AW13 Planning

A few inspiration boards behind our AW13 lookbook. Planning out clothing looks, location, make up hair etc. Most of the images are taken or sourced by my photoshoot planners @holliedavies

and @JessBeardmore. They both study Textiles in Practice at Manchester School of Art. Follow Jessica's ever expanding and inspirational Pinterest boards here and follow Hollie's thought processes and design influences at her tumblr here. Over the past few weeks they have both been researching and planning the AW13 lookbook for www.riannaphillips.com. It's coming together beautifully.

Manchester School of Art - The Refurb

A bit about me - Alongside running my little digital print industry I am a tutor at Manchester School of Art. It's a job I really enjoy and since the university underwent a massive multi million pound refurb the building is a delight to work in. I graduated a few years ago and i'm sure all of my fellow graduates would have loved if the work spaces were like this whilst we were there. Moaning aside, I thought it would be interesting to document my time with the students and (with their permission) let outsiders see into their design processes. 

So i'll kick off with Hollie Davies, follow her on Twitter here @HollieDavies20

A few quick snaps of the refurb and the fashion students settling in
