Fanshawe College's Unbound 2010 Fashion Show

I recently graduated from the fashion design program at Fanshawe College in London Ontario.

Our final project was to put together a collection of 5 outfits(designing and sewing), and as a class put on our fashion show.

My part in putting together the fashion show was in the promotions committee. I helped with securing sponsorships, and brainstorming different ideas for promoting. But my main job was designing and creating the show program. It turned out great and I was very proud of it.

My collection was called "Aspiration"

"Aspiration" is a collection of dresses that would be worn to an 'After 5' event. With vibrant blues and greens and a neutral tan colour, this collection has a very Middle Eastern feel to it. Luxurious fabrics are used to create both structure and lightweight draping. This collection is for a woman that aspires to be the best she can be, and wants to look luxurious while doing it.

The show was a huge success, we had appearances from David Dixon, Leesa Butler of F-List, Gail McGinnes of TFI, Erin O'Brien of Flare Magazine, and Maggie Bill of ET Canada.

This show was truly a learning experience for all of us in the class, and it really brought us closer.

I'm also going to show a few pictures of some of my favourite outfits from the others in the class.

My apologies to those that I have missed from my class, I don't like adding too much because it gets a little overwhelming to read. If any of you would like a feature in this blog to yourself, feel free to contact me :)

I hope you all enjoyed this post! This was a great event and I'm really happy to share it!

People that Heart Tarapparel

I want to give a little shout out to those that have hearted my Etsy shop as of today :) Except those that choose to be secret admirers, just because I have no idea who they are.

I am going to post the 1st half of them today and the second half tomorrow, even though I have less than 40 people that have hearted me, it's a lot of work getting them all up here, and I figure it might be a little overwhelming for readers to see the all in one post.



Enjoy :)
