During a trip to Oxford Street, I went into Nike Town for research. I took photographs of various features of sportswear but chose elastic bands and sport stripes for my repeated aspect in my designs. I want to use these because I believe these will provide contrast to my collection and will add a modern aspect as well. I do not want to create designs that are extremely accurate in terms of the era they are inspired from and by involving these they allow for an interesting twist and allow for a mix of decades to be shown. I am curious to know how I'm going to incorporate these features as I never design sports items.
I decided to quickly draw some flats to have an insight into what I can create with these ideas and what progress may come in the future. I really like the idea of using the stripes as this could maybe create a pattern or a simple logo. I have only done a few pieces as I know what the bottom half of the dress will look like (this is the piece that will be similar to that of a 1920's dress) which means I have to decide what top I want.
