Pics and pins

Since the show there has been a lot of little things going on, one of which was a photo shoot.  I was paired with a photographer from school to shoot my work.   We did the shoot at the Mac make up lab in NYC and were lucky enough to have a make up artist for the model.  The shoot took about 6 hours and we shot most of the work that I have done over the past 2 years.  The pics below are just of the collection pieces that did for the show.

So after the shoot, i thought that is would be a good idea to make my Graduation dress.  I sketched out a few thumbnails on the train.  I wanted to utilize fabrics that I have and create something that looks vintage, simple and classy.

Then I took the fabric, just pinned it to the form layer over layer to test out a few ideas.  Tomorrow I will start making the real thing.
