So, after two and a half years of hard work, Here is a preview of what's to come August 16 2014. Finally!!! SHARE IT Tweet

The suit I dreaded to make. All I heard about suits was that it was super difficult to make. And I mean, it was a general pattern we were making, no specific design details. The only think we could choose to make some sort of statement was the fabrication and haberdasheries. In other words, fabric and buttons, threads, lining, etc.

Martinique, Eljo, Claudine, Marcelle, Me, Izak, Anna-Mart and Lena-Lisa So the first task we were given, for this year's Fashion Photography class, was, in a group of 7 (!) to create a lookbook with the theme: "COLOUR BLOCK".

Elizabeth Galloway Alumni ready for the Cluster at Simonsberg. (Me - Second from right) So 2013 already started, and January is over! O-M-G, and I didn't even find time to a proper Christmas post and New Year welcoming post. It's been hectic.

As some of you may know, I am a current 1st year (almost finished!!!) Alumni at the Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design , and am absolutely LOVING every second of it. Learn more the Academy here , and my story here .If you are in South Africa (or are planning to move here) and plan to enroll for next year, RUN! The time is now and you might still get a spot for next year! Anyway, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Africa has started, and a former Elizabeth Galloway Alumni, Kim Gush , presented her range on the Fasttrack section, yesterday, 24th October 2012. Take a look!

Hey guys!! Thought I'd share my second Garment Construction project - Fitted shorts . I finished those Monday, after a very busy week, and I am very proud of them. First, the Front look...  And the Back...

Hey guys Thought I'd share a couple of pictures I have taken for my photography class, with my roommate Natalie. I absolutely love them. Enjoy, and discuss. Mingas SHARE IT Tweet

Hi guys, sorry for the delay, its incredibly hard to find time to do the blogging thing. Take a look at some more pictures from Design Indaba 2012. That's me at the Elizabeth Galloway Stand.

So my fashionable people, How have you been? I missed posting for you, for me, and for my own sanity. Life's quite hectic at the moment, as my life had a 180 degrees change, from whats I dreamed to what is my reality. From my participation in Mozambique Fashion Week in last December , as you know, I have won a spectacular opportunity to study fashion design in one of the Top Fashion Academies in South Africa. Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design. I am more than excited about this, it's like I'm constantly dreaming...
