Synopsis

Pockets of Nature

 Autumn/ winter 2012 collection, showcasing the contrast between nature and the city of wellington, an idea following on from my previous summer collection.

This collection has a strong focus on contrasting textures and shapes throughout the eight outfit collection. Combining patterns from nature and the city with strong lines and a combination of flowing and structured fabrics. All fabrics used are made from natural fibres, which fits into the idea of ‘pockets of nature’. Colours have been derived from the shades of autumn and the buildings in the city. Garments can all be combined together to create variety with in the collection, layering together leggings, dresses and cropped jackets with luscious chunky woollen scarves.

In designing this collection I have kept a strong focus on the trends of the season. Ensuring this collection would capture the interests of my peers, my target market of 20-30 year old women. I believe this collection has been successful in portraying my concept of combining the city and nature in a contrasting and trend focused approach.
