Melting Pot...

Over the last week or so we've been starting to research into our new project 'Melting Pot'. I really like the idea of the project and that we are able to explore into different cultures and places and feel it is a theme that you can have an endless amount of ideas from. I've chosen to use 'The Amazon' as my theme and have started researching using books relating the amazon from the libary and looking through the Peclers fashion forcasting books for relevant links to my chosen theme. I want to explore all the aspects of the amazon, from shapes and textures of the greenery, plants and nature, and the colours involved. I also want to look into traditional style of the amazon tribes and think about how to incorporate the ethnicity into current catwalk fashion. I'm really looking forward to experimenting with my research using drawing and different mediums to then think about garment shapes. I hope to not get stuck for ideas with this, as with the Black and White project it was quite a short and not as broad but I hope to keep having lots of ideas!
