Latest Project: Slow Fashion

I haven't written in a while due to the millions of final deadlines and the stressful exam period, however I have decided to spend tonight relaxing, and updating you on my current process as a Fashion Student at the University of Leeds.

For my final, second year, project we were given the brief to design/ create a sustainable, slow fashion, collection, aimed to address fashions future. After a lot of research and consideration I decided to create a design concept mixing minimalistic, multifunction, and zerowaste principles.

Minimalism has been targeted as a source of design inspiration numerous times before and therefore, I have decided to address it in a different way. I decided to use the minimalist work or Sol LeWitt to gaining unique simplistic and timeless designs. By using LeWitt's linear principles, angular, simple, but carefully considered capsule garments were created, a collection also addressing the current unsustainable fast fashion, materialistic, consumer attitude.

Below are images of my final boards and a selection of design development pages... let me know what you think!
