FIRST GARMENT: GIVENCHY INSPIRED SWEATER

Our class finished certificate two in fashion design and technology early, so our lecturer suggested that we make something we have always wanted to make and he would help us make it. Immediately my brain started spinning with a million different things I had seen from the runway from Balenciaga, Givenchy to Rick Owens. Immediately I remembered seeing this cropped sweater from the mens Givenchy show in fall and spring, then I thought that it would be a perfect layering piece for winter. Immediately I looked for black fabric that would be warm enough to wear for winter because it wouldn't be a full jumper so fabric choice was essential for the practicality of this garment. A week and a half later this was the end result. At the moment it is still too warm to wear but when winter comes around, this will definitely be my winter staple piece for the season. 

STYLE INSPIRATION TUESDAY: IVANA CARPIO (LOVE-AESTHETICS)

IMAGES FROM: LOVE-AESTHETICS

This weeks style inspiration tuesday goes to minimalist fashion blogger Ivana Carpio who runs the blog love-aesthetics. If I could be friends with any blogger in the world I would want to be friends with Ivana. Like myself, her wardrobe consists of a monochromatic colour palette but her ability to play around with different textures and layering in a clean and crisp manner is what makes her one of my personal style icons. If you ever needed to know what staple pieces you need for your wardrobe/ or have an interest in minimalism  then love-aesthetics is definitely the place to go. Apart from fashion she also blogs about interiors and also makes her own projects which you can check out in her DIY section by clicking here.
