Back!

First of all: Happy New Year all! Hope you all had a blast celebrating this new beginning and have rested enough to start 2011.


Having said that, we are happy to announce that our lazyness vacation is over as well. We will be posting regularly, as much as we can. :D


However this post has to do with last year. Just wanted to show you guys what we learned in our 1st semester in our Fashion Design career. 
We made not One but TWO clothing masterpieces: a shirt and a skirt. But let me warn you guys, the style is rather old fashioned (extremely old) because the pattern, well the design was created by our dear teacher, whom I hope I will NOT see her anytime soon. And please don't laugh, its my first ever piece cut and sewn by me (not taking into consideration the Barbie dresses I've made when I was a kid).

Pardon me, it is not ironed. Though to tell you the truth it doesn't really make any difference because I sewed it wrong or something.

The skirt is behind, it is a long (10 inches below the knee) classic/office skirt that hopefully no one uses anymore?.

This is the size of our portfolio. What we have learned this semester, all pasted there.

One of the pages. From top to bottom: a belt, a ribbon, buttons wrapped in chiffon and last but not least, a flower (looks better from the top view, but since it's pasted :( ).

So there you have it. The results of our 1st semester.

Thoughts?

Lanvin for H&M

The wait is almost done! Only 3 more days to go before Lanvin's H&M collection comes out. (November 2nd) How awesome is this! and yet sad because we cannot order online : ( , well at least not straight from H&M. They should put on an online shop.

Alber Elbaz, the designer of Lanvin, has created this sophisticated chick, floral pattern bold black color dresses for H&M. Love them all! Beautiful designs, and a bit more than what you would usually pay for an H&M dress, but hey! Its Lanvin and it's a higher end clothing line, but no more than US$100. Isn't that GREAT?


La espera casi termina! Sólo 3 días mas para que la línea de Lanvin en H&M salga. (2 de Noviembre) Qué emoción! a la misma vez triste porque no lo podemos pedir online : ( , bueno por lo menos no directamente de H&M. Ellos deberían de poner un shop online.


Alber Elbaz, el diseñador para Lanvin, ha creado vestido con el look sofisticado y femenino, con diseños florales o simplemente negro. AMO a toditos! Bellos diseños y bueno un poco más caro de lo usual para un vestido de H&M, pero bueno! es Lanvin y es más superior que lo usual. Les prometo que no sobrepasa de US$100. No es esto estupendo?

Hot Hot Hot!

Wishing I could be in the States to buy them. :(
Deseando que estuviera en Estados Unidos para poder comprarlos. :(

Carlos de Moya at Dominicana Moda 2010

Hi all! Just wanted to share with you guys one of our acclaimed designers of Dominican Republic, Carlos de Moya. I was lucky to have assisted his fashion show at Dominicana Moda 2010.
This year concept's was PULOWI, about primitive and beautiful woman. All designs were very detailed with accessories, they gave a very fresh feeling, free and relaxing. Well since the concept also includes beach (because we live in an island), he used a lot of shells, fishing nets and light fabrics. I personally LOVED it! I am going to randomly choose some pictures since I can't put every single one, hopefully you will like it as much as I do!

Hola todos! Quiero compartir con ustedes uno de nuestros famosos diseñadores de República Dominicana, Carlos de Moya. Tuve la suerte de presenciar la pasarela en Dominicana Moda 2010. 
El concepto de este año era PULOWI, mujer primigenia y bella. Todos los diseños eran detallados con accesorios, daban un sentido fresco, liberado y relajado. Bueno, como el concepto también incluía playa (porque vivimos en una isla), el utilizó muchas conchas, mallas de pescar y telas ligeras. Personalmente a mi me FASCINÓ! Voy a seleccionar algunas fotos al azar para ponerlas aquí ya que no puedo poner cada uno, espero que a ustedes les guste tanto como a mí me gusta!

Which one you like best?

So hard to choose!

Cuál te gustó mas?

Qué difícil de escoger!

Day 5.

Hi all! 

Today was our 5th day at our Fashion Design Journey and it's been fun although a bit tiring because we have all these homework from Marketing and this. But there's nothing compared to artistic homework. I mean, it doesn't even feel like homework and I enjoy whatever they tell us to do, it is a fun challenge. 

So, today at Sewing class, we finally practiced sewing with the thread! (Yay!) We were supposed to sew straight parallel lines, but mine came out a bit off, unmeasured. 

Hola todos!
Hoy fue nuestro 5to día en el programa de Diseño de Moda y debo decir que ha sido muy divertido pero a la misma vez un poco cansante porque tenemos tareas de Mercadeo y esto. Pero no hay nada comparado a tareas artísticas. Osea, nisiquiera se siente como tarea y disfruto de cualquier cosa que me piden, es un desafío divertido.


Entonces, hoy en clase de Costura, finalmente practicamos a coser con el hilo! (Yay!) Se supone que debiamos de cocer líneas rectas y paralelas a cada una. A mi me salió raro, tengo que practicar más.

Obviously I still need to practice.

Obviamente aun necesito practicar más.

I must admit that I am a little bit disappointed because we didn't do much today. There was this practice at the Sewing Class, but the other, Pattern Class, was Boring.  

Here's a picture of my Hand. Drawn by me :) 

It's a homework for Thursday, but wanted to share it with you all. 

Debo adminitir que estuve un poco decepcionada porque no hicimos mucho hoy. Estaba la práctica de Costura, pero el otro, Patrón era aburrido.

Aquí está una foto de mi mano, dibujado por mi. 

Es una tarea para el Jueves, pero queria compartirlos con uds.

Here is one of four.

Aquí está uno de cuatro.

I will see if I should post the others. Oh, what's in the fingers are lines that guides us to draw the hand easier. 

Voy a ver si pongo los demas. Oh, y lo que está dentro de los dedos son como "guías" para guiarnos del patrón.

Can Not wait for Thursday,

No puedo esperar más para que llegue Jueves,

Spray-on clothing!

Now this is really something!

Wouldn't it be easier for us to just spray our clothing? and also design the pattern we want, then if we don't like the shirt or blouse, whatever we designed, to recycle it?

This is very creative. Thanks to the scientist!

Now, when is this coming out?

Fingers crossed that it wouldn't be expensive!

Esto de veras que es algo!
No sería más fácil para nosotros sólo tener que spray nuestra ropa? y también podríamos hacer nuestros propios diseños, y luego si no nos gusta la camisa o blusa o lo que sea que diseñemos, poder reciclarlo?
Esto es muy creativo. Gracias a los científicos!
Ahora, cuando esto saldrá a las ventas?
Crucen sus dedos para que no sea caro!
