BA(Hons) Fashion and TextilesUniversity of West London
Sep 2013 - Aug 2016London, United Kingdom
BA (Hons) Fashion and Textiles. Final grade – 2:1 I studied fashion construction, pattern cutting, printed textiles , knitwear, fashion history and fashion marketing. Graduate Project: Unravelled Immortality Brief: the theme started off being inspired by the novel/ movie Dorian Gray. It then developed with influences from the history of Ancient Egypt, particular mummies and the architecture. Textures and shapes were then created from my visual research drawing in on key words such as: Dilapidated, torn, old and cracked to produce my final samples.
