Collection

This is my final collection, following Preen style, i have chosen to go for a funky manly kind of look.
the collection is based in 2 trousers, 1 leggings, 1 coat, 2 blazers, 2 dresses and 1 all in one top-trousers.
the theme repetition stands out in some parts of the clothing such as the pleats on the first trousers, and mainly pleats in all the other garments.

My chosen garment is the second one, man wide shoulder blazer and loose trousers.

i was really sure about the fabrics i would be using, in my collection, but after talking to Alexis on Friday, i realized that my moodboard gives a Urban look, and the fabrics make my theme look very countryside.
so ill be hunting for other kind of fabrics over the easter holidays.

As well as that i am changing the first design, instead of making a waist blazer ill be designing a blouse, to give more variation to the collection.

New Colour and Fabric Board

After choosing the fabrics ill be using in my collection , i have cut down my colour board to a total of 6 colours.
This kind of fabrics gives my theme a rough look. but keeps the repetition on the texture.

More and More Fabric Research

On thursday 18th i visited a small factory, where i had a picked on the whole procedures, as well a good picked on their fabrics.
they had 5 bin bags full of fabric, so i took as much as i wanted, some for my personal used, but mainly for my design project, fabrics which would go with my theme as well as my colour palette.

this are the ones i came out with, if i choose one of them, ill have to go hunting for a similar one all over london.




















More Fabric Research

On Tuesday 16 th of March, i paid a visit to the fabric shops in west end, where i found some very interesting fabrics.
i was mainly looking for fabrics which showed a pattern and texture, that gave me a feel of REPETITION, my theme.
as well as that i was following my colour pallete and getting brown, beig, white, black and grey.

I found a couple of ones that really inspired me for my designs, even though i didnt have an actual design in my head.
i was plannin to put one of this fabric on top of other, to give it a repetition effect.



As well as those, i found this next ones, which inpired me because minimum one of our garments needs to be tailored, and this shop is specialist in tailoring.
i liked both of this fabrics, as i think they represent repetition on the pattern and as well, i can actually picture any of them in a tailored jacket.





I thought the texture of both of these fabrics was really nice, even though, they dont reflect my theme, the colours appear in my colour palette.





















dresses, trousers and jackets.

These are the design development i did on friday 14th of March.last one in class....even though i work quicker in class because i dont have distractions i ruther work at home.
