Alexa loves... Victorian Fashion

Fashion has changed a lot over the years. I couldn't imagine women walking around Morrisons today in huge dresses knocking things over with their huge boucles or on the bus finding it hard to sit down because of their extremely tight corsets. It would be pretty much impossible so we can't really go back to the full Victorian style but it was so interesting that we can't just forget about it so today we mix it in with the modern style. 

The Victorian era was really inspiring so I created the outfit on the right, modernising it by making the top into an alter neck and shortening the skirt at the front. 

Alexa loves... Grace Coddington

'ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. KEEP WATCHING. BECAUSE WHATEVER YOU SEE CAN INSPIRE YOU,' is my favourite quote. Its by the great Grace Coddington and it must be true judging by her amazing creations. A particular favourite of mine is the fabulous Alice In Wonderland shoot she created for vogue...ne
