After days of research, drawing, research and more drawing, I began to become particularly interested in the architectural drawings I had been focusing on. Looking at the colours and the angles especially.
The planes of the buildings offer a variety of shapes to work with....and now I have a new vision of where I want the product to go.
Looking at textiles I have been researching techniques from print to laser cut, embriodery and hand dying. Considering a piece of body adornment build up by creating a number of layers using textile techniques. I hope to echo the planes of the architecture and I am considering hand dyeing the fabrics to create the colours referenced by European architecture.
Recent trips to the Great Northern Contemporary exhibition and London gave me inspiration for the layered pieces.

Sass Brown lecture got me thinking........
looking back at the past for a sustainable future? Have we lost our way with cheap, fast production? Can we change the future to a more sustainable one by taking on our parents and Grandparents of sustainable living? Can traditional techniques bring a quality back to fashion and help produce high end fashion?
