Yesterday the school’s founder came to speak to the 1st and 2nd year Fashion Design program students.
It was such a good thing to have the raison d’être of the #HauteCouture sewing techniques being taught here expressed to these new creatives, who have been spoon fed fast fashion their entire lives.
Hier, Richard Robinson, a donné un vrai cadeau aux étudiantes ( et à nous les profs!)

This week I'll be cutting out a dress and jacket, co-designed with the Mom of Groom, using the #satin #jacquard from her mother's #wedding dress and some lilac #silk her son - the groom - brought her years ago from a trip to Thailand.

So, #upcycling at it's best, reusing every morsel of this lovely ivory - and she's going to dye it to complement the lilac! And while it travelled the world, at this stage, it's become #deadstock as it is at least 5 years waiting to be made into something...

I'm cutting the pieces and handing them off to her to dye, then I'll get them back to begin the assembly...

This morning, I tucked into my studio to create a tutorial video for my #hautecouture sewing students in the 2nd year Fashion Designer Program. I teach the sewing classes for first a second year. It came to a total of 7 parts to the series, from 3-8 minutes long each, so that they can have my voice haunting them outside of class as well as in class! #sewingTeacher #frenchbuttonhole #boundbuttonhole #tailoring #customsewing #slowfashion #oldschool #sewingtechniques.
