In Bloom @ Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival

This is the work that I have finally finished and decided to submit for the RMIT exhibition that is running during the fashion festival. Fingers crossed it is all OK and gets in!

The theme is In Bloom, ie. a floral and or botanical theme. This is the concept board I made for myself to stay focussed on a mood, a colour palette and to get some ideas for shapes.




And the resulting outfit (we can have one mannequin each)



It is made up of a cotton top (which I have shown before), a merino wool/mohair/metallic fibre scarf (worn around the body here), a tuck stitch wool skirt, a necklace and a small brooch. And everything is knitted.


Am I overdoing it on the angles? I scrutinise it from every direction.
