a project that i have been given consists of me acting as though i work for a company of my own choice, preferably a company that i would like to work with one day, and creating products for the company/promoting them the way that the company do through photography.

i chose agent provocateur, and through research, realised that they didn't really have many garters to offer. quick doodles shown in the scan above started off my design process, which then led to CAD designs using illustrator (which took forever to do).

i composed moodboards, drawing, and several different garter designs until i was happy with one, which i then went on to photograph.

shooting the accessories was so fun! i got a room in liverpool's hilton hotel and my friend brought so much lingerie with her! she gave me exactly what i was asking for with the shoot, and i couldn't have chosen a better model (images are blurred or blacked out because she doesn't really want them on the internet).

after everything was completed, images were edited and such, i had to design and make packaging for the accessories, but this also had to look quite agent provocateur-ish.

pillow boxes.

they were the perfect idea! i made them out of light pink card, almost identical to the brands pink, and wrapped my accessories in black tissue paper for a more profesh effect.

the final part of the project was to get started on an e-portfolio containing inspiration and snippets of work from over the past year of my degree. issuu.com is a pretty great site for creating online documents, magazines and portfolio's seem to be most popular on the website, and since i like the way the site works, i went with it! i've chosen my favourite page from my portfolio so far, containing a picture of myself wearing a choker made by me (in 5 minutes) and then edited in all different ways!

i hope whoever reads this enjoyed my ramblings on about fashion work, deadline day is tomorrow and i hate giving my work away for marking!!!

thank you for reading!
