Ann Hardie's Assistants

Students from HND and NC fashion were working hard last night helping with dressing and events management at Ann Hardie's 'Precious' Show.
All were battling with underskirts, pins, labels and laced bodices to ensure everyone and every dress was shown to perfection, helping to create a stunning bridal wear show and a fantastic event.

NC Fashion at the Simpson Institute

This evening NC fashion students had the chance to show their work at the Simpson Institute, Upper Largo. This was not work from their course units but an extra portfolio assignment where they were requested to design dresses for girls and ladies using calico. The theme decided upon, due to the time of year, was the foil wrappers from chocolate eggs and so most dresses had a metallic element of embellishment.

It was a great success, well received and was also great fun for students, models and audience alike.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped to make this night so successful , but a very special thank you is needed for all the little models who so bravely stepped into the bright lights of the cat walk.

This week we had an end of year Fashion show for the NC fashion students, not everyone could exhibit, as some students were still finishing assessment work. However we managed to show friends and family the amazing achievements of our students and the processes that they go through to get from design and toile to finished garment.
Thank you to everyone who came, to the wonderful models who volunteered and to all the friends and staff who helped so much and made the show such a success.

Play and experiment

Some of the intriguing solutions and explorations into materials from yesterday's workshop. Keep playing it is how you learn, it is how you discover, invent and problem solve.

Shape manipulation

Intense work investigating shape manipulation and design possibilities with Sabrina Shirazi

Sabrina Shirazi

Hand and Lock embroidery prize winner Sabrina Shirazi came to Adam Smith College to give a Master Class yesterday, and certainly gave the NC fashion students plenty to think about. We were given an information packed presentation and workshops in shape manipulation and hand embellishment.
Thank you Sabrina and thank you to all the NC's for working so hard and making this such a successful day.

Year 2 HND Fashion Design and Production with Retail students presented the little black dresses they designed and produced last year, as part of The Diva Catwalk Show in aid of Maggies High 5 Campaign, organised by Secret Wardrobe. It was a great event and well supported raising over £700 for Maggies and a great showcase for Fife talent. Special thanks to Sophie McInnes of the Beveridge Park Hotel for inviting us to participate and to Fiona Hogwood for guiding the students within their events unit. A great time was had by all and it was great to see NC, HND year 1 and 2 students all mixing it up together. Thanks to Hazel Terry and Walter Neilson for photography.

HND Fashion Design and Manufacture Show

4 HND Fashion Design and Manufacture students Amber Barclay, Kat Valentine, Miranda Williamson and Fiona McLennan had a very successful show at Picante, Glenrothes last night to showcase their final pieces. There was a wide variety of garments showcased from dynamic dancewear, elegant daywear and dramatic eveningwear. A good time was had by all.

Fashion Curriculum Head Christine Robson said, " The fashion lecturing staff are extremely proud of the students who planned and organised the show in conjunction with Lisa Bray from Picante. They worked hard as a team to make the event a success and dealt well with problems to be solved in what was a fairly complex show. This is excellent learning for the competitive world of fashion after graduation. The students personalities shone in their collections and really showed us creativity at its best."

Two fashion shows on one night . . . Fife fashion week?

Last night we had two fashion shows from Adam Smith College students simultaneously in Fife, both were a great success.

Here are some of the images from The Abbey Hotel Fashion Show. This was a charity event organised by HND Events Management Students. It was wonderful, how so many different departments from the college collaborated to make this such a successful evening.

I am looking forward to seeing the HND's show.

Thank you to everyone for all your work and enthusiasm.
