Right, so until i arrive in Orkney (leave on the 31st, arrive late on the 1st but dont actually get to Stronsay until the 2nd...yes it takes me 3 whole days to get home) im going to do some fashion research. I have a few ideas of the kind of fabrics i want to create to represent the crashing waves etc (lots of oversized ruffles and texture), but am not sure how to incorporate my usual quirky images. Perhaps line drawings of Orkney scenes subtly printed on somehow? Orkney has a lot of folkloric history, so could perhaps use that somehow? Stronsay apparently had fairies and trolls, who managed to travel accross the sea to Kirkwall, on the mainland. Cant remember how, need to dig out my old Orkney story book. Wonder if the standing stones that move around on certain nights of the year count as 'movement in nature'?!?Yeah, so back to the fashion research. Here are some designs i came up with when i was at Cardonald college. I was set a very strict breif, that i wont go into right now (recycled wedding dress, only use white bla bla), but the sort of textures in them is kind of what im thinking. Probably more delicate, and obvioulsey better made, i only had 3 days to finish to design at the top, and about 2 weeks for the other 2. When i was working on these i was looking at japanese designers like Commes Des Garcons and Junya Watanabe, and also at Viktor and Rolfs blacklight collection. Am thinking about them again, but also more delicate designers like Bora Aksu. To the vogue website!
