Halloween , the new christmas...



I have a real passion for fashion , but I also would like to get some more experience in make up artistry , I love Halloween and always go all out for it , here is just a few of my attempts at make up . Hopefully when I have my degree in Fashion i can pay attention to doing some make up artistry ... which will be a great skill to add ! 






Creepy doll make up 

Clown and zombie make up done by me 


.
 Two face .. one of my favorites, i even put paint in my hair ... not a good idea



.
I did this make up for my friends photo shoot , i was very happy with the outcome of the photos , the fact I did the make up in the dark 






These were me trying out my ripped garter legs for the Dublin zombie walk 

A STITCH IN TIME....


I really have a passion for knit and like to somehow incorporate it into all my projects .... 
                                        Here are just a few designers who inspire my love and approach to knit.

Samantha Brooke





Spinal cord and antomical-inspired shapes... 



                          

Heewon Park


 The delicate knits were really pushed to the brink here as some were ultra ultra translucent...





Sorcha O Raghallaigh

I found this amazing romantic designer over the summer , To my surprise she went to the same college as where i am going now.... So there is hope for me too (fingers crossed )

Her work is beautiful and feminine ... A girl after my own heart .

Stine Ladefoged


I only came across this knit designer in the last month ...  Fell in love straight away ! 


              
   Stine Ladefoged is a Danish brand founded
    in 2009 by designer Stine Ladefoged after
    she graduated from Danmarks Designskole.
    Knitwear and jersey garments made with
    Scandinavian simplicity and innovative
    detailing, are the key words for Stine
    Ladefoged's collections.

    The detailing come to life through both
    draping and experimenting with different
    techniques on the knitting machine.
    She works with combining different gauges,
    such as fine gauge and bulky gauge to
    get more variation in the volume and
    structure of the knit.
    The materials are high quality yarns and
    fabrics with wool as one of the absolut
    favourites.
