Welcome back guys!
So two weeks ago I, along with my former classmates showcased our portfolio collections at BMEX (Barbados Manufacturer's Exhibition).
Now anyone that studies fashion design knows how absolutely amazing portfolio day feels! As you take your walk out on that stage, feeling nothing but relief, knowing that all your hard work paid off, you begin to reminisce on the tiresome nights, the feelings of doubt and the endless hours behind a machine and then you realise, it's all over. Though the moment came and went, I learnt a great lesson and as obvious as it may sound, I learnt that I should never give up, lol ridiculous I'm now learning this, I know.
My collection, Nouveau Renee is based on the theory of self
and inspired by my interpretation of the art nouveau art style if it were a
form of fashion. Nouveau means new, something that is modern and fresh and I
really wanted to portray this in my designs by giving a contemporary feel to
the runway. I used my middle name, Renee to incorporate my theory of self.
I have a love for
risque, sexy and confident clothing and I really saw it important to represent
this in my pieces.
However, the below post is just a stylised version of my
collection where we wanted to show you guys how we would style some pieces from
my collection

| I'm wearing Nouveau Renee's all in one, leather neck collar and pants. My sheer jacket was made by me but it isn't a piece from my collection and somehow it suited so perfectly ! |
Thanks for viewing, stay blessed x.
Love, V x Lanie.
