Galaxies and stars..

I started off my research by looking into space. I took a picture of a planet from my trend research and looked into starts and galaxies. I started to look at pictures and colours and I really liked the textures and patterns.


I would really like to find some galactic material to put into my collection and the colours and midnight blues and purples are very edgy and bold.

Shape development

In my sketchbook I have done some shape development to help me with my research. Ever since we learnt about shape development in first year I have always liked doing it as it helps me to move forward in my research and designs.


 Here, I have done some shape development using crystals. This is my favourite shape development and I have decided to design my collection based on the shapes of the crystals. I really like the straight angled lines of the crystal shapes and I want to create straight lines and harsh angles in my collection, doing the shape development really helped me to come to this final design plan.



This shape development is with the beetles I researched. I originally researched the beetles for the colours and textures, but I decided to still do some shape development to still see if I could find any interesting shapes and gain some inspiration. I've decided that I don't like the shapes of the beetles but I do really like the colours and textures which I will want to portray in my fabrics and material.

Holly Jeffry Galactic Collection

i have found a collection that I absolutely love, Its by Holly Jeffry who is an aspiring fashion designer just starting out in the business, and I can really see her getting far as she is very talented and original.

Here is her collection;










I think the material she has used is beautiful and I would really love to find some iridescent fabric like this. The use of colours is amazing and the whole collection looks very unique and futuristic. I particularly like the iridescent green and brown trousers and I have tried to find a contact email for Holly to enquire about the materials she used although I cant seem to find one.

I love every single garment and the collection has really inspired me to create a beautiful angled collection with as much impact at this one.
