Balloon Project (1)

The final outcome of an earlier costume project where I used balloons. This spring-boarded my next project. The bodice is made of wire and coloured tape, and the skirt is put together with string.

Balloon Project (2)

The inspiration for this project was the sexual revolution of the 70s and 80s, with the New Romantic movement involving androgynous and extravagant ways of dressing. Drag culture was prolific during this period, and this was one of my main influences.

Short Course Project (5)

A collection of A4 collages, which used the shapes and textures from my research images and drapes to create interesting design inspiration. The fabric sampling at the end represents potential colour schemes and textures for the collection.

A series of rough design developments created using the previous collages (A4/5/6, pencil).
