Toile Development

I continued to work and re-work the toiles until i was happy with the shapes i had created.  Throughout the process i adapted the patterns to ensure they were accurate for the final outfits.

Design Development

Design Development - Combining initial shape and fabric ideas to create a collection of designs consisting of contrasting textures and colours

Brocade and Lace

Following the recent shape development of drapes, i decided to incorporate the idea of tea party through the fabrics as appose to through the shapes.  I feel this will lend more kindly to my design work as it will add a luxurious feel through fabric choice

Draping on Mannequin

After draping on the mannequin, creating folds, drapes and layers; i cut and layered the shapes over a figure to create new shapes ideas.  This really inspired me and lead me to look into further detail at large drapes to create impact.

Shape Development

This week we began taking ideas from collated research and producing a range of silhouette ideas.  The shapes above are all inspired from the tea cup/tea pot shape combined with simple lines to accentuate the rounder shapes.

Colour & Muse

This shows the chosen colours for my capsule collection, taken from the british heritage, punk and the rich reds and golds of luxurious tea rooms and china tea set detailing

I chose Sara Stockbridge as my muse, as she has a very versatile look, lending to classy and edgy.
