After Hours






Above, you can see pictures of two headbands and one clutch bag that I have made. I used a black and white colour scheme as I knew I was going to create something bold and outrageous. The purpose of these headbands is to make the wearer look daring and extravagant.

We've Got The Funk

Two of models looking funky and hip. This picture is said to remind a few of the Austin Powers film 'Goldmember'. 

Sophie Champion modelling halterneck top and flared trouser outfit. Styled with over-sized gold loop earrings, gold pumps and Versace sunglasses. The casual look.


Heather, wearing the wide neck, rusty orange mini-dress with chiffon flared sleeves, styled with knee high socks, clog shoes (popular in the 1970's). Again over-sized jewellery; with loop earrings and 'flower power' ring and blonde afro wig. 


Last but not least, the signature outfit. Modelling by Anisha Roberts. Again, a bare back, triangular halterneck attached to skinny flare high-waiste trousers. Styled with a customised gold chain, over-sized gold loop earrings, afro wig and black court shoes. 


Clare Hodgkin is the 'Signature outfit' in the private exhibition show. Rocking it I must say. 

All three girls backstage.
A collection that I designed and created, inspired by the 1970's. I knew I wanted to create something that will get peoples hearts pounding, I wanted something that would bring back some great memories. I wanted something colourful and eccentric; the 1970's seemed so perfect. I chose four fabrics, all with that rusty orange in. I chose 2 patterned fabrics, however not going with a 70's pattern, I chose something contemporary to add my own twist. Still managing to get that 1970's image across. I chose all the accessories and it all came together perfectly.
