Courthouse Arts, Geelong | July 2012

1st year fashion design students express their unique vision of a contemporary dress.

chic
adjective
1. elegantly and stylishly fashionable.
“she looked every inch the chic Frenchwoman”
Synonyms: stylish, smart, elegant, fashionable, sophisticated

Each student was given 1.5m of citrus yellow fabric, a basic silhouette and were required to use 60% of the fabric given. I was inspired by colour block, particularly in pairing the colour charcoal, asymmetrical lines, and the latest fashion trend of the time – peplums.
