Once I was done with the project and had taken photos, I cut the plants from the tops I had made and used them to make a salad that my family had with dinner. The various microgreens tasted good and made quite a large amount of salad. The tops also looked nice once with the... Continue Reading →

For my final photoshoot, I used my nans garden and greenhouse as the location as I wanted it to feel like I was part of the garden. Having already done some research into garden-based fashion shoots, I copied some of the poses, and from my research into Tim Walker, I copied the composition of one... Continue Reading →

In an attempt to use up most of the scraps I made a bucket hat and used the scarps to stuff the head and brim to create a padded effect which is on-trend right now. I managed to use all of the scraps except the ones from the deconstructed shorts. This exercise demonstrated to me... Continue Reading →

Before I cut out all of the pattern pieces properly I added small filler pieces of patchwork to the edges that were shorter or had gaps - I used the white scraps I had cut out but ended up not using because they didn't fit in with colour palette. I made sure to only use... Continue Reading →

When looking at all the logo's it's clear that in many ways they are very similar to each other - they're all monotone, they largely use black... Continue Reading →

https://www.pinterest.co.uk/lilyrosewoodhouse/regeneration-photoshoot/ For my photoshoot I want to wear minimal, natural make-up, and air dry my hair to keep everything as organic as possible. I also have some green flower earrings that will look great with my final piece, and I found a picture of similar pair online, although mine are made of shell, not resin.... Continue Reading →

His fascination with photography began in Condé Nast's London library, where he worked on the Cecil Beaton archive before university. He shot his first Vogue fashion story at 25 and has been creating magical... Continue Reading →
