Thesis (BTech (Fashion Design)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010 / The study within my context is one of a personal nature with regards to the
suitable selection of fabrics for a ladies clothing range. I've always played around
with the idea of designing a ladies clothing range using hessian as my fabric of
choice, not for any particular reason in mind just simply, ... ."that's what I felt like
doing at the time", this however was not received well, it was considered by
lecturers, my peers and family members, as an inappropriate selection of fabric
for a ladies clothing range. This lead me into thinking that as a designer I am
bound by design ideals which restricts my creativity to explore and experiment. Is
it then not a possibility that I could set my own design ideal?
Given the negativity surrounding such a proposal, I chose to research this
concept regardless, that is after all what research is about, exploration and
experimentation.
I chose to follow in the footsteps of the late Gabrielle "CoCo" Chane!.
