When we started this blog we had intentions of it being the sidecar to our motorbike (uni), but until this post we've failed to really get the motorbike out of the garage and the sidecars been freewheeling. So we're working towards completing a foundation degree in fashion and costume, at first we thought a foundation degree sounded a bit of a cop out compared to a straight forward degree, however it really isn't... in our opinion its a cheaper alternative to being in a class of 30+ people. We're in a class of 11 and we get smothered by our tutor, the tutor and other teachers are passionate, supportive and a wee bit loopy. For our first module we've been working on a project with George, Asda which is a massive opportunity because we never expected to be working closely with industry so soon. we've been given a brief to design a collection for spring/summer 14 our sundae girl trend is based on a pastel palette with plenty of floral's and gingham.

Thanks to our project pastels and gingham have been the centre of our world and for this post the centre of our wardrobe...

A few weeks ago we stubbled across the amazing illustrator that is Lottie and noticed that she will draw you if you simply tag her in your favourite picture. She has a beautiful style of illustrating and this is what she presented us with within just a couple of days of asking (the girl works fast) haha.
Thanks again Lottie.
Visit Lotties Instagram and check out all her wonderful illustrations.

We've been slacking...with a good excuse though,we've been fast tracked to a foundation degree in fashion and costume! 

So this week we've been consumed with all things relating to the course plus Chelsey's been hit with the mother of all colds. So with a runny nose and temptations of blowing an overdraft we've made it through the week,during our first week we were introduced to our modules and made a trip to Coventry uni to get an insight into our optional third year, the place is pumping out some major talent! feeling overwhelmed we were thrown into a hat making exercise using paper, we pulled through using origami techniques. The both of us are mega excited about getting stuck into the course but fretting also...we'll keep you updated and try to include our projects on the blog.
