FIDM "Scholarship Competition" 2010 (Designs)

Although FIDM (The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) is not my first choice in a Fashion education, I am going to try and win this competition for a one-year scholarship worth $23,000 to FIDM in Los Angles. I am entering the Fashion Design Project. Here are two of the designs I am entering, my inspiration and overall mood for the required seven piece collection is the Eighties, Grace Jones, Masculine-Tailoring, Skirt Suits, etc.

Roksanda Ilincic F/W 10 RTW (Collections)

Roksanda Ilincic's collection for London Fashion Week was superb, a variation in colors, subtle neutrals, aqua greens, and burgundies, pinks, oh and of course, fur fur fur! Draped fabrics, and couture applique were major influences in the collection. Ilincic's collection always portrays a sophisticated women. The collection is Ready-To-Wear, but I think it deserves a title "Haute Couture". I have seen couture shows that don't even measure up to Ilincic. Ilincic understands the movement of body, for example the flow in the draped satins. The minute details in the fabric manipulation and couture detailing. The cut of the coats and sleeves are so refined and beautiful, the hair crimped and voluminous. Altogether this collection was one of my personal favorites for London Fashion Week of 2010.
