The structure of a designer piece is always an intricate process that has somehow intimidated me because it seemed like such a difficult task that needed to be handled with care. Some designers describe their collections as their 'babies' or 'child' due to the hard work that was put into making the final product as great as it can be.
This particular fashion film enabled us all to see the emotional impact that the process of making this collection had on Raf Simons from beginning to end. It was intriguing to see the ways in he collated his ideas from various aspects of fashion, history and art as it shows that ideas can stem from all aspects of life.
There's so much to say about this film that it will require you all to watch it and experience it for yourselves. Some way, some how. Find it.

Are you a designer?
A little update on university life so far. The uni life has entailed a lot of great and memorable moments on both my course and in my personal life. But one question I always encounter is .... do you design stuff then? I usually end up laughing and smiling saying, no, no I don't.
What course is it that I Study you may ask? Fashion Communication and Promotion. Trust me when I say that its a handful to say.
The diversity of my course content intrigued me as it enables me to experience many aspects of the fashion industry, both in the creative sector and the business side of fashion such s PR, Marketing and Branding.
The course itself is quite interesting in terms of how many projects we do and how they are conducted. It enable us to really push ourselves and learn new techniques on programs such as Photoshop and surprisingly, PowerPoint.
The growth of my learning and understanding will surely increase as time progresses throughout the years, so I'm ready for whatever the journey entails.

The Colour Scheme - A/W 15
Them Days by theupgradeables featuring jogger pants
Rumour London long sleeve shirt, £115 / Topshop black jacket, £72 / Topshop jogger pants, £150 / Adidas Originals white shoes, £78
Winter for me usually entails a lot of black, white and grey. Monotone colours is simplistic and can be styled in various ways. This season was no different for me except front he fact that I'm now more of a stylish comfort dresser. This usually involves a fitted pair of jogging bottoms, polo neck top and a pair of trainers. Although, this is usually only for my 9am lectures. Being warm and comfy is incredibly essential for this season as the winter nights can be quite brutal. Nevertheless, it is nice to add a stylish piece of clothing to create the final look. For me, its usually a jacket.
Here are some of the examples that I'm loving for this season in line with my preferred colour scheme.

Jumper: Primark
Shirt: George
Jeans: Warehouse
Boots (not really seen): New Look
Adding colour to my outfits this season has been a complete myth for some reason. Black has clearly won me over. However, when I spotted this jumper in Primark, I just needed to have it. Paring it with a plain, white, crisp shirt gave it a smart yet casual look that I absolutely adored and received a lot of compliments from.
The new time zone is really not on my side as it gets so dark easily and I come home late because I usually stay in the library after school to revise. Oh well, this will have to do.
Enjoy..

As I Recently stated in my previous post, I'm an avid lover of the colour black , so I thought I'd create a look with some of the items I'm loving and hoping to purchase in the next upcoming weeks. Who says you can't wear black and look stylish?
How you all style an all black outfit?

LFW Street Style Part 1
Over the years the phenomenon of fashion week for most people has shifted to be about what kind of outfits are people putting together for the week. This year I went simply for the people. I could see a lot of trendy individuals all around Somerset House posing for the press as well as being able to see some of the people that I usually see on my computer. The best part of it all was probably being able to talk to Shope Delano from London's Closet. She is such a sweet girl and I loved taking selfie's with her, seeking advice about University, and interviewing her for my media project which I will start working on soon. I hope September id being good to you all and you're all enjoying the surprisingly good weather.
Enjoy..
P.S, I'm thinking about doing a couple of photo-shoots for my portfolio because all my University options require a portfolio viewing for acceptance. So if any photographers, hairstylists, make-up artists and model want to do a test shoot for your portfolio, provided you live in London, Essex, or near Buckinghamshire (or if you would be willing to travel to one of those locations), send me an email to: yvetteisboateng3@gmail.com

Designer Snapshot: House of Holland
For a very long time, I've loved Henry Holland's designs because they are so unique and he is really not afraid to push the boundaries. Ever since he became a mentor on Styled To Rock, I became an even bigger fan of his work AND his lovely personality. Working with him would be amazing, yes, that's the dream.
The silhouettes on some of his pieces are just great, with vibrant and original prints, his clothes are definitely stuff you need to stand out from the crowd. Might I add that his shows during London Fashion Week are always so distinctive and vibrant that you simply love it.
Have a look at his designs to understand where I'm coming from.

Monochrome
Here is just a ootd post of me just before I was going to work. I love my new job and my uniform is so cute and simple and easily something I'd wear on a daily basis so that's a plus. I literally cannot believe I'm back at school *sigh*, last year so I got to do even better this year.
On another note, I can't believe I actually managed to do my own havana twist hairstyle, it turned out better than I expected and was much quicker to do than I though. DIY hair styles from now on, much cheaper right. That's until I want to get weave done...
PS sorry for the picture overload, I just loved the pictures my brother took, he's getting so good at it.
Enjoy!
