I decided to draw my final designs as I felt that the set of colour and structures I have looked at are what I need for my collection. I wanted to make these designs stand out from my other work so I wanted to keep them simple and have the fashion bold and bright. To finalize my designs I used the work I done on the stands and used them as shaping on the garments. They allowed me to add cut out shapes and interesting structures such as shoulder straps. The sport wear influence can be seen with the elasticated bands and the pleats in the skirts/dresses. I decided to design low neck lines and cropped pieces to add a modern feel to the clothes. The patterns seen on the garments were influenced by St. Pauls Cathedral. The inside of the dome has highly detailed paintings and repeated shapes which allow for a mix of mediums and results in a grand piece of architecture. Although St.Paul's is known for it's architecture as a whole (it is a major part of the London skyline) this feature is what gained my attention. I decided to draw repeated patterns inspired from the outline of some of the shapes. I really liked the curves and blocks so thought they could form a simple but detailed pattern.

To conclude, I really enjoyed this project as it allowed me to explore the possibility of designing something for the high street and possibly a new trend.
