Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole.

so I'm back, maybe. college has slapped me in the face since i've been back, many times. i've had to organize work experience, and start some serious brainstorming for the next shoot which is on the 8th of feb, which gives us an extra week, which is cool.
the theme this time is ''future vision'', and abstract aspects from mechanical objects. we've to make an accessory, a garment, and a bag. my imagination is working, thats for sure.
for my accessory, i'm planning on making some sort of hood, maybe a draped jersey kind of thing, because i already tried another stiff-ish type of fabric and it didn't work out so well. either a hood, a collar, or a shin or arm guard. why do i need a shin or arm guard? i don't know. only the future can figure that out.
my garment will be something for the bottom half this time, as for printed textiles we have to feature a print (clearly, this time with lino as opposed to a stencil) on a tshirt/dress/top of our choice. i semi cheated and bought a tacky number in that shop 'catch' just off liffey street. does anyone know it? yeah. there.
the idea of the bag is to revolve around ''iNess'' like iPods, iTunes... basically my tutor thinks that iAnything relates to the future, which, fair enough, it may. she has some of the wildest ideas ever. i appreciate her, alot. but anyway the bag has to be made from a paper bag. or a card bag. and we've to combine materials and come up with another way for the bag to be worn in everyday life. so my plan is to put it on wheels and attach a lead to it, as though it were a pet. i'm quite happy with this idea, i just hope i can find a 4-pack of wheels.

VIKTOR & ROLF SS 2010
i'm so fucking impressed with this collection, i just can't even understand it. well, i can but it's quite mind blowing. the pastel colours in general this season are so pretty i can't explain how into them i am. they remind me of those flying saucers you used to eat when you were a kid? the choice of music for the catwalk fits the show perfectly, too. roisin murphy, who has been growing on me alot lately, performed live at the show at Paris Fashion Week, even sporting a some V&R on herself.






in love with those shin pieces. what do you even call them. delicious, i'm thinking.
anyway, my laptop battery is at 7% and i'm super tired from experimenting with my making of hoods and sewing in general. i deserve some winks. i'll leave you all with this ''unofficial'' video for a tune by roisin herself, orally fixated... happy blogging.



eat me,
AX.
