Today we were given our first brief, to enter a live brief competition. we have to design two outfits that in someway reflect the future!!!!
After thinking long and hard, spending far too long staring at a blank screen on the laptop and pulling my hair out, and finally after a long conversation with a colleague I finally have a direction. so here goes........
Thinking about global warming and the effects it has on our daily life, taking imro considerarion how that may effect the future, i have decided to design outer wear, coats with the great british weather in mind and although our summer has been mostly wet and miserable, our winters are turning colder and icier. with those points in mind i will design two outfots ready for an icelandic winter in the uk!!!!!!!
1) Firstly I will need to research coat trends and functional.
2) Need to research traditional outer wear that would be worn in colder climates, say, mongolia, iceland, to make sure what is designed is functional as well as forward approaching.
3) Need to look into fabrics that are environmentally sound amd do not hit the pocket hard diring austerity.
I have taken a look at some of the key trends for aw12/13 and have noticed that although financially times are hard, it seems that we still like a little flamboyancy within or wardrobe.
