Introducing my self.

:)

I don’t have a clue where to start but I think the best place would be at the beginning :) I’m Rebecca Louise Coope. I’m 19 years old soon to be 20 next month, which I’m not looking forward to… not a teen anymore! I live in Leeds with my dad, mum, brother and little sister Lily. I work part time at Tesco embarrassing I know but its part time while I’m at college. I go to York College I studied 2 years doing fashion studies, now I’m doing the same course at a degree level. Which I absolutely love it involves been given a brief of some sort with a theme or current trend then creating a sketch book with drawings, sketches, design ideas, samples and all that sort of designing process in it to which direction I’m going in when creating a garment, ill post some photos up on my next post of some of my sketch books to show you what sort of things I’m on about. I also make clothes some for a college brief that have been on fashion shows to others that I just quickly make for my holiday, I love experimenting and it’s so frustrating going shopping and seeing a top or dress that’s so expensive that I know I could make for a fraction of the price, I then go home and think about it all the time then I’ll be going out buying fabric to re-create haha. I also have computer studies where I work a lot on photo shop creating mood boards, rational boards, and design boards etc. which look so good after I’ve done them on photo shop. I also do an art history lesson which is so annoying but I just have to do it. You learn all about the history of fashion and artists, I love it when we research into Chanel or Alexander McQueen and other amazing fashion designers and get to find out how they actually started out which is so interesting. I then have the manufacturing side where I price up garments and how much it would cost to make. Then there is my favourite part where I create the garment and I see my hard work paid off when my collections go out on the fashion show :) I love my course and it’s going to be such a big part of my life as this is what I want to do. I love the process of seeing a simple sketch book full of ideas then the finished product on the fashion show. I also love the part where I style by dressing models in my clothes and get their hair done at the college salon and I bring in my own accessories and take photos in the photography suit with professional cameras, lighting, backdrop, props etc. I also have lots of photos that ill share of my garments. But enough about College I get a bit carried away haha.

I'm a very fun bubbly girl and I love going out on a weekend with my friends, shopping and being with my family and boyfriend. I spend lots of money on new shoes and clothes as I think I need everything. A lot of money goes on my beautiful car that I got for Christmas from my dad. A black mini cooper with a pink roof yeaaaaaa pink!! It’s amazing.

when I’m older I’d love to own my own boutique with all clothes that I’ve either made of designed, or to be a fashion stylist I think that would be my dream as when I’ve got a model in front of me and lots of accessories and garments I just get too carried away and have a vision for it all. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" such a true quote. anyways I think I’ve prob bored you all to death as I’ve got carried away for my first post, but yea hope you’ve got to know me more :)

With love xo
