this career, I dont feel this way about anything else and that in its self shows I was born to do this. I think: Imagine waking up every day to that feeling knowing I am doing something I have wanted to do as a little girl, fufiling my dreams and aspirations. So when getting my motivation back my work improves and my passion floods back in.

karl lagerfeld

I love that karl Lagerfeld has took over for chanel, and kept her spirit alive. He is genius, and even though I respect and look up to the man alot, I am very quite envious of his fabulous job (my dream job) he is so inpspirational. Here is a video of some of his amzing collections for chanel. he keeps her presence and whole idea of fashion alive yet has his own twist on the collection, each peice is timeless and totally insinc with the present, they never date and are always in fashion, That to me is genius and I think any designer would crave to design timeless peices that never dated.
