Everytime I need a change I always go for dyeing my hair a different color. I often get bored of my hair so I like to change it frequently. I think the color blue is my top favorite. This is my third time getting blue hair color. I must admit that dyeing your hair can be addicting at times and I'm a bit obssessed with it. Oh well ^^

As soon as the weather got warmer, I had to take out my spring clothes and combine some of them in this outfit. I've never been a fan of plaid shirts, but this one caught my eye right away and I had to buy it. The corset underneath is vintage (I think) and it looks cute combined with high waisted jeans. Oh and I'm wearing my favorite hat again, because it looks fabulous, I can't help it.

During the process of creating the collection "Escape", I was thinking about making it wearable and appropriate for certain occasions. Some of the questions I asked myself were "Who's going to wear it?", "Would it be comfortable?', "Is it going to be casual or high fashion?", but the most important question for me was "Would I wear the clothes?".
When I create, I want the clothes to suit every body type, not just tall and skinny models. That's why I decided to take some photos where I wear my own designs in order to show that the dresses are made to look amazing no matter what body type you have and what size you are. I always make sure that I would wear the items I make and that they are versatile so women with different clothing styles can combine them in their outfits.

The first dress is one of my favorites because it's simple, but once you put it on, it looks stunning. Of course it is made to be worn at night, probably on some occasions where you need to be dressed up a bit more. It is made out of stretchy fabric and that makes it very comfortable fto wear. The roses on the bottom part are hand-sewn and they make the dress look very elegant and rich.

In the previous post I've showed you my drawings and now it's time for the final products. My main inspiration for this collection was the night sky and the forest at night time. The second inspiration was Gothic Lolita style which is a Japanese clothing style. The designs give off a dark gothic vibe and they are made to look high fashion and couture-like. I made all of the patterns and dresses at home with the help of my mom. I've used a few different fabrics and a lace trim. One of the tops is hand painted and all of the other details are hand sewn. The collection was made for my final diploma work at university and some of the designs were shown at the university fashion show last year. The dresses are made for girls who are more on the dark side and they are not afraid to stand out of the crowd while keeping their look very elegant and sophisticated. 

All of the photos are taken by Stefani Pavlovska ( FB: P.S. Photography ; IG: instagram.com/ps_photography.mk ) at her studio and she also modelled for the last two dresses on this post. 

The first model is the beautiful Olivera Mladenovska . Go follow her blog visualmadness.blogspot.mk and like her fb page Visual Madness

The process of creating a fashion collection is quite long and it requires a lot of research before sketching the designs. It takes a lot of time getting your ideas and thoughts out of your own head and projecting them onto paper. The first idea might not be the final one and your mindset changes frequently. I began doing fashion illustrations since I was very little and models wearing clothes has always been my favorite thing to draw. I tend to draw the design first and then make it come to life by making patterns and choosing fabrics that would make it look as close as possible to the sketch. That is just my process of creating my designs. Here are 10 of the illustrations created for my collection called "Escape" and you'll see some of the clothes I made in the next post. All of them are hand drawn using black pen, marker, colored pencils and watercolors and then scanned. I hope you like them.
