Forget the Kardashian's, try keeping up with college!

22 days left until fashion show, these are words that could quite literally drive me to breaking point. Why? Because I'm not ready... 

I have always said I am one for leaving everything until the last minute, however, there's leaving it to the last minute and then there's just playing with fire. 

Luckily though I am sooner rather than later addressing the issues, such as time keeping and not delaying it any longer and getting on with it. The problem is, I've not been in education for such a long time, I'm used to deadlines in figure form that affect the company and not me as an individual so it's pretty daunting. I hate failing, and I also hate the idea of not being able to do something right first time around. 

This is probably why I'm terrified of making my final garment, designing it is a worry I certainly don't have, making it however! Well, we'll get to that part when it arrives. 

For now though, here's the story so far... 

 The title of my new theme which was plucked as a development from Androgyny.

 'No more fashion victims' is one of the more modern slogans created by British Designer Katherine Hamnett, made most famous in the 80's due to her 'Choose Life' T.Shirts warn famously by WHAM! in their video for 'Wake me up, Before you Go Go'...

 This is a colour board ^ which I produced using photoshop which I have had very little experience with, do excuse my poor manicure at the bottom I haven't had time for a change recently, but the work (which is obviously far more important than nice nails) doesn't look too shabby at least for a first effort at least...

I am always most inspired by things that are happening around me, or politically impact me. For example the debate on banning airbrushed models which are affecting the increase on eating disorders at the moment is running riot, all these things affect the levels of inspiration around me. 

For my final collection I have been inspired by the idea of social differences and the influence that things like class and personal situations have on fashion. For example someone who follows anarchism tends to have a certain style about them, Punk mainly. 

Vivienne Westwood, Katherine Hamnett and Henry Holland are my three main designers which have influenced me the most and I've already received comments from fellow students that you can see this in my designs already. 

I have no clue what I will do for my final design, but for now, the one above is certainly the leader in the stakes for success. 

Do let me know what you think fellow fashionistas!!!! 

Enjoy
