final major project (part 3) . . .


Right, so here is the last of my final major project posts! All the work has been marked and the exhibition has been open for a few days already. I was given a corner space in which to show my work but I was quite worried that I didn't have enough work to fill it as I chose to make a film rather than do photographs, in the end though I think it turned out nicely.



 I combined designing a collection with pretty collaged illustrations.

deconstruct, reconstruct . . .

This was a project where we bought charity shop clothes -a grey polyester M&S skirt suit and a blue cardigan for me- and took them apart to remake them. I looked at Margaret Thatcher and the sense of rebellion and unrest that surrounded her leadership and the rise of Punk to inform my dress and cape. Originally there were going to be more obvious references to Punk but it simmered down into the use of safety pins to embellish and decorate.
