Whitehouse adventure!! If only.....

Yesterday, my sister and I were lucky enough to have a little peak within the Whitehouse Institute of Design!!! I have always wanted to check out the Melbourne campus at Spencer street so as you can tell I was tickled with excitement when a friend asked us to help her model her designs for her collection.


Public vs Private
Kristen Lee Phillips





Kristen is currently in her final year of bachelor of design in fashion design and just completed a brief that dealt with the idea of Public vs Private, for example what we choose to show and what we choose to hide within fashion. She played with this idea by incorporating lace, net and leather which are commonly materials used for lingerie, to the outside of garments.
She had to produce 3 outfits, one of which was mens wear which she had never done before, but the construction was still flawless. (Special Thanks again to my friend James who helped out at the last minute!)
I was so impressed with all her items!! I am in love with her leather leggings which my sister got to wear and hopefully I can get an early order in :)
