Final Design Fabrics and Concept
To create a strong and structured garment, we have chosen to use heavy weight cotton and a silver leatherette, as well as clear PVC. For the pleated skirt, we wanted to emphasise movement, to do this we are going to use a plain grey fabric for the main of the skirt and a silver reflective fabric for the inverted pleats. This idea will mean that any movement in the garment is emphasized by a 'flash' of light reflecting.
Final Design-Group Discussion
After comparing mine, Lisa's and Empress's designs, we began to decide on a final design. At first we came up with a design which included a 'hood' like feature, but after many discussions we decided to change the design feeling it wasn't innovative enough. Our final design consists of Empress's ''accordian'' like cape which we have changed into a skirt, and my design of a boned top with draped fabric. Due to time limitations though we have decided to just focus on the ''accordian'' skirt.

Connection
The connection between the skeleton. The skeleton gives us protection and movement, the spinal cord is a vital part of the nervous system and transmits neural signals around the body. I will focus on the protection the skeleton gives to our major organs and the connection between our spinal cord and brain, joints, and muscle.

30 Years of Japanese Fashion, Exhibition, Barbican Centre London
This was an exhibition, showcasing Japanese fashion from the early 1800's to the present.
It included work from Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo. Japanese Fashion is used to challenge the western ideas, rather than creating fashion for beauty it is used as an expression of art.
