More second year work.

For my final project in second year I created a collection of whimsical fabrics based around British Wildlife. This was for a spring/summer outcome and I really wanted to accentuate some of my illustrative abilities by combining pattern with detailed placement prints.I took alot of inspiration from Miu Miu and Paul and Joe for this, especially their Spring/Summer 2010 collections.

Pattern and Prints from Second year

I thought I would go back over past work and sort through ideas that I think worked well but could do with some more work, after completing my degree I realise that although my work was good in the second year I did not produce enough of a range of pattern and scale for a whole collection. I really like some of the pieces though and would like to revisit these and incorporate them in new collections.
The samples above are from a collection where I collaborated with Fashion Students to create a collection and also fabrics from them to turn in Jackets, I think this worked quite nicely, I was given the brief of working with the idea of light and dark so looked at wings and the delicacy of them.

These images are of the final jackets, my role was to dye and manipulate the fabrics with an emphasis on beautifully printed lining, giving a contrast between the dark outer fabric and intricate pattern on the inside.

Extended Major Project hand-in

I haven't posted on here for a while, have been very busy recently with New Designers end of year show and graduation! I have been trying to organise myself in this time by sorting through everything I would like to post on here from past and current work and inspiration. I shall post all of my graduate project and then go over anything I may of missed from my past pieces. These are just a few pictures from my final hand-in.
