The concept for my collection is determined by a variety of influences. The first was the contemporary installation art of Tara Donovan. Donovan creates huge biomorphic forms out of ordinary objects (buttons, pencils, straws). The work Donovan creates appears to be a living, organic mass that is growing and spreading so I used appliqué to create structures that appear to be growing on the garment. When researching into the building up off pieces to create organic forms I came across the appearance of scales I nature. I also noticed that samurai armour was similar to scales in nature in that it intended to protect and yet still allow movement. I was also influenced by a trip to the digital design exhibit ‘De:code’ at the V&A which explored the latest developments in digital and interactive design. The colours of the digitalised light were what inspired my colour palette. The scales and digital artwork also informed my fabric print design.
