Model - Chloe
Photography - Meredith Frances Lynch

An absolutely divine fashionista friend of mine,Chloe agreed to pose for some shots for for a styling competition. My chosen theme was "Prints & Metallics" so I DEFINITELY wanted her flaunting her golden harem pants. Just stunning.

I was very lucky to have my treasure of a friend & very gifted artist Meredith Frances Lynch take the photos for me. Her very gifted eye captured the look brilliantly. You can find out more about Meredith & her works here - http://www.artbylynch.blogspot.com/

Screening of "The Dessert Society" at Pocketbar, Darlinghurst, Sydney

Last night Pocketbar hosted a screening of Marta's short film "The Dessert Society". Friends, family, the cast and crew all came along (only person missing was MARTA!! Stuck in LDN though.) for what was an amazing night filled with lots of love, happiness and good times.

So proud of everyone for such a amazing achievement!

Finally with Fashion Illustration.

So had my final class in Fashion Illustration. Our assignment was to sketch and paint a full fashion figure, A3 size within the class time so we could see how far we'd come. I still have to finish her dress and jacket but it's pretty much done, so I'll share it with you all!

Painted Lady.

She's only half done. I will post another pic when I'm finished her...at the moment I've added a leopard print body suit and fishnets and of course she has my hair ; )

Out & About...to the Bruno Benini Exhibition

It was my birthday this week! A friend and I took in the exquisite sights at the Bruno Benini photpgraphy exhibition at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. Unfortunately I could only take some snaps with my iPhone so they are grainy but you get the gist. This was an absolutely breaktaking exhibition which surpassed the 80s exhibition and Frockstars exhibitions we also took in that day there.

It was meant to of finished on 15 August so you can imagine our delight when we discovered it still open, with only a couple of other punters wandering about. If you have a chance, GET THERE. Or check out my grainy pics. He is a treasure with an amazing eye.

Learning Face.

Second lesson, we did the FACE! I still want to work on this quite a bit! Doing a large face is far easier than the fiddly heads on the fashion figure which are often little bigger than 4cm long.

We also learnt how to do hair...naturally I asked the teacher to show me how to do my haircut...because it's simply the most amazing do ever.

My first sketch.

Ah what a momentous occassion. Whilst words never fail me, my ability to put ideas onto paper in a creative and art-like form do...hence me taking this class! So I was pretty happy that my first sketch resembled a person! But of course, a long way to go! Got to start somewhere....

Lesson One....Fashion Illustration - Bardy gets schooled.

I began my course in Fashion Illustration last night, taught by this amazing woman, Michelle Ker who also runs the course in the UTS program. Completely enamoured by this it is intense, well for someone like myself who struggles to place what's in my magical mind onto that vast expanse they call the "blank page".

I know I will have to do lots and lots of practising but I am really enjoying it so far. We have learnt how to draw the front figure and the three quarter figure. I have included two examples on here that our teacher drew, will have to get some copies of my attempts and post them too!

One surprising note is that you really have to visualise the human anatomy, really think how a body moves and it put together. The different segments, the bones, the flexible parts, the limbs. Everything in proportion.

Favourite quote from teacher - "These heels are higher than any human would wear but this is fashion". We love this.

Got my hair did!

Love for Greg the hair & make up artist I'm working with for the Forced Perspective boys. Played around with my hair...I loved it but he thought I fiddled too much with it after ha ha can't help myself!
