DAYLIGHT..continued...........

Hey guys, hope ur good.. So this is a follow up on Daylight which was posted last month. Anyways here's a little sneak peek of casual clothing for men that i randomly worked on.
Basically i got inspired by this......

Yup, thats right! car production lol :-).....Anyways heres a little peep show:


So i decided to keep the front of the cargo pants plain but its detailed with a patch-pocket thats been dropped down, well its more like a fashion pocket, but u've got ur functional pockets at the top.
The back of it has the car part panels patched on it(in fabric oooo, we're not that retro) lol!

So this one is a spin off the first, its got zips instead, so u've got ur functional open zip thats top-stitched and theres the zip at the bottom which is more of a fashion zip! :- ) The two little drawings are the rear view.
Hopefully u'll see more of this pretty soon...stay cool x x x Now back to my tailoring garments which is what i should be doing more of in the first place.
Take care and God bless, signing out BBM for men x x x

A DAY IN SUN!

Today went so well,so i just thought to share it with the whole world.. :-) Ok so got to school about 30 minutes late :-( thanks to my ever so soft bed.

Anyways... i was on point in my pattern cutting class today(eer not that im not on point everyday but lets just say today was extra special) well it is a complicated module:

Can you see why?
Anywho's then we got some good news that my school is no longer a college its now part of the University of Northumbria(one of the top for design-automotive,interior e.t.c in the country) :-)

After that i got my grades, i had moved up a grade in three modules...:-) :-):-) (one for each). In all honesty i wasnt really expecting to do that well, my creative director is great isnt He?

Me and the girlies had fun in the sun(ha freestyler..lol)

I was given the green light to go ahead with menswear so i got me a little book,which i am so loving at the moment..Allow the advert picture..


And my design tutor took us on a little field trip this afternoon which was rather interesting....overall score for today 10/10 thanks to the Guy upstairs..He is so awesome wwhhhaaa........

So people are having exams at the moment just ask Him, He will share that workload with u, do your bit and just trust Him..u'll bear so much fruit(ripe that is lol)......Take care and God bless....Signing out......

DARLING BUDS OF MAY!

Hey guys, hope you're good. I haven't abandoned my blog, i love it too much if i say so myself. Hope u've had a great week so far.Its the first day of may, which means we are drawing nearer towards summer oouuuuii(french for yes lol).
Since you last heard from me, this is what i have been up to other than coursework.

My friend has a 50th birthday party to attend(groovy huh)?She wanted me to come with an outfit for her. However, i couldnt choose the fabric personally as they were using "aso-ibi(hope i spelt it right lol) for the party.

So there i was clueless wondering what the fabric would be (weight-wise/color)She brought the fabric, it wasnt really what i had in mind, cos personally i am not really ankara's greatest fan and i was hoping the colors would be bright, they werent bright however they were bold(so i found potential in that).

You know lately i have been on about stepping out of your comfort zone so that seemed like an opportunity to do so.
So i showed her a few designs and she chose the one she liked most, and then i got cracking.

What i love most about the outfit is its versatility, in the sense that she is not restricted as to how she can wear it. Pics below x x x x

As a halter-neck,overlapped unevenly or as a sash


As a laid-on collar....or she could even take if off completely.
And give it a little vintage twist with a bow-tie.

I had so much fun working on her outfit especially the embroidery work (hand stitching the sequins).

I'll keep you updated have a great weekend,(try and step out of your comfort zone this weekend, it might just lead to something great). Signing out.
