Kat Maconie

This collection of very amazing Kat Maconie shoes came in at TheOutnet.com early this week.
Im slightly in love with the metalware used, especially the loops in the first images. I used all sorts of metal objects in my final project and am looking for new ways to use them in my bag adventure.
You may recognise some of these little beauties from the Felder Felder catwalk pictured below. Alex Vanthournout has done a post about Maconie's latest collection and the flat shoes are amazing! Check it out here.









My little arrival by delivery this morning! They are the pair second down in the pics above.
I have a big posh party to attend tomorrow night so am going to wear these. Annette if your reading this I hope your excited for your big weekend!

Mara Hoffman Resort 2011

The bag above, THE BAG!!









Im not a massive summer person (Love layering up in the winter) but this resort collection by Mara Hoffman stuns me. The very first pic with the flowing dress is amazing!
To me the prints are a mix of aztec and tribal.

Givenchy Backstage

Can't get enough of this collection
Love the frame prints

Bags in practice

Since I designed this bag to accompany the final year degree collection, i've had a few requests off people wanting to buy one for themselves. I will eventually put the collection of bags in an online shop via my website. There is also a collection of digitally printed scarves ready to be photographed for the shop. Its all very exciting and since Ive left uni I've enjoyed carrying on the design journey! (sad!) I actually can not switch off that print design switch in my head . . . . example.

The lining of the bag pictured above is digitally printed, a few people wanted the actual outside of the bag printed instead, some with embellishment and some without.

So this week I have been doodling and drawing, coming up with possibilites for the print and maybe new ideas. I embellished this particular bag with steel nuts and faceted diamonds but Ive been sampling other ideas. Will post about them soon.
Which of the bags above would you buy?

I have an interview tomorrow for a fashion design internship.
Wish me luck!
