Another book i looked at and have had in my personal collection for a while was the 'Fashion Designers Sketchbooks' by Hywel Davies. this book is a wonderful resource of inspiration and looks at allot of the most influential and well known and respected current designer and how they work. it has lots of fascinating facts and information as well as intriguing imagery of the designers work either on the stand or sketches of designs.
one of the designers that i came across was BOUDICCA described as more of an art concept the collection is the work of Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby graduates from Middlesex University in 1997. the collection is made up of beautiful clothes that are impeccably cut and non-conformist. the designers have explored the balance between edginess and femininity through their stylized and refined collections. this is what drew me to them as it is a similar idea to my own for this project. they have also used modern technologies such as 3D modelling and data processing, that they then translated into paper installations to create the collection.This idea of using technology to help create the designs and even be inspired by in an area i would like to look into in the future however for this project I'm not sure it relates, however their creation of over sized and 3D shapes does appeal to me for this project and would be and interesting way to combine my ideas whilst challenging my skills in pattern cutting and manipulations.
below are a few images taken from my copy of the book of the BOUDICCA collection.
