Haute Couture

Scenario

You have been head-hunted by an international fashion company who have seen your graduate show and want you to develop a capsule collection for them.

Begin your research in any or the following ways:

Galleries

Museums

Music

Films

Collecting things that interest you

Drawing

Photography

I feel I personally drew the short straw, I got the Italian designer Roberto Cavalli.  My Initial thoughts were of disappointment, I really DO NOT like his work, however I am assuming he has come to me because he wants a bit of class and sophistication. Class and sophistication are two elements that I hope to bring to the collection. Cavalli is well known for his printed flowing dresses and his use of denim TACKY!. I am hoping I can pull out a few Cavalli attributes and also impart some of my own style, and produce a fresh original collection.
