Flicking Through the Photo Album

The concept for my final major project is based around the idea of Comfort and community within growing up, My ideas centre around my family life and how I perceived things growing up. I am including Print as a main element within my collection (my strong point), layering up garments and textures to produce busy yet refined designs. I aim for my collection to be personal l but also reflective of other peoples experiences taking reference points from groups as a whole such as football collectives. My main point of reference comes from family photos and news paper clipping my grandad saved where he he worked, publishing our family's achievements, here I take ideas of colour, texture and imagery incorporating that into my work as a subtle nod to those around me. I have a mixed style within my work taking some of my favourite aspects of previous projects such as creating a technical jacket and adding this into my collection as I enjoy creating new fabrics through bonding and things such as waterproof zips and pockets.
