FMP

FMP (my final major project)

I have decided to do my final collection based on a Roman Theme I have chosen this because I like the architecture in the older buildings. I feel by looking at this area

I can develop lots of different shapes and work within a interesting colour pallet. I have began looking into designers that use the influences of buildings and Romans in their collection one that stood out to me was...

Madamme Gres

- Her work seemed to have unlimited inspiration from dist

ant lands and always took her ideas from cultural and historical influences.

- In the 1930s she was one of the first designers to cut fabric on the bias. This is interesting to know as I could use this technique in creating garments f

or my final collection.

- One of her famous quotes 'For me, working fabric or stone

is the same thing'

Here are some pictures of her work...
