London College of Fashion 2012
So you may have read a post sometime ago about how my graduate collection is appearing in a film and newspaper for a British Fashion Council presentation. Well they are both officially online right now!
They were presented at The British Fashion Council's BA graduate preview day where industry professionals are invited along to take a look at emerging talent from a selection of fashion universities.
But what is most amazing is that the college won 'WGSN Digital Presentation Award'.
You can find my 'Memento' hand necklace and hand ring in the film and the ring alone in the newspaper!
Please do take the time to have a look at both.... just follow the links below, the production is fabulous.

Technology That Can Blow Your Mind!
The Fashion Digital Studio at London College of Fashion do some mind blowing, amazing things using new technology.
Using up to date 3D software and exploring the technique of 'Rapid Prototyping' they produce models which take a fair few minutes to rap your mind around!
Here's a video about the concept and process of rapid prototyping ..... with some extra cheese!
You may or may not know, but the components for my final collection were produced using rapid prototyping.
Sneaky peak ...
Without the facilities and staffing at the FBRS departfment in LCF it would have been impossible for me to finish my final collection!
They just blogged about my work, so have a look see ....
.....Logo drop!
.... Website drop!

Roll Camera ...
Yesterday was London College of Fashion's first day of filming for it's British Fashion Council project ... now there's a mouthful!
Happily attended by myself and Joanna (Joasia) Chmiel, we were pretty happy to see the fruits of our labor finally come to fruition ... sorry for that pretentious note.
HELLO FILM!
Let's say it was an interesting affair .... creative license was well used. What I could see from the play back (on a laptop in the distance) was a film, which is going to look fabulous.
My work was modeled beautifully by a lovely lady with a hairstyle that strangely resembled my own BIG hair ... she wore one of my necklaces and rings marvelously.
Also the lovely Joanna made a comeback as a hand model ... I think you have a proffession to fall back on there beautiful lady.
I am so excited to see the finished film and magazine. This project has been incredi - bubble!

Thinking Photography
Tuesday was another stupendous day in my little jewellery world!
Myslef and some of my beautiful classmates helped out a rather lovely third year photography student named Hannah Powling. Her final major project focuses on world war II women waiting for their men to return home from the pains of the battleground (correct me if I'm wrong Hannah).
Miss Powling featured some of BA (Hons) Fashion Jewellery's beauties in her 15 look photography final major project.
Myself Joanna Chmiel and the lovely Claire Pugh were lucky enough to see the shoot and hang out on the set. The set being an absolutely wonderful older couple's home who were more than happy to lend Hannah their house...amazing!
Collaborating with someone from another course has been great and I am so super excited to see the final 15 looks.
Well done Hannah my love!
