Rianna Phillips AW13 Press Event

Our AW13 press event took place at 2022NQ in the Northern Quarter, Manchester last Wednesday (16th Oct). What an immense crazy day it was! I had such a great time meeting press and bloggers and have been seeing all sorts of lovely blog posts appear via twitter and instagram, use #riannaphillips if you want me to pick up on it.

One of the amazing tutors that I was lucky enough to be taught by Alan Holmes (now director of studies and design) having a chat with Textile Design for Fashion graduate Lucy Jones. Blog post on Lucy and her beautiful work coming up.

I took MILLIONS of pictures at the Manchester School of Art degree show. The building has just had a massive refurb which compliments the students spectacular work magnificently. 

I think it's best to split the pics up into a few chunks. Above is a mix of work from courses Textiles Design for Fashion and Embroidery. This is an emotional area for me as I studied Textile Design for Fashion whilst I was at Man Met and these two courses are being merged into one big course called 'Textiles in Practice'.

So my lovely course is no more! 

I feel very privileged to have had a helping hand with these final year students as it marks the end of a wonderful era. 

Since last October I was brought into the uni to do tutorial sessions and help out with their digitalprint/photoshop skills. I had a fab time being back at MMU and love working in this amazing new building 'Chatham Tower'. Can't wait to start the journey all over again with the next lot of students. Bring on September! 

Manchester School of Art Degree Show 2012

Last week I went to have a mooch around my old uni's degree show. I graduated last summer but went back a few months ago to talk to the final year Textile Design for Fashion students about their final year projects (see the blog post here). Well the degree show was fantastic and they all did amazingly. I filled a memory card with pics so here are a selected few. The show was in Spinningfields this year which I thought worked well. So much more space and a lot more in the surrounding area (like 'hey little cupcake' the most amazing cupckae shop). so anyway ENJOY!

Rachel Edmond - the print . . . OH THE PRINT!

Gavin Donnachie - interesting portfolio layout

Zoe Pritchard - cool bag alert!

Laura Baker - Am sooo impressed with this print, it's beautiful

Hannah Bellamy - am slightly obsessed with this project, print, flowing fabric, yellow, blue . . . what more could you want!

Hannah Voong - loved her portfolio, drawing, print and layout

Textile Design for Fashion Degree Space

Pics from my degree space.
This is how I presented my work at the degree show.
I had to go into uni yesterday to take it all down which was very sad!
But i suppose its the start of the next chapter of my life.


Manchester Graduate fashion show went really well, as soon as I get pics I'll put them up.

The first pic is of a row of digitally printed scarves which I will either sell on this blog or my website in the next few weeks.

I think I will do a post with the print designs so you can see exactly what is printed onto each scarf. Some are made from georgette and some are made from crep de chin.

If anyone is interested in buying one let me know, they will be from £60-£70 each.
