fabric textures

My favourite is the shiny latex because it changes with the light the most when moved.

the title is ai written, i need to humanize it. the first version of the abstract is perfect in terms of writing style and content but is written by ai. i had microsoft co pilot write multiple versions for me and i collaged my favourite parts of each into one abstract but its way too long and would not pass through an ai checker without getting flagged. the second abstract draft is condensed but still too long and the third draft is humanized, it goes through ai and plagairism checkers without getting flagged and is a suitable word count but the writing style is lost and it jumps between concepts in an almost contradictory way because of the short word limit.

this is a link to the conversation I had with copilot in order to write the abstract as requested by nataliya

No flex zone fashion show

taybahha — 2025-10-21 10:26:03 UTC

Today I fraternised with an american fashion designer who was showcasing in the No flex zone fashion show, run by Kutivz Kutoure afro-luxury couture and ready to wear fashion brand, and convinced her to apply for the same internship i am doing and talk to my employer, Zoe, the founder of Kutivz Kuoture. I also talked to the brand ambassador for Exquisite modelling agency and Zoe introduced me to the founder because I asked her to help me get into the modelling industy so i can model on her inclusive size runways. these are examples of me networking which is one of the module requirements for this course. i've also uploaded an instagram reel i made of the event as requested by my employer, zoe, the fashion designer behind kutivz kutoure.

London fashion week internship recruiting event

taybahha — 2025-10-21 11:01:32 UTC

this is the initial event i attended with big from our course, it was a fashion show runway event where the CEO was recruiting interns and I later attended her sip and shop after discovering the bubbly community she created to help her out as much as possible in order to be picked as her intern. I stayed from 12pm to 9pm and it worked, i was the only intern from the interview to stay that long and I was the only intern from that day's interview to get chosen. during the internship event we were asked to make content and this video is the instagram reel i made for submission.

Black poly-cotton sateen under pink shimmer organza and tear away stabiliser underneath. Yellow madeira thread, 360 degree star tool on Wilcom Embroidery software

taybahha — 2025-10-22 21:09:32 UTC

Moon and star symbol is the islamic flag, pink shimmer organza inspired by bridal pink bengali lehenga fabrics, yellow is the classic star and moon colour. Water soluble stabiliser underneath

taybahha — 2025-10-22 21:12:56 UTC

Cutting away the black satin ready for ruching the pink organza on top of it.

This star does not correlate with my bridal theme, it was a sample to learn how to use brother digital embroidery machine, hence i might use it for the glove design challenge that my internship employer has set for me this week.

taybahha — 2025-10-22 21:14:07 UTC

The water soluble stabiliser has been washed off and a happy accident involving bleach has created a nice tie-dye effect on the embroidery.

kabah embroidery second version

taybahha — 2025-10-28 10:14:53 UTC

the first was too complicated for the software to handle for auto-sketch stitch tool so i switched to this one, this was also too complicated. so I acted upon embroidery room technician adelle's feedback and auto-stitch tooled a colour block vector and I used the software's lace stitch tools for the embroidery around the kabah and the auto-stitch for the
