Industry

For the first fashion project, we had to chose our preferred designer and create a collection for their brand if provided the opportunity to work for their company. I wanted to be the designer so my role was to search J.W Anderson's style and create a range suitable for him. I paid attention to gender mixed fashion and minimalism as his style is basic. I began to design flat outfits and researched into tops and bottoms. Even though his designs are very simple, they include unusual elements such as splits and folds.

I decided to sketch rough designs and add colour in order to involve my teams ideas. I tried to include grey, navy and yellow but keep white as the main colour. As these would be turned into patterns I thought the main colour needed to be subtle so decided pale colours were needed. I think the rough sketches have really helped my drawing and design skills as I have the ability to explore strange styles without the pieces presented perfectly.

Here is a photo from J.W Anderson's 2013 summer collection. I am going to continue using these colours and try to focus on more feminine features such as loose layering as well as the masculine structures. Considering I've never taken inspiration from J.W Anderson I hope that I will gain a new insight into lengths one can go to in fashion.
