Made

March has been my 'Project Runway' month, because I've sewn myself a record of 3 dresses this month.

I've been going crazy over prints, and it was love at first sight when I saw this paneled fabric. Its somehow reminiscent of the prints that were seen at Mary Katrantzou's S/S 2012 show and I was inspired to pair another printed fabric with this one to create an effect like that of Mary K's dresses, but that didn't quite materialize because I couldn't find a good enough printed cloth to go with this one.

The finished work

I decided to experiment with a solid coloured fabric. My choice of fabric -  a royal blue linen material. This piece is so versatile - I went a little crazy with the accessories.

Necklaces: Marni x H&M, Clutch: Korea, Leopard print flats: H&M

Here's another piece that I made from this gorgeous cotton fabric that I got from Arab Street. I like the way the prints look like waves + denim mixed together. I wanted to do a dress that was not overly sophisticated, so I decided to do a sportswear inspired racer neck + A-line skirt.

In Full Bloom

Flowers are set to blossom in spring and the runways were adorned with floral prints in all shapes, sizes and hues. My favorite floral prints of the season are the bright, crazy and modern take on florals - tropical flowers picked fresh from Proenza Schouler's S/S 2012 show, Hawaiian blossoms from Altuzzara's runways and Belle Sauvage and Mary Katrantzou's digitally manipulated but ultra modern floral prints in clashing hues and bright colours. I can't wait to get my hands on these floral prints, and I know my wardrobe will thank me as it comes to life again this spring.

Mood board by me.
