Punk Lolita

Punk Lolita was one of my favourite projects, as the theme itself was completely different and unique compared to a typical design brief such as ‘produce a prom dress'. This project required me to do a lot of research regarding Japanese street style and how it has been a major influence in fashion. Throughout the project, research and planning have been essential aspects. My research pages include mood boards, trend predictions, individual research, product analysis,designs, testing and modifications. Below is all the coursework pages which you can look through to see how my research helped me to conclude to a final design idea, with visual progression of my garment construction.
Technology has to a big part in this project as I got to learn about 2D design and how it can be compatible for textiles design. A popular decorative technique used in top fashion retails and by designers - laser cut, was also done through 2D Design. It was a good opportunity to see how industrial machinery is used to produce 'laser cut' patterns on garments.
