Melting pot project

The reason we had our fabric sourcing trip to London was to get ideas for our new project. We were shown a presentaion on Mexican art and culture which showed 'the Mexican day of the dead'. the colours are absolutely beautiful and i found it really interesting learning about the different culture. Ive decided to take a different take on mind and i decided to do mine on 17th century glamour culture, looking at people such as Marie Antoinette and The Duchess. Im excited to look at the different lifestyle, expectations and and culture of that era and interoperate it into my own work.

Fabric sourcing in London

We got to go fabric shopping London which was really fun, i didnt enjoy the early start so much though. Ive been fabric sourcing in london couple of times before with college and on my own because in live in Woking which is only 30 minutes away on the train which is lucky because i knew my way around quite well. The fabric stores around Soho are my favorite around London but unfortunately seem to be the most expensive, this is why i find it a good place to come and get samples. I hate asking for sample because each store reacts differently but most were friendly and gave me the fabrics that i liked.
