The aim of this project was to take a theme or story
that interests you and from it take inspiration to design, draft and construct
two looks which correspond with one another.
The story behind this collection was based firstly
on old fables of sleeping beauty. I decided to take a more modern approach by looking
into the most recent version of sleeping beauty, Maleficent. The theme of the
collection for me was based on Maleficent, a beautiful pure hearted fairy,
protector of the creatures, who one day is ruthlessly betrayed by her love, which
turns her heart to stone and equally turns her back on her magical realm. I
took inspiration from the highly textured creatures living in the moors, the
fairies and their surroundings.
