Stella Mccartney Fall 09


Guys ... Im lovin thhis stella mccartney's colour combination.
Somehitng black and white with a hint of bright, shocking colour which maybe a nice colour palette fro winter... , what do u guys think ?




:-) Antzzz

Another colour palette option


Heyy guyss ... this is my suggestion for colour palette ...  :-)


So should we set a date when we can hunt for fabrics ?
BTW ... can I choose the "Secret Admirer" substory ???
I think everyone should choose one substory so we can start putting on our ideas and make sure that our collection will be harmonious? 

:-) Antzzz
Hey everyone,
theme ideas sound good holly, i think ashle suggested rendevous as one of them? i think thats also a really really good one, maybe as the final one instead of love? i dunno.
good work on the colour palettes ash, those were pretty much the exact colours i was thinking of!

Colour palettes







Just some of the palettes I have played around with and liked so far......p.s i hate my scanner!

Themes

Anthony that is great! I like the flow and story created by the themes and I think thats what we need to get our colour palletes started and then designs. The swing tags are good, I think if we all make up a couple and then we could ask Feride for her opinion maybe?
Yay! Progress

Themes

Hey guys it's Dom,

Firstly just want to say thank you too all of you for understanding my situation and helping me out when i really needed it. I love our group!!!!!!!

Holly, the video is amazing and i love all of the imagery used. It truly visualy portrays my thoughts on the look of our brand. I hope im making sence.

Ok now, down to buisness,
By next tuesday as individuals we need to have started generating some ideas on
  • colour palettes and
  • swing tags

Im only saying this because i have a feeling that if we dont start some of these little things it will be harder for us latter on. By friday we should also have our stories worked out, what do you guys think???

im planning on doing lots of studio studdy this weekend so i can catch up. (Im stressing out and its really too early in the year for this isnt it, he he he crazzzyyyy me!)

so the themes we have for the stories so far are

  • love letters
  • secret admierer
  • stolen kisses
  • serenade (tara, I think its a good one)

Thats all i we have so far, if anyone thinks of any more or wishes to change some of these please do so =)

Ashley has done some work on colour palettes that i think is really cool, is there a way of putting it up here for all to see??? Do you mind if we do that Ashley?

Tara, i hear you sister, me and technology is just un heard of realy! Together we need to take a crash course in "how to use your own blog"

Well my time is up, the blog is looking great thanks to the awsomeness of our tech savvy group he he he. till next time

wow!

holly, that video is amazing!!! how the heck did you do that??? i'm so technologically jealous of your skills!
i think that we should definitely sort out the sub-theme/stories etc. we don't have a clear list of the 6 different ones do we? i was thinking about other possibilities and i thought maybe 'serenade'? i'm not sure what you guys think, let me know. if you think it's lame thats completely ok :)
well done on the vid holly. very happy!

Odds and Ends + Theme Discussion

Link Summaries:

Stock image resource

Hey Guys!

By now the blog has been set up, I've put in a header and edited some small things around the place. Dom has even started to be tech savvy (she's proud of her spec template- cant wait to see it!) and nearly everyones made a post! So i guess we should start updating here as much as possible and use it as both a network and a resource pool so that we can all translate and share our visions for the label.

I tried putting in a slideshow gadget So that we can share images, but it wants a source album and I didn't want to complicate things by adding a missive photobucket account, what do you think?

Apart from this, one of the main things I picked up from the last time we spoke was the need to think of themes for each drop. The basic umbrella theme I think was along the lines of "secret admirer/ private things/ love letters/ romancy classy sexy" (Maybe its not completely clarified yet?!) I think ashle wrote down some of the things we said in the caff so maybe we could comment on this post with some sub theme ideas or the direction we all might want to go in?

I made a little video/ slideshow response to this idea of letters after we talked that day, my computer has been freezy so its been hard to save it without complete hardware doom. All the images were free stock photos, I'll add the link at the top of this post so you guys can find and use them too, stock images are good because we dont need to worry so much about licensing and stuff!

Its not awesome, and its likely to look worse on the blog itself so if you want to see it bigger here's the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYsy6Ru3dvQ I found imagery that alluded to typing, letters and a central heroine that helps narrate the theme of the range (much like the latest elle collection did)






(videos from your computer are really easy to put into the blog, theres a little icon second from the right, as well as add image and link buttons.)

Well thats it for my first bloggy post that isnt just a comment, hope it was okay!

The maiden blog!!!

Hey kids!
Ok so just set up the basic structure of the blog so feel free to pretty it up!
This weekend I'm going to research some colour trends for our chosen season of Autumn/Winter and possibly think up a few more "secret" themes.
If anyone finds any great sites or has a light bulb moment just pop it up here and we'll get this blog rolling!
Enjoy your weekends 
xoxo
