Millinery Workshop

Making a fascinator based on the story, 'Alice in Wonderland'.
The photo edits were just me messing around, tehe.

Deconstruct Reconstruct

In groups of 3-4, we were given a man's shirt and told to take it apart and reconstruct it into something modern in approximately 1 hour. My group and I felt it was important not to overdo it as the material was already striped so lots of decoration would give too much for the eye to look at and may look tacky.

Self-initiated project

For my self-initiated project I decided to design costumes for one of my favourite ballets, Swan Lake. I completed primary research on surfaces and textures, which led to secondary research on Matthew Bourne's interpretation of Swan lake and research into costume designers and fashion illustration.
I thoroughly enjoyed this project and hopefully will go down the fashion, costume and textiles pathway for the next stage of my art and design foundation diploma.
Here is an example of some of the project work.
