CONTENTS PROJECTS: - CITY LIFE - ALIEN - JANE DOE - STELLA IN ASIA
THIS PROJECT WILL LOOK AT THE FUSION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND FASHION AND HOW BOTH FIELDS OF PRACTICE COMBINE THEIR STUDIES TO DEVELOP SIMILAR CREATIONS THAT REALTE TO EACH OTHERS WORK.THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT I LOOKED AT THE MINIMALISTIC AND FUTIRISTIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE 21ST CENTURY TO INSPIRE THE DEVELOPMENT AND REALISATION OF MY GRADUATE COLLECTION.
THIS PROJECT WAS PRIMARILY BASED ON THE ALIEN MOVIE SAGA AND PROCEEDED TO LOOK AT FUTURISTIC AND CONTEMPORARY FASHION, DEVELOPING INTO A MODERN AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING ACTIVEWEAR / READY - TO - WEAR RANGE
THE JANE DOE PROJECT WAS A SUSTAINABLE COLLABORATIVE OUTCOME. WITH THE FEMALE BODY IN MIND, THE PROJECT LOOKS TO EMPOWER THE FEMALE FIGURE AS WELL AS PROVIDE CONFIDENCE AND COMFORT THROUGH LINGERIE. WITH THE 70’S IN MIND THE PROJECT TAKES UPON PALE COLOURS AND WIRELESS STRUCTURES TO FURTHER COMPLIMENT THE FEMALE BODY.
THIS PROJECT WAS A GRADUATE FASHION WEEK DESIGN COMPETITION FOR BOOHOO. I FELT INSPIRED TO BRING BRIGHT COLOURS INTO THE BRIEF WE WERE GIVEN LOOKING INTO CHINESE CULTURE AND FUSED IT WITH MODERN ABSTRACT ART BY FRANK STELLA.
