Exam Time

So today i was given my exam paper for textiles......shit. Ok so the choice for textiles was organic forms, surfaces, rangoli pattern ( can someone please explain what that actually is) so i thought hey why not choose a topic where i can teach myself things?

Therefore i went with surfaces i was going through our little library my art teacher has at the back of her cupboard and i found this fantastic book! The manipulating usage withing these pages and the simplicity they are described in makes it the bible for naughty textile armies....i am in awe. I could learn to pleat like the s/s'10 Yves Saint Laurent collection, the detail put in by Mr Pilati-I applaud you sir.

I want to really learn something but sadly will have to teach myself-thinking about it that will be great, i like to teach myself new things-fantastical (will explain the over use of fantastic later perhaps?)

Im excited about the Whitewash that has fallen like snow over the catwalks this spring. White brings a fresh canvas like untouched snow, clean sheets or even unused cartridge paper, the aspect of being just white brings so many ideas, making you just want to touch them!

Handy too in thoughts to the recession, or shall i say almost recession, we are after all people of Great Britain we are 0.01% outside of the recession margin, just in time for the end of January Sales eh? I think this spring designers are being sympathetic to those who cannot afford to purchase NEW clothes and the daunting prospect of falling back into debt over a beautiful Rochas Mini Dress or an architcural piece by the amazing Jil Saunder. But the trick is coming from the monochrome of winter we are just phasing into white ahh spring lambs in this weather though you will most definately look like spring chicken-thats why god invented tights-rodarte, mui mui anyone?? Take Care!
