These are the beginning points for my final collection
The Freestyle Disco dancing world is a big apart of my life. Every aspect of it excites me, from the competing to the music to the costumes, all of these aspects come together to create a world of high pace, extreme beats and beautiful costumes. I took the bold colours, body con outfits and the energy of this world through to my collection. I wanted to create a collection which captured the essence of it all.
In the summer before the start of uni I went away to work for my auntie and uncle in Lawrenny, Wales. On my day off I went to Saundersfoot, a beach i have been going to ever since i was born. I spent the afternoon and evening walking round the coast when it dawned on me what i was missing from my previous project which began this whole collection. Structure. In my last project of 2nd year I didn't have a very considered silhouette. The rocks and stones where the perfect idea, it would allow me to create bold shapes and forms.
I wanted to pull together two completely different starting points because there would be no overlap of idea and each would push the other so that they could create something unique. The rocks where also there to counter the effects of the knit. Knit still has this "nanny" quality about it and I wanted to push away from woolly jumpers and knitted hats and bring some bold colours and exciting prints.
