words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

"across the universe" by the beatles

i am possibly the most saddest excuse for a fashion student/blogger, but it's all rush and go, college, work, college, college, work, work, rest, driving lessons, work, college, but you get my drift, i haven't had a lot of time to post, but now i do, here it goes...

it's crazy to think that i will finish my two year fashion course in around four months time, it's quite scary to be frank, and with sticking to my guns about not going to university, it looks like i will be working in my little cupcake bakery haven until i can find something along the fashion pathway. but nevertheless, our final major project has arrived and thinking hard and changing my mind so many times throughout the christmas break and half term, i have finally decided the theme i have settled on, and it is.....

yes, the fantastic tim burton's "edward scissorhands"! i only watched the film recently through half term, and it brought back so much childhood nostalgia, oh the 90s! edward scissorhands is a fanstastic character, with his shiny leathers, thick belts, studs and chains to the oversized "borrowed bill's (dad's)" spare clothes and braces, the whole costuming is brilliant, colleen altwood is a genius. i want to portray he's innocence and isolation throughout my project, with such sinister and harshness in his clothing, edward really is a gentleman and adorable, and not to state the obvious, that everyone, including me, fancies the pants off johnny depp. i'm hoping to create three looks, and i want to stick the the monochrome colour scheme that edward wears throughout the film and i want to try and make the looks more wearable, to fit the female body and to give it a modern twist, but with keeping and respecting the film, with picking iconic elements shown, i also think a oversized tee with a graphic print of edward's face would be really cute, and a la topshop, and of course, you can't forget the scissors! i'm really exicted to see what outcomes i can come up with, watching the beautiful johnny over and over again as "primary research" as well as taking a trip down childhood memory lane.
