Fashion and Surface Design -

We have been given architecture to focus on for our fashion and surface design project. As soon as I found out what our project brief was, I immediately went onto Pintrest to search for garments and inspiration for this project. When I was on Pintrest I came across this page which purely shows white architectural objects and buildings. The pure colour scheme and the plain, yet intriguing look interested me. From there, I decided to look for pastel and white architecture, which is when I came across Russell house in Covent gardens in London.

While i was drawing up my sketches and ideas, i realised that i was going more towards fashion rather than surface design, which then lead me to do fashion illustrations of dresses and light flowing garments, which were all in pastel colours. However, i found that in most of my research the buildings and architectural objects had all had straight, flat edges, so I decided to try and incorporate this into the floaty garments.

I have also decided that I am going to be using a screen print technique in my final garment. In order to get the clean cut edges of the skyline and buildings that I wanted, screen printing would be the safest option. I can then paint over the screen print over the screen print by hand once it is dried to finish the final look of the garment.
