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.

    Great name and experimenting with text. Great layout and imagery and you have created a real "atmosphere" about, in and for your garment.

    Really interesting and involved.

    One question though - do you really like the film "Ps I Love You?" Hilary Swank looked soooo thin and I think Mr Gerard Butler needed someone who is more calm and not so hysterical...OK, OK I will volunteer myself!
