GRADUATE COLLECTION

GRADUATE COLLECTION

A TRIP TO BALI

A Trip to Bali is the name of my graduate collection. Our graduate collection is an avant grade collection and I chose Bali as my concept. The reason I chose Bali as my concept for this project was because it had the best of all worlds with its refreshing forests and jungles, magical beaches, wonderful culture and majestic animals.  I did in depth research on the Balinese culture and noticed that they tend to use a mixture of prints, bright colours and lots of gold in their cultural clothing. I used all my research conducted to design five final garments, three of which we made. In my designs I used a variety of different bohemian elements in the outfits such as layering, wrapping and a bunch of different trims such as gold tassels, binding and gold discs to create my bohemian avant grade collection. The colours I included in the collection are very eclectic and bright, I also included animal print. The fabric used in the collection included georgette, chiffon and dull satin. All these fabrics are light weight and flowy which matches with the zen and relaxed vibes of Bali.

MOOD BOARD

Out of the three looks we are making this year, we have currently made two. The first look I made is called the Tigerlilly set and it is made up of a halter neck top and a long panelled skirt. The second look is called the Indigo dress and it is a halter neck dress that has an elasticated waist band and a asymmetrical hem. 

LOOK 1: Tigerlilly Set

The Tigerlilly set is the perfect set for summer if you want to show off some leg. The calming colour combination includes green and blue with a dash of leopard print and gold. The Tigerlilly skirt is a panelled long skirt with two thigh slits. The skirt has alternating green and blue panels in georgette. The waistband is in a chiffon leopard print. In the slits are striking gold tassels. The Tigerlilly top is a cross over halter neck top, the one side is in blue georgette and the other side has flattering tiers. The tiers and ties for the halter neck are in leopard print georgette and are finished off with gold binding. 

LOOK 2: Indigo Dress

The Indigo dress is a cross over halter neck dress. The vibrant colour combination includes bright orange, snake print and gold. The top of the dress is a cross over halter neck that is in an orange dull satin. The ties and the waistband are in an orange snake print chiffon and the ties are finished off with gold binding. The bottom of the dress is in a gold Zara satin. The dress has an asymmetrical hem with tassels along the hem.
