student board showing Kerry's creation of spring/summer collectio and autumn/winter collection based on a vintage garment

KERRY O'BRINE FASHION - YEAR 3 FASHION PROJECTS

This project required the students to design a Spring Summer Collection based on a vintage garment. Next, they had to take the key piece from this collection (right) as a starting point to produce an Autumn Winter Collection.

Kerry chose the vinytage garment (above). She liked the servere S shaped sillouette, the contrasts and blends with the draping layered fabrics.

She wanted her designs to create an S shape sillouette and instead of using a corset she would use the lines and cut of garment and the fall of the fabric to give the impression.

The contrast of the 2 colours, black and pink, also interested her because they indicated conflicting emotions to her. The pink femine and pretty, the black edgy and hard.

This key dress from the S/S Collection has a large belt panel to give the effect of an S shaped sillouette.

The dress is made of torn chiffon & beading with a chiffon underlay.
