About Me

My photo
As a little girl I would make dresses out of pillow cases and colour them with crayola markers, spend hours scribbling shoes and dreamed of working in the fashion industry, not much has changed since then. Im studying at Limerick School of Art and Design which I love,in my third year of fashion design. My favourite designers at the moment are Haider Rick Owens, Hussein Chalayan,Iris Van Herpen,Stella McCartney,Steffie Christaens , Gareth Pugh and Anne Sophie Madsen (and the list goes on and on and on!). I am driven and excited about fashion and look forward to the future.

Rick Owens for Zara A/W 2012



So its the begining of a new week and I have another project to think about. The breif for my new project is interesting and I cant wait to get stuck in! I have to pick a designer and a high street store to do a colaboration with, I have choosen Rick Owens for Zara. Rick Owens has always fascinated me as a designer, I love his simple and edgy designs and his muted colour pallet. In my opinion Zara is one of the leading high street stores when it comes to quality, price and beautiful pieces. I believe the two would create an interesting A/W collection. A general knowledge of the designer, the brand and the customer will be essential for this design project to be a sucess.

Rick Owens A/W 2011




This collection makes me wish for snow and loads of money. I want the money, to buy the whole collection. The snow, so it is cold enough to wear the collection. I love the quilted capes and sleeves, the dark wintery colours and the contrasting paneling. So if any body is reading this can I please have some money and some snow : )
