Over the past few weeks i have been busy with getting all the research together ready to get ideas to start designing. I am putting all my final research, things that i think are very strong and represent my concept well, into an A3 sketchbook. I will then use this as my main reference point for getting ideas to design clothes. I have also started looking briefly into fabrics that i could possibly use, and looking at shops, (wholesale and retail), for fabrics. Im not completly sure on the final fabrics, but i know that i want lightweight ones as the collection is for Spring/Summer.
As well as working on my collection, I have also got to produce a 6000 word dissertation. This can be written about anything as long as it links with fashion. I originally wanted to write about my conecpt, The Seven Deadly Sins. But after speaking to my tutor I think it is going to be too hard to link it completly with Fashion in written form. I have now decided to write about one of the Sins - Lust, and how this is hugely linked with fashion. I will include its aspect of desire, how it sells from shop window displays, and also how it is a huge emotion that gets shown more often than we realise. I am currently in the research stage of this, and I am looking for anything that i feel will help me, from books to 3D forms.
