Audi Spectacle.



Something I stumbled upon that you don't come across everyday.
The perfect brand to pioneer this original concept of billboard advertising, created by Access Agency. It is a display of the four iconic Audi rings with life sized Audi cars suspended from the Sydney Harbour Bridge. With a stunning background of architecture creating a buzz around the brand which is synonymous with design and innovation.
Quite spectacular.

Sneaker Cool.




Sneaker Cool.
Rafael de Cardenas of New York's Architecture at Large took on this challenge with the rebuilding of Ubiq Philadelphia, the destination of choice for sneakerheads from far and wide.
A traditional men's tailor room has been transformed into streetwear sneaker glam heaven. The crisp white walls sharing polished furnishings with bold lighting showcasing a rich and luxurious atmosphere with an inviting presence.

Oh dear.

I have just seen when I last posted something onto this wall at the end of April. Not quite May, but close.
OH DEAR. Yes it has definitely been too long to even think about. I have definitely suffered a pause in my blogging life. This summer has been a weird one for me, hitting highs and some serious lows.
Now it is time to get back on track and finish my final year at university on a massive high.

Wish me luck.

Double up with Denim

Double Denim.

Pretty much a fan. Ever since I bought my denim jacket, I'm in love!

I have yet to pair my denims together. Even just sitting in my lecture yesterday I could count over 20 sat in some sort of denim. Jackets were the big favourite amongst everyone.






I love this combo. Would I wear it? I very much doubt it. But I do really like it. The jackets especially.


Busyy Bee!

Recently I have definitely been a combination of a busy bee and opposite to that tres lazy. Definitely not impressed with my lack of loyalty to blogging. However I am back and getting back into it. Omg this will only have been the second blog post of April. Not impressed.
Moving on from Topman we have been assigned a new project with a brand called Jonathan Aston. Honestly, I'm not so overly impressed with them. There website is lacking any personality and brand identity, with particular reference to their website!!
Anyway.. it is our job as FMB students to generate brand awareness whilst maintaining a presence with an older consumer as well as targeting a new younger consumer. I really need to get enthusiastic about this one. Hmmmm.

Back-Packing Craze

So slouchy, rugged back packs becoming a big trend. I have seen the trend grow, with one particular girly on the course wearing hers regularly. Not sure if its my type! But I think she pulls it off well.

Missoni.. join the craze. Followed with Louis Vuitton and their renowned print.

Quite the Obsession.

Quite the obsession with Sienna Miller.

Especially with the look book for Twenty8Twelve. These photographs are amazing. The brand is edgy with twists of rock chic, vintage and cool. I think enough said.





WAH NAILS

WAH Nails will be hosting a nail car at the Chevrolet Spark Unscheduled Tour launch in London on April 8. So why not make a pit stop? Topshop already has its own WAH Nails instore. amazing.

An interest in my younger years definitely developed in nail art. Infact I bought my own kit and decorated all my friends nails in all sorts of patterns. Was pretty cool. Not quite the standard to WAH though! With my nails I have more of an interest in colour rather than pattern.

READINGGGG!!

I would like a ticket please. Anyone? This would be my second time to go to Reading. I love it! Crazy times meet loud, amazing music with wild drunken people (or any drug abusers). It will be soo good to go but the chances are getting slimmer. Apparently all sold out?! Ohh no.
My summer will basically consist of Morocco, Work Experience, Spain, Work Experience, Earning money and Reading!!!
Amazing! Just a bit of a blab. Need to get some of it out and make up for lost time. Maybe soon if my little sis, who is not that little will do a photoshoot for me. One i can style and be creative and what not. Exciting! OOooo no reading has apprently sold out. Not so fun.
Off to investigate.

Wow!

It has definitely been a long time! I am not impressed with my lack of interest the past couple of weeks!! I have been loaded with so so much work! But hey.. my Topman Design project is over. Amazing! In the best way possible. The creation from the group indeMANd presents >>>>

The final outcome was amazing. I love this final piece.

This is our trend briefing pack to predict trends within 2years time.. pretty cool. I love the layout with the use of text and imagery.

McQueen

Alexander McQueen's spring/ summer 2010 collection has been awarded a top designs award.

The final collection the designer worked on, for autumn/winter 2010-11, is set to be shown at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.

Red Carpet Treatment?

CHRISTIAN DIOR

DONNA KARAN COLLECTION

RALPH LAUREN

MARCHESA
These dresses are amazing. With floor-length silk dresses and plunging necklines with almost indecent leg splits will always give maximum impact. The knee-length dresses are seen to be a youthful option. Take the fresh approach and wear your hair undone and your eyes smokey to inject a little Hollywood glamour. Buy me one? My birthday soon.
Quite in love with Mr Dior.

I love this magazine. Issue 10 with so many covers to choose from. Last two left. The past couple of weeks I have managed to spend my loan on so many magazines. Think I need a few more?

Dungarees Anyone?

Making a comeback for

S/S 10

Following through with denim trend!

I think you have to either love them or hate them? Personally not a fan of the denim ones. Natural territory from Ralph Lauren with baggy worn denim, however Jean Paul Gaultier gave luxe to the denim coloured silk.

Inside Out.

On trend.
Underwear as Outerwear

The pieces begin with lace edges to boned bra cups in sweaters and tops. The trend embraces the springs neutral & pastel colour palettes with a romantic edge. Too exposed? Cover up with a knit cardigan or a blazer.

Topman Design

LFW

A/W10

Topman Design

The next project.




There is a little a snippet of what was experienced at LFW with Topman Design at the forefront. I think that I am really going to enjoy this project! Whilst working in partnership with our FCP team the objective is to devise Communication Strategy and Brand Strategy to compliment a collection designed by the Fashion Design team.
This project gives us the chance to interact with other people on the FCP course which I quite like. Right enough from me. DVC here I come!!






Kickers

So Kickers. We presented yesterday. Everything went well! Confidence is definitely a lot better than previous times.
We still have plenty to be doing with Kickers; summary and portfolio is the beginning.
Ahhh next on the agenda...
Topman Design!!
I can't wait to begin.

So whats next?

So Kickers?

Whats next for the group?

Well. On Thursday we are presenting to a number of representatives from the Pentland Group. After my group received the Fashion Communication and Promotions presentation and ideas, it was then our chance to form our own presentation to generate communication objectives. We have been given a budget to stick to and promote the denim Kick-Hi shoe.

In Today I'm Wearing.

I like Alexa
Alexa Chung is a new love. Her face is popping up more & more recently. I think she is so cool and such a beauty.
These pictures are taken from her blog page for Vogue to coincide with the March issue to which she is the cover! Anyway I selected 3 outfits from her day 4, 9 and 11 looks. I love them. This day 4. Amazing.
I like her. Finally I'm home for the weekend and I managed to be united with my Vogue March issue. Happy. Apologies for the blurred pictures.

Day 4
Ahh I can't wait for the summer.
I love her black bag. Remind me of mine.
<3

Day 9
This outfit. Amazing.
I love the coat & Chung's booties.

Day 11
I love Alexa's vintage Levi's high waisted shorts.
So cute. I want some?
