...and a QUEEN was born

Before i did anything first thing was first!

I needed to check I had some important items

1. I had my muse - Annette Kellerman

2. I have my 3 inspirational images - given to us by our lecturers

and

Last but NOT least

3. I had a red bull - For energy, hydration and brain power :)


Annette Kellerman!

A feminist, A vegetarian, a swimmer, a costume designer, a mermaid, a movie star and believe it or not so so so MUCH MORE


After reading all about A. Kellerman i knew my swimsuit had to be

STRONG but at the same time FEMININE

SOFT and FLOWY but at the same time ARCITECTUAL

and

INDIVIDUAL!!!

so as you can imagine i had quite the task on my hands...

An idea came to me when i was reading up on A.K!

She was cast in a film named

QUEEN OF THE SEA!!

So from that moment on...I decided that is exactly what my swimsuit will be...
She will be DRAMATIC, She will be POWERFUL and she will be a QUEEN!

I really got attached to the idea of a queen and my inspirations came alot from this idea.

After looking at current trends and everything else I thought seeing as I only had about 48hours i should get a move on and start DESIGNING!

I hadn't really worked with this kind of material in the past

and I'm just going to be honest..I was a little bit worried... OK OK.. A little bit more than worried!

SO..I thought before I get to carried away ( i tend to get carried away) with design I should TEST out a FEW ideas.







IDEA 1 : Solid Tubes - remind me of the ocean and coral and annette kellerman's strength, they will be solid and stong! Just like her!


NOTE: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

PRO's:

Looks effective
Different
Solid and at the same time soft

CON's

Finding a material that won't resulting in tears!!






IDEA 2 : QUILTING (Picture coming) - Reminds me of queens, this side showing the softer side of her, the glamorous side! the woman!


until next time...
