Straps - print. Regarding le gown

realistically I think that straps into seam lines is a better idea. As a thought - What if the seams had black piping in them? Might look nasty - thoughts?

More Herringbone

I know they don't really go with the collection but it was fun to play around... I think they are too geometric/graphic/fragmented to work with the smoothness of our collection but they certainly are 'out there'.

Stop! Spec Time

We had these two redesigned the other day... may potentially affect designs as the dress we put under the coat had the neckline cut in this same way... What do we wana do? will alter your spec jimmy boy.

Herringbone patterns in progress...

I've tried a fine knit and got the outline - I'll try a thick weave and then see what watercolours are like.

Rene Gruau

Mayby a little whimsical (or sophisticated) - what do you think?

Just having a wee late night blog hunt, found this image on We The People - Australian Street Style Blog. Dress in image is Sabatini. Interesting. Looks like people are wearing it...

I FOUND THE SABATINI CUSTOMER

Vogue Australia, May (?) 2011

Warning: Image dump

Illustrations!! Looking for style/colour/line/composition etc.. What do you guys think?

Sketches

Just a few images for the mooooood/colour/customer board. Obviously horrendously incomplete, but we need to find a style for these before I can complete them. Shall post up a whole bunch of fash illustrations later and we can see what we think...

Fabric Find #1

Right-o, just a quick update to let everyone know/keep a record. Comment if you complete something on our epic to-do list..

SAMPLES:

- Tailored jacket/dress (panels + cut outs etc)

- Blocks for fitted dresses

- Blocks for trousers (cigarette pant + shorts)

- Elastometric leggingss + pattern

- Widths for knit weaving strips (thus far concluded 4cm for statement pieces, 5cm for skirt, no?)

- Start draping statement gown

- Piping (but on what? where? ready-made or make it ourselves)

REDESIGNS/DEVELOPMENT

- Undergarments - skirts/tops/singlets for the outfits that need them

- Figure out something to wear under crop/sheer Coat #1

- Shorten weave-shoulder blazer #4 to waist length

- Design crop jackets + blazers for dresses 10, 15, 12, and 16 (particularly the gown)

- Find a new outfit/top for panelled trouser #7.

YEAH MANAWATU TRIP. Thinking stop at a supermarket on the way out and get picnic foods? yeaaaaah.
