A Blast From The Past
One of my ealier projects was Organic Structures and this brief required lots of still life and observational drawings, alongside texile sample pieces. I have uploaded some of my work from this project as shown below.
My still life as shown above was produced by an observational drawing from the cross-section of a pumpkin fruit which I then developed into a textile sample.
This textile piece I created using the techniques of couching, fabric manipulation and layering as you can see in the above image.
The drawing materials I used to produce these still life's consisted of: water colour paints, oil pastels, chalk pastels and pencil crayons as you can see in the above images.

Final Major Project
During my first year of fashion I went on a trip to London and watched the spectacular westend musical show Wicked and I must say I did find the show most spectacular and truly wicked. Watching this fabulous musical inspired me for chosing my theme and brief for my FMP which I titled "Wicked". Due to the most stunning and creative costumes used in the show I wanted to create my final piece based around the shows costumes and so I wanted to inject the elements of texture, shape and tones of colour.
This was My FMP Wicked costume modeled by Julia Court (college co student)

Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest..
CHRISTIAN DIOR...
Dior is one of the most well known recognisable fashion labels ever and as a young fashion student it is this inspirational iconic designer, 'Christian Dior' who influences me greatly within my own collection of research and work.
Throughout my first year studying fashion I included his work into most of my projects as research and inspirations which helped me to generate my own ideas and creations for my projects. Alothough I'm now in my second year and have developed my knowlegde of more new younger designers, I will further continue to be inspired by diors fashion collections as his work has helped and inspired me to grow as a young fashion student by developing my own creations. Most of his garments tend to consist of lots of colour, shape, structure and textures which is why I love his creations soo much and inspired me when creating my own pieces.
I absolutely love these garments by Dior as they consist of lots of structure and shape and the tones in color are particularly appealing.
