"Lucy is an 18 year old High School Student. At one of her many parties, she bumps into a boy called Zak. Zak is a geek! Lucy finds herself falling for this boy, but knows her friends would never accept it. Using clothing Lucy creates this dress to still look sexy and fabulous, but to geek herself out!"

My Inspirations

I started this module with selecting 8 photos which I believed related to the brief. I chose pictures within space.



The solar system became my inspiration for my final piece. I have concentrated on the area of circles. 


This quickly evolved  into planets.  The colours and textures from the photographs have helped me decide on my surface technique of 'foiling'. I have tried to be ethical by using fabrics that were not wanted by family members instead of being thrown away, so my ethical statement is to up-cycle to prevent waste.


My final design involved my planet inspiration with planets being foiled onto my bottom layer of my dress, with my top layer being completely see-through from my inspiration of space. 





My brand name is Solaris. I think this is strong name and is similar to the French word for Solar. Within this brand name I will use all 7 seven planets for each of my collections. This collection, I am naming Saturn.
