degree collection - couture gown and laser cut leather collars

Well it's been a busy few weeks getting ready for my final degree piece with involved thousands of hours of sampling, refining my dress patterns which are self designed and putting together a gown which incorporates contemporary corestry, laser cut leathers and silks which are again self designed using adobe photoshop and illustrator and finally using traditional courure sewing techniques to bring the whole piece together. here are some images from my degree show
