This is the mood board for the "From the Inside Out" collection. This collection has been inspired and developed from a skeleton hand drawing by my younger sister. This drawing has opened a new door for the direction of this collection, I have been extremely inspired by the spinal cord and the fine curved design lines of the ribs. The skeleton inspiration links beautifully with a monocramatic pink colour scheme working aswell with the soft floral detail.
The theme for my showcase collection is the
two sides of a person, focusing on their darkest and brightest moments, what
they hide from the world and what they let show through. Most people only focus
on the positive and suppress the negative, but what if opening and sharing the
negative was a better and more positive way to express yourself. The inspiration for this collection comes from
a very personal reflection, showing the sides of a personality that is seen on
the surface and the side that is buried and vigorously fighting to be kept
hidden. This collection reflects closely to the ‘angels and demons’ in one’s
mind, this will be shown by the contrast of harsh and soft colour palettes,
soft silhouettes, dramatic embellishment and extremities between each garment
displaying the emotional conflict that can be held inside on a daily
basis.
