The brief was to design an outfit for "The Ultimate Clothes Show Girl" for Clothes Show Lives 25th Birthday.
I wanted to create something a bit different, so I started to look at sportswear, because typically sports wear is the opposite of partywear! I took inspiration from a designer I found after visiting the Club to Catwalk exhibition at the V&A; Katherine Hammnet. I also looked at Alexander Wang's S/S 2014 collection from New York Fashion Week.
The
concept behind my submission was breaking boundaries with sports wear crossing
it through into party wear. I was inspired by the bold statement pieces with
the monochrome trend and the splash of bold, bright colours reflecting
celebration. I wanted to design something
that was glamourous, wearable and comfortable yet the ultimate statement
for ‘The Ultimate Clothes Show Girl’. For me my design is more about the fabric
choices as appose to clever design. I have brought sports wear elements in
through top stitching, stretch fabrics and the classic slim fit jog pant.
