FIRST FINAL MAJOR PROJECT IDEA

For my final major project I was asked to find a object to take insperation from for my final capsual collection, that represents myself or represents what could inspire me for the collection.  I chose this gemetric shape necklace, I felt very inspired looking at and ideas rushed straight to me.

I begain to put ideas down, I have never done swimwear before and felt confident to try it, I did some market research and looked at trends and found that the main silhouette for spring/summer 2011 are high waisted 50s style hotpants and swimsuits with various cut out areas. I initialy wanted to take the insperation from the necklace very literal and use the gemetric shapes as embellishment, I then went on to think about prints and stitching details.

I did alot of research into fabrics mainly lycra, I found some printed lycra with a unusual texture. I eventually decided to disgard this whole concept as I just didnt feel that I would be using the right fabrics and felt that this could let my final collection down. I may use this idea in the future.
