<b>Introduction to Handbag Design</b><br />
<i>August 15-19, 10:00-16:00 <br />
</i>This one week course provides the opportunity to learn about the handbag design process - from sketching out your ideas, to choosing materials, to designing a range of bags and finally producing your own handbag block.<br />
<br />
This is an excellent opportunity to use your ideas and skills under the tutoring of Ann Saunders, who has extensive experience in the fashion industry. As design co-ordinator for Laura Ashley she specialised in accessories and was also responsible for styling, arranging shoots, staging fashion shows and the mail order catalogue. Anne is also a visiting lecturer at the London College of Fashion and runs her own accessories company.<br />

<br />
<b>Introduction to Designing Shoes</b><br />
<i>August 22-26, 10:00-16:00<br />
</i>We all love shoes- but where do all those fabulous styles come from?<br />
This introductory course takes you through the fascinating history of footwear from the bejewelled pumps of Elizabeth I to the bejewelled pumps of Jimmy Choo.<br />
<br />
We will look at how shoes are made and learn how to design and illustrate our own ideas. The course ends with a practical design exercise following the stages taken by professional designers to produce a range of shoes. This will include illustrations and 3D mock-ups. Lead by Chris Hill who has been designing shoes for over twenty years, some of her students are now household names – Jimmy Choo, Emma Hope and Patrick Cox.Fashion and Textile Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13651939062397655069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671399894577187849.post-83176626251218888182011-07-25T12:00:00.001+01:002011-07-25T12:35:17.306+01:00Wedding Bell SwoonIf you know me at all, you know I am addicted to wedding blogs. From my hours spent clicking through pages of 5-tiered wedding cakes and embossed invitations, I already know I want peony and hydrangea bouquets, 3 bridesmaids in tea length dresses, and Veuve Clicquot champagne served in crystal flutes at my reception. Dream big right? And yes, I might be a tad ahead of myself. But one thing I have not nailed down is the wedding dress. Oh and Mr. Right… <br />
<br />
What about something vintage inspired? <br />
<br />
A traditional black tailcoat with gray and black pinstriped pants for him? <br />
<br />
And a flowy ivory organza gown with delicate pleats for me? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d7AdLq0ltq8/Ti1L_nwQC3I/AAAAAAAAAQI/mGxycMr2spg/s1600/wedding.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d7AdLq0ltq8/Ti1L_nwQC3I/AAAAAAAAAQI/mGxycMr2spg/s400/wedding.JPG" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Just like Christopher Vane Percy’s classic morning suit designed by Tommy Nutter and Lady Linda Grosvenor’s ethereal dress by Zandra Rhodes when they were married at the Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair in 1973. <br />

<br />
<br />
The black and white jacket, trousers, and bow tie were a key look in his 1984 “I’m Still Standing Tour.” And he could not have looked more dapper. Nutter produced a whole iconic wardrobe of suits for Sir John’s tour. Check out Elton sporting Tommy Nutter’s two-toned masterpiece singing one of my favorites “Bennie and the Jets” live at Wembley Arena. <br />

Plaid wool jacket and wool patchwork vest<br />
Loaned by Neil Sedaka</i><br />
<br />
The two peices could be worn fabulously either apart or together. Wouldn't the patchwork colors and patterns on the vest look charming with a light blue oxford shirt, navy trousers, and brown loafers? Helloooo handsome! Even with two complex patterns on the jacket, the neutral colors make it a staple in any stylish gentlemen's fall wardrobe.<br />
<br />
This Tommy Nutter masterpeice may even inspire me to invest in something plaid and patchwork for my man!

I’m Landis, the new social media intern for the Fashion and Textile Museum. There’s a lot happening here at the FTM and we need some help getting the word out.<br />
<br />
I’m a southern girl from the University of Georgia (in a land far far away -- actually only 8 miserable hours on a plane) itching to get my hands dirty in the marketing and fashion industries.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HFFvs9slkuI/Tg70hygXHYI/AAAAAAAAAMo/M6iLCV1V4bQ/s1600/181861_10100472112564483_5255599_67024135_4042290_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="280" width="228" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HFFvs9slkuI/Tg70hygXHYI/AAAAAAAAAMo/M6iLCV1V4bQ/s320/181861_10100472112564483_5255599_67024135_4042290_n.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
I just started with the FTM, and I am excited to help expand their use of social media to alert more people about what the FTM offers. Of course I don’t exactly know where to start and need your help. Most importantly, visit the Fashion and Textile Museum if you have any interest in fashion, textiles or jewellery!<br />
<br />
We’ll be utilizing Facebook, Twitter, and maybe a couple of blogs – but be sure to send me your ideas. Mind the gap y’all, I’m about to blow up your newsfeed.<br />
<br />
I may not be a city girl, but boy do I love fashion -- anything and everything about it. The FTM is the perfect place to take a peek into contemporary fashion exhibits, learn more about the fashion industry by taking a FTM-sponsored workshop, or shop the FTM store for collections from up and coming designers. There’s even a great little restaurant (The Teapod) serving up a vibrant menu of goodies throughout the day. You should taste their quiches, they are always sooo good Have I mentioned I love working here yet?<br />
<br />
The FTM is located in the coolest building right in the middle of fashionable Bermondsey Village. The building was designed by Ricardo Legorreta and is painted pink, orange, and blue – capturing the flavour of the area. <br />
<br />

Our current exhibition should not be missed- Tommy Nutter: Rebel on the Row. The exhibit displays Nutter’s unique style and Edward Sexton’s tailoring of glamorous suits. Ladies and young, handsome British gentlemen come take a look (and meet me while you’re here)!<br />

<br />
<br />
The FTM is challenging visitors of all ages to come along to the museum, get creative and make their own design and print. It will then be printed onto a white handkerchief which can be kept as a memento of their achievement. <br />
<br />
FTM staff will be on hand to support and encourage those who have no experience of design or print or teach those with some experience more advanced techniques. <br />
