Birmingham Clothes Show Live

This weekend I went to Birmingham NEC for Clothes Show Live which was themed on Christmas; The models were dressed from winter wonderland themed clothes to jolly santa outfits including office party outfits to toys and presents! This year was great, i found it really inspiring.

Creative approaches to fashion

I have enjoyed this project it has been fun working in this way.... starting with a point then leading on from that into different ideas for example: in this project i started looking at buttons as a fastening, i then looked at zips as they were also a fastening, then i looked at train tracks as ithey looked like zips etc..
I began a body of work and developed ideas for my final garment.
I think i could have done a lot better if i would have done a few prototypes or had practiced doing this before the project, but ive only ever done pattern cutting once so i have found this very challeneging, but this will help when i do anything like this in another project.
I was quite pleased with my outcome but feel it could have been better, my body of work did show a good development and i hope that when people look at my garment they can relate it to my work. The structure was inspired by Thomas Heatherwick, as most of his sculptures had this i decided to use this in my design, so there were more pleates and short hard sleeves, also a square neckline.

I handed in my project today. Im feeling quite pleased with the out come but still pretty nervous
