UPCYCLING
This was my last project I did on my Foundation course. I had never designed for fashion before so I chose to look into up-cycling garments and using recycled fabrics that I obtained from charity shops. I worked onto shirts and jackets, using shapes cut out of men's ties. I took a lot of inspiration from Alison Willoughby as she makes a basic skirt and then adds different shapes and layers on top. I think my designs could have been a bit more 'out there' as I think they are too safe, so I wanted to push this in my future projects.
