FABRIC AND PATTERN

 I have created a few patterns to be used through out my collection. I wanted to focus more on shape than pattern though so I have only made two. The first one is a simple grid print in pink and white, I got my inspiration for this from basic bathroom wall tiles that popped up a lot of my concept imagery, it seemed to be part of the whole bad girl aesthetic. I made it by simply tracing over the tiles on Photoshop and making the lines pink. The second pattern I made is inspired by Frida Kahlo with her face and flowers repeatedly painted in water colours to create the pattern. This again is another pink pattern and I made this by just simply editing the image into a grey and pink image adjusting the already made pattern to fit in with my collection and colour scheme. This second one is my favourite out of the two and I can imagine looking could on some of the plainer pieces in my collection such as pants or bomber jackets.


As for fabrics I am thinking of going for jersey materials for some of the pieces such as t-shirts and tracksuits. I also want to mix in some satin and silk type of fabrics maybe used on bomber jackets and coats to give a more girly feel to this big masculine oversized pieces. I will also use denim but it will be dyed denim mostly in pink so it looks almost synthetic and unnatural. Last of all I want to use a stretchy type of fishnet fabric probably synthetic to layer under and on top of my main garments.
