Final Collection - Week 1

I'm Lottie, a 21-year-old fashion student from the UK.  I am currently in my 3rd year at university in London & have just started research for my final collection.  I want to use this blog space as a journal to document my work, ideas and, later on, the final outcomes.  I will try to update once a week.

The theme of my collection is a new look for summer music festivals.  As research, so far I have looked at the camping aspect, with quilting techniques from sleeping bags and nylon fabrics with patterned cotton linings.  The main aims of the collection are fashionable, comfortable and practical.  In order to do this I have chosen a range of fabrics including gingham cotton, polka dot jersey, stretch denim, chunky knit and waterproof nylon.

Key garments include body suits, shorts, jumpsuits/playsuits and Mac's Key design features include quilting, peter-pan collars, exposed zips/ hook & eyes, double ended zips and pockets.

Below is an initial concept board, I am currently working on an updated version and should have that finished for next week.

Thanks for reading :)
