My Collection

It's a 7 peice collection consisting of of 3 signature dress, 1 coat, 2 heaverly structured jackets and a pair of trousers.
The collection is about hidden beauty, I will covey this with dark structured garments 'hidding' the beauty underneath. The beauty will take form in the lining where the print with be influenced on crystal structure and the photographs that I have been taking around london of 'walls'. The dark colour palette with have hints of light contrasting pastels pinks and creams.
The silhoettes are strong with a consisant curve taking form in all of the garments to provide a capsale for the beauty.

Where I am so far.

I've finally started to get a feel of what my collection will look like, with the title 'Toying with Pretty' I want  'hidden beauty' under a layer of dark structural surface.

Rick Owens is not known for any kind of print or

 embellishment he keeps his designs 'raw' and 'subtle' I want to bring this change through with a jeweled embellishment, although keeping it subtle. My inspiration for this embellishment is the Nature History Museum Crystal collection. and the 'decaying' walls I've been looking at. 

The silhouette will get It's inspiration from hollywood glamours simple lines and the furniture collection in which Rick Owens brought out. 

Brick Lane

 Friday 26th Feb ...

Started with the 5 student presentations

Next a presentation by Karen on burn testing fabrics

The afternoon involved 3x 20 min exercises, getting down as many silhouettes on paper as possible in the time limit, and then this was repeated with collars and cuffs too. At first i was thinking to literal and going into much detail on one drawing after bout three pages i started to get the hang of it.
