here is the second toile for my dress, (i'll post pictures of the range once i've done the illustrations).

i've got work early early tomorrow, so it's bedtime for me.

i'll make a good post soon, with more pictures and words and all.

 with love, k.

i'm back at school and we're already getting deep into the design process. or rather we took it in one elephant sized pill and we're already onto pattern making.

i'll post some picture of the latest venture soon.

my mother bought me a book today: how to set-up and run a fashion label.

it's full of useful information and encased in a pretty cover.

so with any luck i can get k-sul further underway before i graduate.

all my love,

k.

weather report.

i remember someone asked me the other day what i thought the next big style would be after the whole indie/hipster thing becomes extinct, or 'passe' rather. i think you can see elements of a new direction already blossoming. people are getting bored again. i think it will be some kind of austere mash-up of 90's punk goth with the old minimalist chic stirred in for good measure. i think the colour palette is going to darken and mature. more greys and moss greens and eggplants and maroons. paler skin, darker lips, monotonous hair.
and after that? personally i can see the whole 60's space age thing coming back, except more tailored, more wearable, less pvc.
whatever ends up taking the streets by storm i'm excited.
i'm tired of skinny jeans and plaid shirts.

with love,
k.

the ute-suit | sustainable redesign.

and here are the promised photos.

tomorrow is my last day of semester. it's been a quickquickquick semester but oh-oh-oh-so-long.

i'm not sure if i want to make too many plans for the break. i'd like to make some of the designs that have been sitting on my chest. my fingers are itchy, but my sewing machine is a piece of crap.

and i'll covert my cad designs to pdfs and upload them too for you to see.

everything it takes to get along.

sorry my love,
i've been neglectful.
it's nearing the end of semester, so i promise some proper posts once i'm on break.

since being here last i've gotten an internship with one of my favorite labels, which i'll begin in june.
and on wednesday my school had a sustainability fair, where i won the re-design competition.
i'll post pictures and the like in a few days. or maybe even later tonight.

right now i'm going to sew a skirt and listen to surfer blood,

all my love,
k
