New Year

I hope all of You had a nice Christmas. What are you wearing New Years Eve? I know nothing better than dressing up!! Perhaps you can get inspired for you choice of clothes by this blue silk dress decorated by hand with pearls and sequins. I made it in the fall…

Christmas

I made this red dress for my mom in the spring. It's made in washed silk and chiffon, with silk linning. It has a parrot on the side which is embroidered by hand with different stitches and decorated with sequins. 
Maybe this dress is just right for christmas with its lovely color?
      
  

Here comes the last one... I think this is the one I like the most, it's got a nice edge...

One more picture of the bachelor jacket..

Latest project

For my final exam, my bachelor project, I wrote an assignment about “The metrosexual man”.
My problem was:

“How can I create a men´s jacket which represents the Modern Man’s part in society and refers to “the metrosexual man”, based on men’s fashion in the Rococo period? The purpose is to push to, and hopefully provoke men´s self-perception about the way they dress, compared to what society thinks."

I started off with constructing and sewing an original Rococo men’s jacket called a Justeaucorps. I used the book “Historische Schnitte” by M. Müller & Sohn from Rundschau.

 

After that I drawed one of Mikkel´s suit jackets in 1:5, it was a model from the Danish Bruuns Bazaar fall/spring 2010, to see which details I wanted to combine with the Rococo jacket.

I sewed the final jacket so that it fitted Mikkel, he should wear it to my exam so that the fitting also could be evaluated, and I made a lot of the details by handmade embroidery.

The Jacket is sewed in 100% wool with 100% silk lining. The embroidery is made with silk, viscose, tiny glass pearls and some gold plated string. I have used four different techniques to the embroidery.  

Last sunday, december the 10th, one of my friends (photographer Jonas Danholt) was so nice to take some pictures of the jacket. Mikkel, my boyfriend, was the model and I styled him myself. I think that they look fantastic!!
 

Introduction: Who am I?

My name is Louise and I’m 25 years old. I just finished my education as a Textile Communicator, so now I have a bachelor degree in Textile Design, Handicraft and communication specialized in Embroidery and Cultural Communication. So now I´m looking for a job! I have a lot of experience from different internships, as a seamstress and in other parts of the fashion world.

I live in Copenhagen (Denmark) with my boyfriend Mikkel through four years. He studies Human Physiology at the University. I grow up in a smaller town called Naestved, but moved to Copenhagen after I finished my Mathematical upper secondary education in 2005.

I love to be creative, and I find it difficult not to think of new projects all the time.

Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to show other people some of the things going on in my head. I will show pieces created by me, some are ordered, some are just made becouse I feel like it. I will also share my ideas and perhaps get some back... I have decided to make this blog, so I hopefully can get new contacts all over the world.
