60's

I have been given a new brief and i found it hard to pick a topic initially, I looked at images that inspired me and combined them together. One thing I noticed is that these images were not wishy washy and very vibrantly coloured. One thing i can not stand is wishy washy paint, weak colour.

I had alot of images relating to nature and the earth, the thing that was vividly screaming from this selection of images was 1960's.

1960's has always been the decade that has inspired me most.

I then researched more into the subject, into 60's art most of this was art deco, i did not really want to go down this route.

This time when making my garments i want them to be brightly coloured, i tend to stick to black when designing or mixing a colour with black. I need to get out of this comfort zone.

As an artist colour has always been my strong point and i think this should reflect onto my garment designs.

I have sketched out some rough plans on how i want my garments to be. I want them to have a 1960's silloette, vivid colour and vivid pattern, iv been researching different flowers and the most suited to get an interesting pattern out of is probably the passion flower.

I have not based a topic on an era before and at the moment i feel like there is a million things i could be doing, the thing i am most interested in would be to research the people and get a good insight to how they behaved and what it was like living in 1960's.
