I Like Coco
In previous blog posts, I’m known not to really like much of Chanel’s collection. However, the Pre Spring 2014 collection I did like, although it took me awhile I came round in the end.
I’ve come to realise every designer has there signature or rather then touch in all collections and Chanel’s is tweed, almost every collection I’ve seen tweed plays an important part,...

Multicolour Prints By Stella Jean
Another colourful bright spring summer collection by Stella Jean, I love her simply because she uses Ankara in all of her collections, bringing Africa to life, and with the use of print I find it enhances the volume of the garment. I am fully inspired as I always find her so inspiring, I love to use African cloth for myself with so many choices to pick, there’s always something unique for...

Louis Texture
I think out of this entire collection from Louis Vuitton the richness of texture used and use of colour is what catch my eye, I love the detail and the fact that it makes you want to touch and rub your entire hand across the fabric (It does for me)
Although you can’t see the full view of the garments, I like the shape of the dresses, the collection gives off a 50s inspired look, which...

African Couture
Maybe African couture has always existed but I just never paid much attention in researching about it. While browsing on the interenet as I do, looking for some African prints for myself, I came across some really nice images of ankara or better to call it african prints, which really stood out to me. It inspired me not to create a 3D look, but rather to use African prints more. Seeing as I love...

11 Things Every Seamstress Or Tailor Needs In...
While sitting in my class on Monday, a student who seemed like a beginner causally asked me. What goes in a sewing box? I answered saying the usually things that you always need. She looked at me and shrugged….
I decided to write up 11 things which I think are a must have, tailors may use different things, but these 11 things, I believe are the essentials to have.
1. Safety pins - notice...

Loresha's Fashion Journey Part 1.
Today I started my fashion course and so far so good, I decided to try and keep a journal of it on a weekly basis, as that’s how the course is. I feel as though I’m back in uni all over again, but, this time my mindset is much more different. Although today was the first class, the work load has already started, and I do plan to stay on top and not fall behind.
At present it’s...

The 'Little' Collection Part 10
Here we are again, part 10.
Where am I with this ‘Little’ collection? I’ve sewn all the outfits together, and just need to do a few alterations and machine hem one outfit and hand sew hem the other. Looking at all the outfits from afar I stand in amazement and think WOW did I really create these. The colour, the print I love everything. I don’t think I will ever give it...

A Tailored View From The Window
I’m 100% for Womenswear, I love it and it’s what I’m passionate about. However Men’s tailoring I do adore, and think everything about it is a piece of art. Tailoring is in fact the opposite to a seamstress/dressmaker, one who sews suits, alters and repairs clothes for men. My biggest inspiration with men’s tailoring is Savile Row. I think everyone on that road is...
