This is my final out come of the PVC skirt without the attatchment! let me just say i am so proud!! at times i have been so close to tears making this garment but it was so worth the stress!! this PVC fabric put me under a lot of preassure as once you go wrong there is no going back!! BUT I DID IT!! and it has gone exaclty how i imagined it. i found the waistband to be the hardes part as the pvc just kept twisting... but i did it!!!

once i had chosen my final design it was time to start on my toile. it is make from calico and netting. it is going to be a PVC skirt with a zip detailing at the bottom. it will also have a netting trim around the skirt! i have created a attatchement using netting. you can take the attachment off and zip it back on whenever you feel like you want to change the look. once you take it off it has a zip cover to cover up the zip which then looks like a little pocket. i found it quite easy creating the toile but i know it will be a challege when it comes to making the real thing.

Here are my final design boards! i am super super excited about these and i am so pleased with how they have turned out! i have used the same media that i have used in my book but also added a little splash of acrylic, black ink and glitter to the side of my page as i didnt want too much going on. I decided to call my collection pretty in punk becasue of the mixture of punk and new romantics as the new romantics is a little more pretty and fluffy with the netting, frills and lace where as punk is really tough and bold.

My chosen customer is a 22 year old Fashion student called Lucy Rance! i thought she was perfect to use as she is well known in the youtube and blogging industry and her style is exactly what im going for. she likes to be different and shops at high street, upper high street and has some one of designer pieces. she loves to shop on asos too which was a key aspect for me.



My mood board is jam packed with inspiration from the late 70's - early 80's and today punk fashion. i am really pleased with how my board has turned out as the layering of the images look really effective! we have david bowie, strawberry switch blade, madonna and boy george on there! i also have images of Jean Pauls Collections that i have used on their. My project is all about british punk and the new romantic fashion movement and this board deffinitley captures that inspiration.

THIS collection inspired my project massively! i absolutley love this exhibition. Chaos to Coututre was an exhibition that was held at the met gala in 2013 spring.it examines punks high impact on fashion from its birth in the early 1970's. it is a collaboration of many designers such as.. Vivienne Westwood, christopher bailey, Dolce and Gabbana, Viktor & Rolf, Yohji Yamamoto, Alexander Mcqueen and many many more! i just think the ideas and designs are amazing! they totally blew me away! here are some more pictures from the exhibition ...

The illustrator that inspired me the most was Tony Viramantes who is a late 70's early 80's fashion illustrator which i thought was perfect as those are the era's i am concertrating on. i really like how different the illustrations.. lots of shapes put together to create these wierd faces. Also as soon as i saw these illustrations it reminded me of boy george and how much makeup he wears. that is why most of my ilustrations have bright makeup and crazy hair.. not something you would have on a day to day basis but it looks really efective on my illustrations.

although this illustrator is really out there i had to tone it down a little to create my illustrations that why i have just taken the colour element and the use of black pen and only a little colour.

For this project i have also looked at this is england for inspiration as it was a huge part of the punk/ new romantic fashion movement. i did some primary research and drew these doc martens using pencil sketch as i wanted to focus on some pencil drawing. to develop this i also did samples using organza ans burning it and then embroiding it as shown in this picture.



To develop my drawing even more i created two designs using inspiration from this is england and my pencil sketch. on the first one it is a skirt with a waist band that has all the embroidary on that i practiced on the sample. the seccon design is a paair of red tartan tight trousers with a high waist. to illustrate this i used felt tips and glitter to add that glam to the punk theme.

So first of all im going to start with showing you my project and where i intend to go with it! i am super excited about this project as i love PUNK! and everything about it its so interesting! collections that have inspired me the most are Jean paul Gaultiers collections! the one from 2011 which was for the spring/summer season and the spring/summer collection from 2013 inspired by music artists such as david bowie, boy george and madonna. i thought these collections were perfect as the punk thesed one from 2011 is so dramatic! but yet as i am looking at the late 70 early 80s the collection from 2013 spring summer is also a good one as i am looking at the new romantic movement from music artists such as madonna, david bowie and boy george.


My first illustration development page is focused on an early 1980's pop/rock band called strawberry switchblade. i chose to look at the fashion these two girls wear as it is super crazy! you can certainly see the new romantic fashion movement in the pictures i have chosen to use. i really like the mix match patterns, frills and bold colours because i know it will be great mixing both the punk and new romantic movements as one is very fluffy where as the other is very bold and dramatic.

this illustration on the right is inspired by an illustrator called lauren gasperlin who i discovered on instagram. i really like her work as it is very different. however i have only taken her use of lines and just using pen as media but i have used the strawberry switchblade girls to inspire the outfit and hair.

Hey guys your probably wondering why I haven't posted in a while!!! It's because we coached ourselves off to London and Paris!!! GIRL it was amazing!! ✌ Totally loved it!! Thought i would do a blog post of some of the beautiful sights that caught ma eye!!
