TUESDAY
I spent the weekend, and today completing my garment. Despite the fabric not working with me at first, luckily everything came together, and it is now completed. I explained before that I would be making; a collar, skirt and top for my final outcome. Once the whole outfit was completed, I felt there was something missing. So I decided to buy some more fabric - pink lace. I cut the flowers out of the lace and added them to my collar. I felt the outfit itself was modern enough, that I could add something traditional, just to take it back to my nan.
Also while I was making the skirt, the fabric was far too heavy to create the frill I wanted. So I went back to designing, and created a little ruffle to add to the back of the skirt.
I felt this was enough, without taking too much attention away. It's cute and traditional, without looking too much like a costume. WEDNESDAY
Everyone was back in on Wednesday for a photoshoot. We were all in charge of creating the look we wanted. That included; hair, make up, and the model.
I had thought long and hard about who I wanted to model. But since I was going to be doing my own photo shoot as well, I decided to model this one myself. The project is personal to me, so it felt right that on this occasion I would model.
Looking back on photos of my nan, she always looked presentable, but was never one to over do it. So I kept my hair in its nature state and put on very minimal make up.
The whole experience of the photoshoot was so much fun. I loved it! It's definitely something I am looking forward to doing again.
THURSDAY
I used the start of Thursday to do my own photoshoot. I asked my friend Lauren Page to model for me, she's been scouted by Storm and Next modelling agency, so I thought she would be perfect for the job.
The location of my shoot was the Hoxton flower market, located down Columbia Road. My mum and nan would shop down there all the time! And there's still a lot of the original shops, so I felt this would keep to the concept of my project and help bring my nan's stories to life.
