Great News!

Ok, so I can finally tell you more about the meeting I had in Copenhagen the other day! It was regarding a job opportunity, and I got the amazing news today that I am going to be working as a Fashion and Design Assistant at CIFF (Copenhagen International Fashion Fair) this August!

This job is a great networking opportunity for me, since as an assistant my job is not only going to be about helping out in general, but also to mingle and getting to know the companies and designers exhibiting at the fair.

I am so happy and excited right now!

Exciting Times

The headline says it all. I had a meeting in Copenhagen today about something that could turn out to be an awesome opportunity for me. I don't really want to say too much as this point, as I don't know how it went yet, but hopefully I will know more in the next few days :)

Also, when I got home I got an interesting e-mail regarding my collection! 

I realise now how vague this post is... but hey, just bear with me... Maybe this really is the beginning of something exciting! 

Was given this during the meeting. At first glance I thought it was milk, but it turned out to be water.

Don't Sing about Love.

Great song that I've got stuck in my head at the moment.

Updating website

So I decided to update the portfolio on my website! I've been doing some job searching today and applied to a couple of places that i found. The website is the easiest way to show my portfolio when applying online, so I have to keep it up to date with what I've been doing recently :)

In Sweden

So, I'm back in Sweden. Probably to stay... I'm not going to lie, it does feel a bit weird being back and knowing that it won't be just for a couple of weeks this time. I am going to miss London a lot, but at the same time it's just a couple of hours away by plane, so I can always go back to visit.

So far I haven't done that much since coming back. I came back monday evening, and although I've been searching for jobs and such, I've mostly been relaxing. To be fair, I do feel that I deserve a few day's rest, after all the hard work with the collection and all.

Earlier, I found out that the British Vogue had posted my collection, along with the others', on their website! You can find it on this link: http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/autumn-winter-2015/ready-to-wear/regent-s-university

My Collection: Break Me

Fashion Collections Show 2015 from Regent's University London on Vimeo.

So I thought I'd share the video and the images of my collection from the fashion show last week here on my blog! 

About my collection (taken from the catalogue handed out at the show):

The angst and the pain experienced whilst breaking out of a shell is represented metaphorically by the application of cracked surfaces rendered in soft latex, overall encompassing cocoon shapes and structures.

Materials I used were wool and linen, painted with liquid latex.

I was so proud and happy about my collection when I saw it on the runway. I just wish they would have posted a couple of pictures of some of the outfits from behind, these images don't really do any justice to a lot of detail that I put into my work. But anyway, you can see most of it in the video! My collection was opening the show, which was very exciting :)

Emotional Ride

And there it was. The breakdown. I started crying on the bus on my way from uni today, but it wasn't because I was sad. I cried because I was happy, because the past few months have been so incredibly intense and it is soon to be over. It's been such an emotional ride, and I am so proud of what I have achieved!

Today was the first day of our last week in uni. On wednesday we have our final presentation of our collections, and thursday next week is the day of the fashion show. I'm so excited!
