UniFiles: Graduate Fashion Week

9 June 2016

When I was told that my collection had been entered into Graduate Fashion Week. I couldn't believe it. I generally thought that someone was playing a really cruel practical joke on me. After a few days of it sinking in, it made me feel ..weird but super excited. When the day finally came for my collection to strut the catwalk I couldn't believe it was happening. 
I like to think this section of my blog is quite career-based, some may find it boring but I hope that it is useful to anyone attending (or thinking) about going to university. 
For someone who thought they were definitely not making it through my final year, it just goes to show that if you put your mind to something anything it possible.  
I have a separate website and Instagram dedicated to all my degree work:

UniFiles: Life after University

27 May 2016

UniFiles is not ending because I have finished my degree...it is merely the beginning. 
To be honest with you I'm starting this post in limbo. I'm a really weird part of my life, where I have 'technically' finished but I graduate next month. I super grateful to say that my final collection has been selected for Graduate Fashion Week.

For a hot second I started to become really lazy and laid in bed all day watching Eurovision. Yes, I said Eurovision. However, whenever I get in this sort of rut I like to find motivation videos to remind me why I choose to go into the already overcrowded fashion industry. Then I suddenly remember that...I love fashion!
In the very near future I hope to study fashion at masters level and hopefully get a good job in the fashion industry.

If you follow me on Instagram, you will know I have opening an ETSY. Lots more exciting summer pieces will be popping up soon. Watch this space. 

Here are a few of the inspiration videos for working in fashion.
Enjoy

Damsel In denim

I love denim jeans. They are by far my favourite go-to simply because they are stylish, comfy and affordable and if you look after them well they can last a very long time.

BROKE WITH EXPENSIVE TASTE: MAY EDITION

13 May 2016



It's gonna be MAAAAAAYYY 

May the fourth be with you and all that jazz. 

Final hand-ins are complete. Having a very weird year so far lots ups and downs as usual. After completing my third year (bearing in mind I'm still buying certain things for my collection), my final year has cost me something along the lines of an arm and a leg. That being the down side, I REALLY appreciate and dearly love what I have produced in this final year. It is like my own personal creative child that I will be sharing with the world soon. 

So for now I can only merely look at the beautiful products and hope that a mysterious benefactor comes along and feels my accounts with 0000

I just also wanted to mention that LEMONADE is an AM-AZING album. 

Products: 

Off the shoulder top // ASOS 
You can't swim with us // INTHESTYLE - NOSTALGIA  
Reversible bomber jacket // TOPSHOP
Chill Pill clutch // SKINNYDIP
Platform heels // MISSGUIDED 
Sandal heels // PRIMARK 
LEMONADE //BEYONCE 

I also have an INSTAGRAM for my design work @vivienakwero and a WEBSITE www.vivienakwero.com
