Contextual studies

I have just started my new course at Heriot Watt and in 2nd year fashion. Its a completely different way of teaching from college although I am really enjoying it. I feel I do a lot more on my own now and have no limitations on what I can do with my work.

Monday's I had contextual studies and although people said it would be boring I actually really enjoyed it. We where talking about the impact art has on fashion. So I have started on the reading list.

I have looked at a book called "Fashion Designers sketchbook" by hywel Davies, where I found quite an inspiring designer I liked. "Eley kishimoto", designs are quirky and unique with a lot of pattern. It relates a lot to work I have done in the past and things that have inspired me.

Eley Kishimoto does amazing prints with bright colours and beautiful patterns.
