Knitting - Project I did in September inspired by the first photo. I used a Loopy Mango pattern and yarn for this sweater. My first of many knitting projects and the start of my love for knitting.

Final Presentation - this is the whole Parsons summer intensive combined into one presentation (even if it ended a couple weeks ago). If you keep scrolling, you will find my thought process of the final looks, products, and designs featured in this presentation.

Final Presentation - concept and mood board of collection.

Final Presentation - Final looks

Final Presentation - Look 1, the main concept Look. In this design there is an English smocking top with highwaisted satin pants. Layering on top of the two pieces is the quilted coat and for the accessories there is the Bucket Hat, The Pleated Purse with the Primary Heels (in red).

Final Presentation - Look 2. Featured in the look there is a red jumper with an English smocking top to have a corseted look to the bodis. Underneath the jumper and top is a pleated dress in the colour blue. For the accessories, there is the Picnic Basket Bag with the Bridesmaid Crown and the Wellies (in yellow).

Final Presentation - Look 3, the gown of the collection. Created a dress with the English smocking technique, spacing the boubles along the length of the dress. Underneath is a shirt to have a more casual look with a digital pattern printed on the shirt. For the accessories, there is The Bridesmaids Crown and The Primary heels (in red).

Final Presentation - Look 4, the most casual look out of the collection. A blue jumper with pleates attaches to the cuffs, collar, and bottom of the jumper. High waisted pants with the quilting materially added. The Primary Heels (in yellow) are included as well as the Daisy Chain Sunglasses for accessories.

Final Presentation - Look 5, last look of the final designs. Wanted a holiday look to the collection. A slip dress is over a pleated dress with a Satin Crown and The Wellies which has a scarf wrapped around the handle.

Final Presentation - Designs which we’re not featured in the final looks.

Final Presentation - English Smocking, creteing my own version of the classic technique. Used tool to give a fancy look with the bouble ties for a nostalgic feel. Favourite use of materially because it scrunched around the body nicely.

Final Presentation - The Quilted Coat, a fancy coat to layer on top of the garments. Can be used as a materiallity throughout different pieces of clothing (for example the pants). The differ lines are all the different primary colours.

Final Presentation - The Bucket Hat, twist on straw hats usually seen at weddings. The bucket hats are a more youthful look in the collection. Made out of different colours of satin which can vary in combinations, with a ribbon to tie around the neck.

Final Presentation - The Primary Heels, inspired by my mother’s wedding shoes but added a buckle and strap to give a more school girl look. Can vary the combinations of primary colours. Buckle is the shape of a school crescent and matches with the embroidered crescent at the base of the heel.

Final Prensentation - The Wellies, shoe design included in my collection. I wanted to create a more childish nostalgic feel to the posh garments so I added these boots. Could mix different variations of the primary colours and a scarf can be wrapped around the handle for a fancier touch.

Final Presntation - Products, all featured in the final designs. On the top left is the Satin Crowns - inspired by paper crowns from Christmas Crackers. Made out of satin and has ribbon for different adjustments. Top right are the Daisy Chains - sunglasses inspired by the late 90s with daisy chains inspired by my mother’s wedding dress. Bottom left is the Picnic Basket Bag - a wicker basket in the shape of a globe inspired by Fortnam and Mason tea parties. Bottom right is the Bridesmaids Crown - which are crowns similar to the crowns the bridesmaids wore at my parents wedding.
