Burberry - Ideas (3)

I'm looking forward to developing this idea from my Burberry project the most. I am currently experimenting with different colors, cuffs, pockets and belts for this garment. I plan to use a thick cotton gabardine fabric, however this still has not yet been finalised.

Burberry - Ideas (2)

This is another of my designs based on Burberry. I have annotated it with the construction methods I plan to use, however this all has room to change when I look in to developing my idea.

Burberry - Ideas

My current project is based on Burberry, this is one of my ideas. For this I plan to use two different shades of colours. In my development I will look at fabrics and different construction methods.

Burberry - Research

As part of the research for my latest project based around Burberry, I researched existing products and sketched my own version. I thought this was necessary for me understand the shape of existing winter garments and incorporate this in to my own designs.

Vivienne Westwood

For my GCSE coursework I studied Vivienne Westwood. Westwood is great inspiration to me due to the individuality she brings across using a variety of shapes, colours, patterns and fabrics. This is my own creation using her as my inspiration.

Alexander McQueen - Construction

I have included a page of my development from my Alexander McQueen coursework. Here you can see some examples of pockets, smocking and gathering. I used this as part of my development before designing my final idea.

Alexander McQueen - Ideas

Here are two of my designs for my Alexander McQueen project. When designing I like using paint as my media for adding colour, I have also included fabric samples which I tested later on in my coursework. As well as this I experimented with shape, colour and pattern.

Alexander McQueen - Task Analysis

For my AS coursework I studied Alexander McQueen. This is the first page of my research which required me to break down my design brief and research every aspect of my chosen designer. I used this research when designing my product.

Burberry - Decoration

This is one example of my most recent coursework pages, My design brief is to make a traditional winter coat in the style of Burberry. As you can see here I am investigating different methods of decoration as part of my development.

Artist copy - John Galliano (2)

Again, this image is from my mini project on John Galliano. I have included annotations on the structure and the fabrics I imagine would have been used. Galliano designed this garment during his time at Dior.

Artist copy - John Galliano


As the title suggests, this is a rough sketch of a garment by John Galliano from his final Spring Haute Couture show in 2011. This was part of a small project I worked on at the end of year 12 purely based on Galliano and his work. I have also added some annotations on the structure of the garment and the fabrics I would imagine to be used.
