First college assignment! posted at 09:50

So I had my induction to my course this week and were given briefs about one of our first assignments. We had a choice of 2 which were both competitions for Cosmopolitan Magazine. One involved writing a 500 word article on items of clothing you would buy with £500; and the other was designing a red carpet dress for your style icon.
I was going to enter the Journalist one but decided to opt for the style icon instead as it would give me a bit of experience in design before our first formal assignment.

I take inspiration from loads of different celebrities but I'd have say my 'style icon' would have to be the beautiful Fearne Cotton - definitely a wardrobe that I would die for.



After some research I've found that her preferred style is that of the 70's as it accentuates her subtle curves in a glamorous and Bohemian style. In a recent cosmo interview she said "I like to get my legs out by not my arms"; So I think that will be the basis of ideas for her red carpet dress.
Will update you on any designs!
