For my branding project at College I have decided to create an up-cycled fashion business called Lace Wings. The name links to wasps and the recycled, delicate theme I want my brand to have.
I have made a dress out of old scraps of material and an old necklace, to display what is possible for my business.
Here is my logo (without a background) and a photoshoot of the dress I made.
I will now use these pictures on my business cards and posters...
At College we have started a branding project, where we create our own businesses and make promotional items and advertising. I have created an up-cycled fashion boutique (vintage or second hand items deconstructed and re-constructed).
Re-cycling/up-cycling is something that interests me and creating a business for a College project could give me an insight into my own future business. (What I was hinting in the blog post about the recycled flower top) :P
I have been researching different up-cycled brands to get ideas.

I have to say I am actually very proud of this project as I feel it is my best so far! Here are some pictures of why I have been so tired over the past 3 weeks. Zzzzzzz

I discovered one of Madeon's song on holiday, and showed it in the last post (The Deadmau5 Remix). Since then I have been listening to more of his music and have also found out that he is only 17. That sort of makes me feel a bit of a failure, because he is so talented. Here is another one of his music videos, performed live.
