A peaceful year without any political unrest had us streamlining through our 3rd and 4th semester. Finally, our 2011 AI fashion show was showcased at Siam Paragon on 7th May according to schedule.
Working one semester ahead, our class of 8 harmonized as a company to present a collection. Each of us worked on one design with the overall show theme:
" Not in the sky, not underground"
"~ an Italian inspiration~"

So each of us got down to business.

Our conceptualised collection was based on the 1960s film "La Dolce Vita" (the sweet life).
However, we envisioned our own story of a woman going for her romantic first date.
~She wants something feminine with a hint of sex appeal. Comfort is also key.
The colours would be soft, the texture light. ~
Before getting all fancy sewing, mad mathematics was done for my dress proportion.
Perfecting my corset cup for months and 3 prototypes later... I QUIT!
Nah~ Just kidding~ I was finally ready to make the actual outfit.
Lots of hand-stitching for the lace and ruffles.
Used a luscious double sided material for the contrast of the corset, exquisite lace and silk chiffon.
Only the best for the lady on her first date~
...and leftover fabrics used for Designers :(
Final fitting day for all the collections:
One of my seniors.
One collection per person for final year students.
My outfit looking good on the Brazilian model.
1 day before show:
Full day rehearsal.
Actual day:
More rehearsal, waiting, even more drama from morning to noon.
Then we had 4 hours to showtime to get ourselves ready.
At this point, I can't remember how sleep feels like~

Final rehearsal in outfits.
About an hour to show time...
Did the final counts and checks, unzipping zips, matching shoes and dressing models in their first outfits.
Yup, mine was ready since the beginning of time ~~ Hur Hur~
