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.

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.
