Revolutionary

The word revolutionary as described in the Oxford English Dictionary is:

• Adjective - involving or causing a complete or dramatic change.

Using this word as an ultimate theme for the project, I plan on creating a fashion inspirational trend book which will explore my interpretation of 'revolutionary' and what this means to me within a fashion direction.

For my final major project within my foundation year, I looked how light can be created in different ways,specially looking at spectrum's of colour using prisms and other materials to create varied effects. During the project I visited the Design Museum where Hussein Chalayan was exhibiting his work to date. The two collections which stood out - Readings (Spring/Summer 08) and Airborne Autumn/Winter 09). Both motivated by his ideas drawn from history, science, philosophy and technology. The use of technology being an integral part of his design, with use of led lights, crystals and moving lasers within a fashion concept.

This idea of wearable technology is becoming more and more progressive and I want to interpret my own take on this idea and create 4 trends consisting of DIY blending materials between functional and decorative, and wearable technology, with light being a theme shown throughout.
