This is my final project of my Foundation Studies course; after this post everything will be my current work and thoughts. The theme was The World of Confectionery...
I researched so many artists, films, exhibitions, designers, etc. it was unreal! The amount of people inspired by confectionery and all its glory was immense. I found a lot of interesting and inspiring sources but I eventually had to narrow it down and create moodboards to inspire my collection. From my moodboards I produced a range of design developments and went on to select a line-up for my final collection; from this line-up I chose one of the garments to create. I made the dress with a pleated section front; the dress is lycra and the pleats are chiffon to create a contrast of tight, figure hugging and the soft, floaty pleated chiffon.
One of the artists I found particularly inspiring during this project was Will Cotton. He was also the inspiration behind the music video for Katy Perry's California Gurls. His paintings are soft and feminine and in my opinion are simply beautiful. Take a look at some of his work at http://www.willcotton.com/

Paintings by Will Cotton
As part of my primary research for this project; I created a series of still life arrangements and photographed them. This was good to see details of confectionery up close and from various angles. I enjoyed this aspect of the project quite alot as I enjoy taking photographs of things I find interesting.
Here are some of the photographs:
