Smile for the Camera

  • Jenny Evans
For my final collection on the BA Bespoke Tailoring course at the London College of Fashion, we had the chance to create our own brief. Mine was called Smile for the Camera, where I looked at the idea of beauty and fashion as a way to hide your true self. I compared this to a veneer on a tooth and how the old tooth is hidden behind a shiny new front. For this project I made five full womenswear outfits. I used both production and bespoke tailoring methods and drafted the patterns for the garments myself.
