BA (Hons) Cordwainers Accessories: Product Design & Development
The concept for the collection comes from the camouflage and deceptive techniques of nature to protect itself, using print to distort shape and what the eye is drawn to, to confuse and disguise. There is also a playful element with the shapes of pockets, which are camouflaged with the print, giving an edge to further deceive and confuse. There are three different clashing classic prints used with various versatile themes of bags and accessories, including beach, work and evening, with interesting 3D pocket shapes to match, each with a sense of character and humour. My aim was to create a unique unisex collection to really push the boundaries in terms of playing with shape and form, creating an element of suprise and fun whilst still being functionable and easy to wear, letting the consumer show personality with the pieces. My approach to accessories is to create something playful with personality, with unique and modern approaches to material pushing shape and form with a fun twist and perspective, creating a suprise. http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2012/07/shoes-n-things.html http://futuremap.arts.ac.uk/about/
