Initial inspiration taken from the strong colours of the ocean, the delicate patterns in granite and Archways inside the Tama Art University Library.
Archways inside the Tama Art University Library inspired me with the form and shape of the neckline. Development has been made on this shape by mark making and collaging.
Pattern piece used to drape on mannequin is shown above, this produced a nice size and fullness.
Cuff detail from runway and Koshka inspired further development of cuffs. A gusset of bold colour hidden within the cuffs.
