Anonymous Bear leggings featured in DIY book.

The bears are spreading wide - our leggings with anonymous bears are featured in a fashion book DIY couture.

With simple, visual instructions and cool styling, DIY Couture is made to inspire people to join the handmade revolution. Where eco-fashion meets street style, this is the antithesis of fast-fashion. 

Here are pictures from a book:

Instruction: How to get QooQoo for Maybelline cosmetic bag!

Pēdēja iespēja dabūt Maybelline somiņu ar QooQoo rakstiem!!! 

Pavasaris tuvojas un tas nozīmē, ka saule spīdēs vairāk, krāsas apģerbā un meikapā kļūs košākas un drosmīgākas. Tieši tāpēc atceries, ka vēl tikai līdz 1.aprīlim veikalā Stockmann vari tikt pie krāsainās QooQoo for Maybelline New York kosētikas somiņas! Pērc Maybelline produktus 20LVL vērtībā, sakrājot 4 zīmodziņus par 5LVL pirkumu, un saņem savu QooQoo kosmētikas somiņu dāvanā:))

Recently we had a unique collaboration project with major cosmetic brand Maybelline New York. Cosmetic bags with QooQoo Tribal WoodDog pattern have been sewn by local home textile producer Hermans Casa.

Last chance to get a Maybelline cosmetic bag with QooQoo print on it! What to do? Until 1 of april,  make a 20LVL purchase of Maybelline cosmetics in Stockmann Riga  and get the bag for free as a present!

Graphics to Fashion?

If you have a keen interest and talent for design, then there are a few points which you may wish to consider.

Firstly, you are likely to want to experiment with the way in which your designs work when used with fabric and clothing. You may find that you want to make certain alterations in order improve the appearance of your designs when used in connection with certain materials.

You will also want to think about the style of clothes which you are looking to create in general. Are you designing casual clothes which might be worn to watch TV or play Cheeky Bingo, or glamorous evening gowns which might be worn to a more formal event? Having a good idea of your goals can be the best way to make sure you create a collection which has direction, and a clear sense of style. 

You may have already completed a graphic design course, but you may also want to think about taking a course which focuses specifically on fashion. Dressmaking skills can often prove essential when your first set out as a designer. Professional training in this area can be extremely valuable, especially if it is something in which you have no prior experience.

You may look to gain work experience or an internship with a more established designer. You may even want to enter a design competitions, like those which feature on QooQoo.lv!

This can help you to build up a portfolio, which you will need in order to progress in your career as a fashion designer.
