Development of the lining pattern for my dress - Textiles

This is the development of the lining pattern I am going to create for my current A2 project's final piece. I made a flower out of scraps of purple and black fabric, scanned it into Photoshop and turned it into a mosaic pattern. This is presently being developed into a repeat pattern for the lining of a dress designed for a red carpet event.
This design is from my current A2 project in Textiles. My theme is seasons and this is the Autumn design. The stripes in the dress are panels demonstrating evidence of adapting my pattern piece. It also shows samples of decorative techniques I could use e.g. Applique, variation stitching and sublimation printing.

Black and White Catwalk

These photographs are from the Clothes Show Live. For photography, I completed a project based on fashion and I used these images as a series for my final piece. These were taken in black and white because it emphasizes the creases and shadows within the fabrics. I specifically chose these shots because they showed movement and worked well as a collection.

The Model's Shadow - Art and Design


This is an image that I painted from my current Art project. It symbolises the emotional struggle through depression. The blank face and the shadow in the image clearly portrays the intended meaning. Here I've used ink in a range of strengths, and the image was then edited in Photoshop to adjust the tones and shadows.

Life Drawing - Old Man.

This is a piece I completed in a Life Drawing workshop, in which we drew a live model in different positions. I used black chalk which emphasized the tones within the human form.
