These images are taken from my A-level Textiles final project. I created my own brief, to design and make a tailored suit for young business women. The first image is one of the moodboards I produced, demonstrating the feel of the outfit I aimed to design, and underneath is an image of the outfit.



This my Fine Art piece from the first rotation of my Foundation course. Based on the Hedonistic character in Oscar Wilde's novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray", I demonstrated the idea that beauty is visible, but the evil within is unknown, by way of a wallpaper design replicating the devil.



For my first rotation fashion project, I was asked to design a collection based upon the work of artist Egon Schiele. Using colours, forms and textures from Schiele's work, this was my collection.




My first rotation textiles task was to design a collection of 2 fashion prints, inspired by a journey around the local area. I was also inspired by the vibrant designs of Moschino's Cheap and Chic Spring 2011 RTW collection.




In second rotation Fashion I was asked to choose a designer and create a capsule collection for them. I chose Dolce & Gabbana and after looking in particular at the way they use contrasting themes, was inspired by the extrovert characteristics of peacocks and straight-cut tailoring.




My task in second rotation textiles was to create samples to be used on a "Futuristic" themed bag. I used colour and a straight-cut design to demonstrate the theme.



My first project in textile specialism was "Garden of earthly delights" in which I had to design a collection of scarves. I used Monoprint and embroidery to create my pieces.



This is an example of one of my drawing pages from the "Garden of earthly delights" project, showing how I used a range of drawing techniques to produce still life images.




These images are from an "Environment" inspired project. I used a variation of different types of knit to create samples for a fashion accessory, based on a series of rural and urban images I collected and responded to.



This is work from my most recent project, "I Love Tokyo", in which I researched and responded to
Tokyo architecture and created T-Shirt designs on photoshop using my developed motifs.


I believe I have developed my skills and interests through my current Art and Design Foundation Course, and have demonstrated this with my images. I am a fashion-lead student and would like to pursue a career in Textiles designs for Fashion, solely because I enjoy the process and outcome of designing garments.
