Useful Websites

here are a few of my favourite websites that could be helpful especially for coursework:


this is a database of 'inspiring images' where you can search key words and comes up with lots of more fashion forward and nice photography that are a lot nicer than you would find on google! with an account made they can be saved, and create your own database of pictures you like which can be used for inspiration and mood boards. 

this website enables you to make moodboards online and use a huge range of products from the website and drag and drop to arrange your own look book. you can look at other people's mood boards and easily look through thousands of garments from high street to designer - really useful when investigating trends and quickly looking through existing designs.



drapers is a great website for 'fashion new's' and has loads of information of the business side of brands we know, really interesting for information of how retail shops profits are doing, new business plans and disputes between companys. some of the information is for subscribers only, but through the email subscriptions you can easily read the articles hassle free.

youtube channels

a lot of people on YouTube make DIY tutorials and look books of items which I find really inspiring and gave me a lot of ideas, and teaching me easy techniques such as studding, dyeing and fringing garments that could be done easily at home, or incorpate these skills into designs through coursework and practical pieces. here are a few of my favourite DIY tutorials:

blogs

i also find fashion blogs really useful as I like to see how people style things, other people's outfits and also look at blogs from around the world to see how style changes. these are some of my favourites:

hope this has been helpful!
