boiled wool & long johns

after speaking to David P he had the really interesting idea of incorporating long johns &
boiled wool jumpers into my collection

i absolutely love the idea & think it works really well with the initial concept of my collection

the mix of Scottish tweed, boiled wool, fine knit jersey, wax cotton & washed silk could be quite interesting

toile development

development from my first toile, a short back to front jacket

i changed the darts & incorporated a
dropped sleeve which i'm not too keen on so might change it back to a normal sleeve or maybe a raglan

i'm currently working on the layers that will go underneath the jacket
i'm thinking a really long sleeved thermal dress with a fine knit wool jumper over that

i really like the idea of layers & odd proportions

because i love lomography

working on the stand

using odd proportions in an outfit

using a unisex pajama trouser block to

create a loose, slouchy & boyish fit, I

added pleats to create some shape at the

waist

the use of no side seams gives the trousers

an interesting edge
