Proposal

The Wanderer.  

I have looked different places around the world Pakistan, Dubai and Morocco after looking at my own primary images and secondary I have decided to focus on Morocco, the colours and variation of patterns that are simply timeless are so inspiring to me. I will focus on looking at colour and pattern throughout Moroccan interiors.

  

I will look at designers that have been inspired by Morocco, and artist that have been inspired by block colour and possibly pattern. I will also touch on the European influence on Morocco during and after several European country’s invaded morocco, I will document all my research on my blog. 

I will also use CHANEL as one of my inspiring designer simply because CHANEL is a French company and I want to create a collection with an European element but with a Moroccan twist. My main reason for doing this is because when morocco was invaded by France, the French left an imprint on the Moroccan's for example although people of Morocco speak Arabic the dialect differs from other Arab countries as some of the words spoken have elements of the French language. What surprises me the most is how much the French influenced morocco yet it seems that morocco has not influenced France. I believe now is the time to take such a well know European designer such as CHANEL and their classic style and give it a Moroccan twist.  

I will look at how traditional Moroccan fabrics and modern fabrics and experiment with traditional embroidery and try and modernise it. I will also use some of my primary images to create new patterns and look at ways to modernise the patterns. As part of my development I will create various fabric samples and prints and sample these through my designs using photoshop. I will also try out projecting my prints on to mannequins to see what shapes take place for my design inspiration. 

Once all of the above is done I will create a series of boards from concept, colour and texture. Moving on I will create around 20- 30 designs one my designs are complete I will choose one design and create my CAD that will then be used for my pattern and construction module. All the above will be documented throughout via my blog and evaluated to ensure I create good work.
