Last picture shows final design with working drawing.

I really enjoyed this project as it challenged me i was inspired throughout it .





My final line up and developing the technique which i intend to use on my final design.


Looking at inspirational artists and designers inspired by the art deco movement.

PRIMARY RESEARCH- Looking at architecture which was built during the 20's and 30's.




Here i looked at the background of the 20's and 30's and what art deco was. Fromt the pictures i created collages and used the shapes to inspire smocking.



Beading and emboridery was very popular on evening dresses, so i looked at garments from this era and was inspired to design garments which have beadwork. I tried sampling with beads and sequins which were popular but they, werent as successful as i'd hoped they would have been. So i tried using buttons and adding bead where the thread goes through. This wa very successful, quick to do and i really liked the outcome. From this i them created designs.
