Tessalation




These Tessalations were for a project for my Design Theory module. I found this task fairly tricky as it was all done using photoshop and each piece was assembled seperately. I chose a colour palet from a set of chosen images in order to create a pattern for my end use which was curtains. I then split both a triangle and a square into shapes and reassembled and repeated them to create different tessalated patterns.

A love For Marylin



I love this photo of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. Both incredible fashion icons. I recently Read James Deans Biography. Incredibly interesting, what a life, however short lived. Racy, exciting and not a minuite wasted. Something i completely relate to. Marilyn Monroe, beautiful, sexy, talented and knew her body and how to dress better than anyone else in the business.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Audrey hepburn must be one of the most iconic women in fashion history, her performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's resembled a woman of true elegance and beauty, headstrong and inspirational. The timeless cut and simplicity of her clothing in the film are something that i admire, it is one of those rare thigs when clothing so simple can have such an impact,create such a lasting impression and have influence over such a huge amount of people.
Her style has a vast following, fashions come in and out at such a fast pace that it almost becomes irrelevant and meaningless, as much as new technologies in fabric and garment production mean new and innovative styles and fashions can be created it is often this lasting and classic look that people search after.
