The Duchess of Devonshire

Hello Buddies,

Welcome to my blog..... I have set this up so people can see the progress of my final year at University.
I go to Middlesex University and study Fashion Textiles, specialising in Print. This blog is going to follow me through all the design process, decision making, ups and downs of creating my final collection.
I have titled it aptly after my muse, Lady Georgiana Cavendish 5th Duchess of Devonshire. She was a rather rebellious character, she got involved with politics, she gambled, drank, had affairs, held huge parties and was a style icon. Although there was a dark side to her life she was immensely popular and in the 1780's perhaps one of the first real celebrities. So you can see why she is my muse. My inspiration is coming from Georgiana's homes, grand manor houses and also her holidays, offering lighter more free lines and colours. So there is an introduction i will scan in some sketchbook pages and print designs etc so you can get a feel for my project.
