ShaniceEmily; FinalLineUp

The final line up is like the icing on the cake its all the research and hard work coming together to represent the overall outcome but to also show the concept through the clothing.

My Line up shows everything i want it to it has the dark haunting colours representing the dark abandoned church's along with the light soft flowing melody representing the soft 18th century art work.

The Final Line Up ;

ShaniceEmily; Picking my final selection

After developing my outfits i picked out a my favourite ones, and the ones i felt fitted in with my concept best, showcasing my images through design.

I then paired them up to how i felt they fitted best together, and came up with my final line up, i hand drew all my flats and created my range.

Final Range Plan;

ShaniceEmily; Developing outfits

After i did a  lot of initial design development,  I started to put outfits together and developing them, as outfits.

Here are my selections pages that have a few of the outfit selections on ;

ShaniceEmily; Were the design starts

Using all the amazing research i have discovered i can now start using this to start the design process.

Here is some of the first development i have done,

ShaniceEmily; The research never stops

When creating a project, research is something that is ongoing, as the project progress's the research leads. This is the route my project has taken. Here i have included more of my research pages, along with fabric research, fastenings and samples.

ShaniceEmily ; Colour&Fabric

On the colour and fabric boards i wanted to let them fit in with the concept board and have a clear relation so i used pictures of the concept board, I also kept the layout similar, and also included the key image that i had got my colours from.

Fabric Board ; 

Using fabrics from my further research i selected the ones that fit in with both my colour board and my research, so now i have an idea of fabric i can start the design process.

Concept Board ;

After i had visited museums and seen abandoned buildings i use all of this to put together a final concept board that would show all my research, i wanted the concept board to be powerful and effective. 

I also had to come up with a title that i felt fitted in with the overall concept, i wanted some thing that was dark but also had relation to all the 18th century art.

ShaniceEmily; It the research that inspires you!

Fresh Concept

For my concept I wanted something that was fresh and new but with that dramatic impact, with the strength to stand out. I wanted it to be eye catching but have the diversity to allow me to have the freedom within the design.

I constructed a number of research pages to start the focus on my concept;

Research Pages ;

ShaniceEmily; Behind every collection is the pages of research.

With research being such an important if not one of the key components of a collection, i really wanted to focus to have a strong powerful message.

I started by using what i saw as a strong influence through Vivienne Westwood's work, and that was the 18th century, seeing the strong prints and fabric manipulations were ver inspiring.

So i started by look at the 18th Century I looked closely at mens wear and Mens style at this time. (Although I'm doing womens)

I then moved off to look at 18th Century art, and kicked of my research at the National Portrait Gallery 

I then thought about were at the time amazing paintings would of been found, and discovered the detail of art found in churches, and rather than looking at standard church i wanted to look at derilick churches as i thought i would be able to get a ton of inspiration form them.

St Martins church in Slivertown - Urban 75

Of course i couldn't leave it there and saw a derlick building on my way home one day, and decided to stop to get a few images.
When i was taking the images I had a look round to see the damage, once i was done i looked at the dirt on my hands and this took me somewhere else.

As you an see from the pictures i was then strongly inspired by all the lines, and at this point was ready to but all my ideas down, on some research pages, and think about constructing my concept board.
