My infatuation with everything "galaxy/futuristic", isn't going to fade away anytime soon.   First: Christopher Kane. Now Setareh Mohtarez.  She's a designer based in NYC and her work combines shape, movement, texture, and color.   Her current collection is called: "Brightness Dawn" and It's amazing.  

Estoy fascinada, encantada, inspirada con todo lo "futurístico y espacial".  Primero: Christopher Kane. Ahora: Setareh Mohtarez.  Es una diseñaadora basada en Nueva York y su trabajo combina figura, movimiento, textura y color.  " Brightness Dawn" es el nombre de más reciente colección y esta increíble.

Second Semester. January 2011.

Posted by Carolina

Karl Lagerfeld's library at his studio in Paris.
I can't believe I'm already in my second semester of Fashion Design!
Estoy ya en mi segundo semestre de Diseño de Modas. No me lo creo!

January 13th, 2011.  Beginning of our second semester in Fashion Design.  Courses: Illustration I, Design I.

Enero 13, 2011.  Comienzo de nuestro segundo semestre en Diseño de Modas.  Materias: Ilustración I, Diseño I.

It being the first day and all,  we didn't do much, other than learning what is it we're going to learn in each class, what to expect and of course what materials we need to buy.   Sketch books, Fabrian Paper, Different type of pencils, markers etc.

Por ser el primer día no hicimos mucho. Consistió en Introducir las materias, enterarnos en que consiste cada una, que haremos y claro...que materiales necesitamos comprar.  Cuadernos de Bocetos, Papel Fabriano, distintos tipos de lápices, marcadores, etc. 


 We did get out first assignment though! We have to draw FIFTY croquis for Illustration I. 

Pero sí nos pusieron una tarea de Ilustración! Tenemos que dibujar CINCUENTA croquis.

The idealised figure, upon which, fashion illustrators drape their dress designs on, is also known as a “croquis.” The word “croquis” comes from the French word, meaning, “to sketch.”
The croquis is a means of communicating fashion concepts via an idealized fashion form.

La figura estética, que utilizan los Ilustradores de Moda  para cubrir sus diseños en el, es conocido como "croquis". La palabra "croquis" proviene de la palabra francesa, y significa "Boceto".

El croquis es un medio para comunicar conceptos de moda via una figura idealizada de moda.

I know this semester will be even more hectic than the last, but I am SO excited :)  Now, some picture inspiration that makes me want to develop some mad Illustration Skills.

Estoy segura de que este semestre será mucho mas trabajoso que el pasado, pero estoy emocionada! :)  Ahora, las dejó con algunas fotos que me inspiran a desarrollar mis habilidades de Ilustradora.

Christopher Kane meets Bowie

Christopher Kane Resort 2011
Soundtrack: Space Oddity by David Bowie (Click to listen)


 And I'm floating in a most peculiar way 


And the stars look very different today 


Here am I floatin' 'round my tin can far above the world 
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do 


Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still


 And I think my spaceship knows which way to go




Look at the fabric...look at it. No seriously.... look at it!. I am mesmerized.  Its beautiful.

Does anyone have $3500 dollars to spare?
