Retro Hollywood Glamour

I thought I would show you some of my work that I have been working on over the last month in university. This project was very free range and I was able to design under my own label "Anthony Yassin Couture"

I designed a range of women's evening wear garments that will be made to measure. The range was inspired by two exhibitions that I visited "Valentino: Master of Couture" at Summerset House and the "Hollywood Costumes" at the V&A. I was so inspired by these exhibitions that I based my concept on old hollywood glamour, I wanted to design a collection around this theme, with pieces such as the little black dress and cocktail dresses. All of this would be infused by couture fashion design and fabrics, with embroidery an surface detail like hand beading. I wanted to use key elements from this concept to see the clear link in my designs, such as colour and fabric but most importantly silhouette. But i really wanted to create something new with a twist and bring this theme up to date and modern for Autumn/Winter 2014.

Sheen Of Burberry Prorsum Women's A/W2013

FANTASTIC!"Burberry Prorsum" really laid on a beautifully simply wilder collection for Autumn/Winter 2013, entitled "Trench Kisses". Keeping true its truly british heritage, by opening with traditional trench coat, But this season giving it a updated modern twist by using a semi-transparent "Sheen Fabric on this staple garment and adding a infusion of colour with the Ruby wine pallet. As the collection carried on prancing down the runway this delightful "Sheen"quality seamed to keep on popping up in different pieces of outfits.

However Christopher Bailey still seamed to have full control of the brands identity keeping it true to what Burberry stands for with colour and silhouettes, but on the other hand pushing it another direction bring something new and interesting to this long lasting label by adding transparent glossy numbers, eye catching metallic metal details with belts and collars and to finish of wild prints like leopard spots and love heart prints.

Again Burberry continued to push the boundaries of its social media hype and opened its doors and broadcast the show as it was happening to the entire world.

Disney Princesses Go High Fashion

I don't know what has took me so long to discover this illustrations! But now that I have, I think I've fell in love all over again.

Just browsing through some fashion illustration Blogs and I came across this amazing drawings of eight "Disney Princesses" I didn't think they could become more magical or beautiful.... But OH YES! fashion has given them a little make over and brought them bang up to date by gracing them with their own Vogue Front Cover. Giving them a sense of style that fits in to the modern day world that makes up the fashion industry, designing each of them an new up dated look on these previous outfit.

These Illustrations are by the illustrator Dante Tyler Brown, I am just in love with these drawing and think that they are just works of art.
