Proenza Schouler Spring 2012

Information
Proenza Schouler's Spring 2012 collection cited Googie architecture as an influence and all the things that came with it: midcentury modern design and a little bit of kitsch. Specifically, the Proenza boys mentioned the Fontainebleu Hotel in Miami, which might explain the shag rug runway, zebra prints, and raffia. Ladylike silhouettes — fitted high-waist pencil skirts and structured jackets — kept the collection feeling polished and refined. There was plenty of color, print, and texture, like bold yellow, turquoise blue, tropical prints, raffia, to make the collection full of wearable, covetable pieces for Spring.

Trends: midcentury modernism, architectural themes, tropical prints.
Colors: bright yellow, turquoise blue, earth tones, orange.
Key Piece: eelskin skirts, any of the floral pieces.
Accessories: wood-platform, open-toe sandals.
Who Would Wear It: Proenza has the downtown-cool girl in its pocket — Alexa Chung, Jessica Stam, Liv Tyler.

Road To Freedom Spring/Summer 2012

I'm so excited to show to you what I have planned for my outfit for out uni's annual June fashion show .
For our fashion show each year is given a specific topic and within that we have to pick our own inspiration and designer .
So for my class (2nd year class) our topic was a tailor jacket, so we started of researching all the history of the tailor jacket.
Then we had to choose a designer who uses a lot of them and design a new collection which was inspired by our own theme.
So in my case, I chose Ann-Sofie Back a swedish designer and for my theme I chose Slavery
Here are a couple pages that I did:


















Here are a few sketches that I did ( I did about 75+ sketches but these are the final 5 )
















Here is my final sketch and illustration
