My collection combines tropical themes and mermaid inspired details I am designing a Mummy and mini me collection. For mothers and daughters.
My key words for my collection are holographic, layers, playful, childlike, pearlescent.
I started by looking at crystals and shells that I took photos of. I then moved on to observe shapes and patterns of flamingo, pineapple. After I finished doing this research I decided to combine them together in print and embellishment.
The techniques I am using are foil, sequins, embroidery, reverse appliqué and bleach dye. Which reminds me of the sea and creates crystal shapes. I want to do pearlescent details on my clothes to create a mermaid surface like a mermaids tails.
My collection consists of mummy and me matching clothes and it’s a range of casual day wear with one evening outfit that consists of tutu and welly’s. I want my collection to be fun and quirky, the season I’m designing for is the transition from autumn to summer 2018/19.
