More Fall/Winter 2023 & A Free Class
Paris fashion week has come to a close so for anyone who’s interested in creating their own clothing it’s time to be inspired and look ahead to what you’ll be making.
The designers featured showed some amazing clothing including pieces that can be developed into up-cycling projects. If you fancy having a go, we're making a really simple take on a Bottega Jodie bag this week, details below...
Check out vogue.com to see all the collections.
Loewe FW23
A streamlined collection focusing on individual pieces. This idea of the perfect capsule, fewer items creating more outfits, is something we can all take on and apply to our wardrobes
Victoria Beckham FW23
Victoria Beckham, always so much noise around her celebrity but the clothes are really very good
Maison Ullens F/W23
Maison Ullens is a Belgian label that’s less well known in the UK, what’s great about this collection is that it’s based around the idea of a capsule, again, fewer items to create more outfits.
Vivienne Westwood F/W23
Vivienne Westwood’s Paris Fashion Week show was an emotional tribute to her and to some of her greatest work. The closing bridal look was modelled by her grand-daughter.
Deconstructed Denim
Deconstructed denim skirts featured in many collections – images from Stella McCartney and Victoria Beckham.
Free Class - Make a Mini Jodie!
