MSA Graduate Fashion Show


This evening I attended the Manchester School of Art Fashion Show. Through out my past units I have discovered that my work is firmly set in a fashion-fabric context, and now is the time to explore this field in more depth; in order to expand my knowledge for my upcoming projects.

The three students' line ups below were chosen as they each hold appealing qualities towards the context that I can see my work heading towards. Unconsciously, the examples reflect my own style of work- embellishment, layering, contrast of fabric weights, repetitive pattern. Comparing the three, similar colour palettes are used in every collection- yellow being this seasons' prime tone (as featured on WGSN). In fashion it is essential to keep in touch with upcoming season trend and colour forecasting. For my summer project I am predominantly focusing on improving my colour knowledge through colour/mood boards and fabric  sampling.
