I wanted to draw a collection to see what different styles work with what sport features and what bottoms work with these. I decided to use blue in the designs as this appears to be a common colour in sportswear.
As seen with this tennis outfit, blue is used in current tennis outfits and I think this adds a bold element without being too distracting from the rest of the design. This is also a Nike item which enables me to understand other than the elements from Nike town I found, what can be a trend and what athletic people are looking for. Since Nike is one of the biggest sporting fashion brands currently available, this informs me that this is what the market look for.

I really like the outfits that include shaping that is unique and futuristic. I want to keep using these structures because I feel that not only does this take me away from my comfort zone, but will contrast the classic shaping of the simple tennis dresses women used to wear. This then allows the outfits to feel more like a high street pieces. I'm really enjoying this project because It's different to anything I have ever done. Despite still basing this on costume, I'm combing the past and modern designs in order to explore my abilities and ideas.
