My 1st design collection

Ever wonder how do designers get their inspiration? How they design a collection? Well, the whole process isn't easy. This semester ( or maybe count it as last semester) we had this subject <Fashion Shoes & Accessories>. For this subject, we learn how to draw shoes & bags, we went on a field trip to visit factory on how to make them and we had to draw a collection for our final project.

During the 1st day of class, lecturer gave us a bunch of homework to research types of shoes,bags & component of bags. At the beginning, I was like "OMG!! so many thing to research!!! DIE LA!!", but when i was sketching for my idea, i realise that those research was very useful and i starting to understand why did he made us do all those research (yes,I burn the midnight oil for that homework).

 We started our final project during end of January starting by the title given by our lecturer "Gamble&games". We were asked to used that title to draw a mind map & create our own theme. My theme was <A Split Personality> with the idea of Rose & Piano. Why rose & piano relates to split personality? Well, Rose is a very romantic flower & Piano is a romantic instrument, both of them seems very timid & soft, but rose & piano can be strong to. I relate those point back to a person, we may look weak but deep inside, we do have our strong personality. This was my concept.

After our theme was set, we did research base on the idea we used (research again ...), then we began doodling around the paper for our initial idea. We were told to just draw random stuff, and go as crazy as we can for initial idea. Later we choose few of the initial idea, combine them,and start with idea development which is to design a shoe/bag ( a proper & wearable one).

Obviously our idea development is not only one simple design, we keep design & change some part, alter some part, finally only we choose our most confidence one for our final. Then is the colour time. I decided to use Red & Black as main colour because it relates back to my theme.

Finally my designs are done
