Louis Vuitton AW12 Campaign

Shot by Steven Meisel, the Louis Vuitton AW12 campaign invites us into the nostalgic world of glamorous old school train travel. The sepia tinged photographs show off the colour story and overtly embellished bags off perfectly, setting the tone of the campaign. The campaign stayed true to the vision portrayed at the catwalk show. The models were escorted off of a Louis Vuitton train by uniformed porters carrying their luggage.

Dsquared AW12 RTW Campaign

Daphne Groeneveld, Bette Franke, Liuk Bass, Simon van Meervenne and Frida Aasen head back to school for the Dsquared2 Autumn/Winter 2012 campaign shot by Mert & Marcus.
The campaign with art direction by Giovanni Bianco is styled by Katie Grand with hair by Paul Hanlon, make-up by Charlotte Tilbury.

I love the "too cool for school" attitude to the campaign.

Making My Skirt

From my designs I decided to make a skirt which looked like it was cracked. The shape is simple but I feel like it captures my theme. I decided to use knitted wire for the cracked parts then used wax and pearls on the fabric to give it the bumpy texture my egg sculptures had.

I cut out the shapes using brown paper, then pinned these shapes onto half a skirt I used as a pattern to make my skirt from.

I then knitted lengths of wire and stitched them onto the pieces of material, which took forever!

I sewed both halves of the skirt then sewed them together leaving a bit open at the left hand side so the garment can open and close. I attached two pieces of wire that I put pearls onto to either side of the opening. To close the skirt you just wrap the two pieces of wire together.

I then poured the wax and pearls onto the pieces of the skirt in peach and lemon to match my colour story. I had to put tinfoil between the skirt to stop the sides sticking together.
