Mixed Media

I've been doing a but of mixed media and tried to be a bit more messy and free with my artwork. I am compiling a little creative journal with lots of inspiration from colour and nature, as well as including uplifting quotes...

Children's Wear Design

So today I handed in the work I have been doing the last few months for Uni. The brief given was to create a Diffusion line from the Art of Fashion, but I was free to take this in my own direction. I have wanted to do kids wear design for ages now, so I took this opportunity and designed a girl's range inspired by the theme of 'Winter Woodland' and children's art and illustration. Below is the dress I made and the fabric I designed for leggings made to match, as well as some of my design work.

The Clothes Show Live (The Art of Fashion)

This year I was lucky enough to have my work featured in the graduates show at the Clothes Show Live at the NEC, Birmingham. The brief was called the Art of Fashion where I was challenged to create a Turner inspired dress from luxury silks and a knitwear piece inspired by Mondrian and/or Matisse. I am really proud of my finished pieces and felt that they looked really effective on the catwalk.
