RED RIDING HOOD - COLLECTION ON THE CATWALK

My Red Riding Hood collection backstage at the fashion show and on the catwalk!

There not finished yet but still wearable :)

RED RIDING HOOD FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS

My two rough sketches of the two garments I'm making for Red Riding Hood.

I still have yet to create a background and finalise the illustrations.

OUTFIT 2 (FUR JACKET) - RED RIDING HOOD

An image of my fur jacket pattern pieces on the fabric.

Then below is a front and back view of the fur jacket

(which is unfinished at this stage)

This fur is difficult to work with as it gets everywhere and it's thick to cut!

It's good quality and is giving me the perfect look to my jacket.

I brought it from www.fauxthrow.com

FAUX FUR

For my negotiated project in my final year at college I have decided to go along with the theme of Red Riding Hood. Every version of the tale includes the big bad wolf so I feel I need to include an aspect of the wolf within my collection. This has led me on the hunt for some really good quality faux fur!

Finally I have come across http://www.fauxthrow.com/! There are many faux fur selections available, from ready made throws, clothing, gifts and fabric by the metre. The throw company give you the opportunity to order swatches of the fabric, so I ordered 6 swatches of faux fur that was either wolf or looked wolfy!

My swatches were delivered to me a few days later and I am very impressed with the quality of each one.

Here are some pics of my swatches!
