New Mood Board


I have updated my mood board to better represent my theme. I have depicted my colour theme with the images I have chosen; a mix of black and white digital prints and vibrant blue embellishments.

Collection



















I have collated my favourite designs and have put together my capsule collection. I was unsure whether to make a skirt or trousers to go with the jacket that I have decided to make, however after discussing this dilemma with my peers, Karen and Sian they all agreed that I should make the trousers as they go with the coat better, they are more modern and most importantly they are more 'Moncler'. And I couldn't agree more! I am still deliberating over which jacket to make and whether I am going to use a screen print or a digital print, at the moment I am leaning more towards the digital print as Moncler Valli has used this method in his last two collections for Moncler Gamme Rouge and I also think that it would look better than a screen print as it has a smudged effect that would be hard to put across with screen printing. I haven't decided on the extact shape of my jacket so I am just going to make a toile and see what looks best. Here are some of my ideas and garments from my capsule collection.

Alexander Mcqueen ss10

Looking at Alexander Mcqueen's Spring collection I can see that he had been influenced by jellyfish for this collection for the prints and the silhouettes. The dresses have been digitally printed and finished with embellished details, which is similar to what I want to achieve. The prints have also been repeated and this is something that I have been working on. I absoloutley LOVE this collection, the prints and the colours....they are stunning!
