Its been a crazy couples of weeks, finally starting pattern making the range, its been long days and just none stop busy. Its taken almost 3 weeks to perfect them but Im confident that ill end up with a very successful range. Here's hoping the final construction comes with no mistakes or massive problems i cant fix. Ive got two patterns left and then ready to start the real deal.

Went to Allen and purchased all my tulle, just purchased all my lycra.

Now to start making up the belts and masks, never a dull moment. I'm never happy with whats out there so decided to make my own. Why not make it easy for myself.

ill be putting pictures up of my process very very soon, so stay posted.

To top off all the fun, i hurt my finger at netball and currently have it bandaged up, had to be the right hand. Isnt making the cutting and patterning making easy. Thank you netball. whoever said it was a none contact sport lied.

My hot lil finger will be making next times post to, so if your ready to laugh definately stay posted :)

HONG KONG!







so back from Hong Kong! which was an amazing crazy trip, was a fantastic way to see Hong kong and the way they work. In the 7days we were there, we did endless amounts of shopping, enjoyed the nightlife and most importantly found some amazing fabrics and accessories.



I found some perfect studs for my pieces and so so so cheap, i also found some metallic black netting which i hope to incorporate in my range.



Here's some photo of an amazing street we found that is just endless shops full of fabric and accessories, you need at least 3 days or more to have a serious look around.












Whilst away we also checked out two garment facbrics in China, which was eye opening and just a great thing to see.






You always have an image in your head about the way things work and look like but to see it in real life was great.






Here's some pictures of the factories....




and now this is the second factory we went to....









Along with all these visits we attended fashion week, which was soo much fun and just great to see.



We met some ladies from Australia who were trying to get their label seen and they had some really good advice. It was nice to see aussies there and get a real feel for what life would be like in that world.



Amongst all thus fun, it was sooo very hot and sticky, we got terribly burnt and lost a god 5kilos from all the hiking around.

Overall a fantastic trip and definately something any person into fashion should do because its an amazing experience.

The markets are the ultimate highlight and the culture is just mind boggling.

Of course the fun isnt over because it was time for us to head back to tafe

to a new surroundings in the city

and finally start our ranges.

so until next time guys, stay posted.
