Homage to Angel Blake

I'm producing (with the help of my friend Julia) as well as designing a collection for the Threadfair 2010 Fashion Show. My four looks are based on the character Angel Blake from the 70s cult horror film The Blood on Satan's Claw. Here's a little preview of where it's headed as well as a flier my friend Mady Berry and I worked on for the event.

Phase Two: Design

So, as i said, i'm keeping you posted on the progress of our collection and here to prove it are some simple sketches of 3 of our designs. we have, from left to right, the peacock, the pheasant, and the raven. The silhouettes are fairly simple but we're adding feather accessories and other details to make them more interesting. Wednesday we're going feather and fabric shopping and we'll hopefully begin constructing the peacock!

Phase One; The Inspiration

Today i got together with my "Partner in Design" Cheslea, and we drafted a few ideas for our Thread Fair collection. Almost instantly we both agreed that the focus of the collection should be birds and we chose four birds to represent eachlook. I'm unbelievably excited and ready to get started! this will be so much fun, especially the dramatic feathers. Tomorrow i'm checking out a local fabric store for options and later this week we're going to begin sewing.
