Result

Well after searching the internet for my wire, i ordered some what i thought was the right stuff, recieved it in the post and unfortunately its the wrong one. :-( but all is not lost, i took a shopping trip to the local hardware store and found some wire, it is not exactly what i had planned to use, turns out its better, delighted!!!! Everything happens for a reason.

Tim Ryan will be our mentor for this years nokia awards, i spoke to him on the phone and have emailed him with questions, he has been very helpful. It is really great to get advice off an established deisgner!

Dilema!!!

I have my fabric, i have had it for months, it has come all the way from New York and India, but the wire that i need is sold out, i have rang around literally all the arts and crafts shops in Ireland, with none having any. AAAAAHhh Going to start searching the internet and try order some. 

I got the call, how exciting, i am over the moon!!!! I got picked as a finalist for the Nokia Young Fashion Designer Awards 2009. This blog will keep you informed of my progression right up to the finals on the 25th March. 

You maybe wondering what this is all about? Over the last couple of months i have been developing a design that represents the new Nokia Supernova phones. There are four phones in total  - the 7210, 7310, 7510 and 7610. They are stylish, innovative with customizable X-press on front and back covers that are different colours and surfaces. These phones have been the inspiration for my designs which will be featured in the NYFDA 2009 in March. 

                                             

The design has been chosen and through this blog i will show you the development from drafting the pattern, making the toile to the finshed garment. 

Feel free to leave comments or ask me any questions about this design or competition, or infact anything to do with fashion, i will only be too happy to answer!
