Jeanswest Campaign...

The amazing feeling of having something complete! 

My latest project was the Jeanswest 2014 transeasonal range, in collaboration with two amazing aspiring fashion designers, Taylor & Kelly. Our task was to design a transeasonal range that captured the essence of the Jeanswest aesthetic; pattern make and then make an outfit consisting of three garments each. Our hero pieces needed to be the denim jacket, denim being what the company is most known for. The challenge was to re invent the classic denim jacket for this generation. For each designer it was our first experience working with denim, all denim has been self dyed & sewn individually. 

In our campaign shoot we went for a natural earthy vibe taking a slight boho aesthetic. Our photographer did an amazing job at representing our work, thanks to the talented Nicole Williams for this campaign shoot. Some of here other work can be found here. 

Each designer is wearing there own creation: 

Myself: Low crotch grey pant // Jersey and contrast burnt orange top // Floral & Denim Jacket

Taylor: Low crotch jersey pant // Black tank top with leaf embellishment // biker style denim jacket

Kelly: Orange dress // Denim jacket with contrast black panels // Jersey top (not featured)

  

Dreamer...

A photo from a few Sunday's back! Every since I was a little tucker I dreamt of being in a magazine and some dreams die hard...Still can not wait til the day I am featured in a magazine as precious as this one! And how fitting... It's the dream issue! If you havn't heard of it before its Papier Mache, an amazing childrens wear magazine. It's difficult not to feel inspired and captivated by the amazing photography and fashion featured in this issue.

The perfect match, a good magazine, sunny Sunday outdoors, homemade organic raw cheesecake & a cup of loose leaf Chai.x 

Love this look....

As promised on my Instgram (@ageh) today here is a children's wear inspiration post! I have given a focus on toddlers; With all the Mumma's due around me I thought it was fitting to get inspired with how I will be dressing their littles to be! 

What's your favourite? I'd love to know! x 

MSFW

Last week I attended Melbourne Spring Fashion Week to see Runway 2! A little delayed I know, forgive me, I've been busy studying!

Some stand outs for me were definitely Life with Bird, Alice McCall, Manning Cartell and Neo Dia, with their modern flare and functionality... 

I'll let these beauties speak for them selves.x

Sew, sew, sew....

Seem to be spending a lot of my time pattern making of late, so nothing I'd like more than to share it with you all. I have been trying some new methods of patterns making, and finding my own style of technique that suits me!  

1. Zero waste method. Having a square of material, cutting, and manipulating to come up with a a garment design. And yep, there is no fabric waste allowed! I manipulated my scrap fabric from the bodice into flowers and a platted waistband

 2. Shingo Sato Transformation Reconstruction... And an amazing technique which involves drawing shapes and design lines onto the dress form and then cutting out the design lines on the fabric, to then transfer the pattern to paper. He has many on line tutorials and it is an amazing technique. This is an example of "the ribbon dress". The curved lines were incredibly hard to sew, but I think the outcome was interesting!

3. I am lucky enough to be doing a project with Jeanwest at the moment.... My task is to re invent the denim jacket and create a range to go along side it in a group of 3. This is my denim jacket toile, that I designed and pattern made from scratch! I was really happy with the lines and fit... 

4. Dyed my own denim!... What an experiment. I really liked the final look of the denim and the idea of teaming it up with Jacquard. Cant forget your tea and a great pair of scissors when cutting out your pattern.

5. A sneak peek! The jacket is coming along well, this is a little sewing I did today... Can't wait to show you the campaign shoot... 

It's Sunday.

Attended the Fashion Exposed event at Melbourne Exhibition Centre today as a Business Owner, and that was a pretty cool feeling! Listened to some speakers, what I found especially interesting was the seminar on social media. It is incredibly powerful, and we must admit, we all love it! 

What's your favourite type of social media? I can't seem to get enough of Instgram follow me @ageh. I can not wait to have a website next year... Thanks for jumping on the bandwagon early viewers! It will all be worth it! 

This is just a quick Sunday night post! I will be back this week and excited to share you with some pattern making projects and new techniques I've been trialing.  

It's Sunday so, time for tea. x 

Enjoy-
