Los Delicados - Inspired by Mandarin Duck

For the third project in Design Research and second project in Project Workshop (I asked the lecturer to combine them and since he didn't mind, I did it. *wink) I did a children's wear

Children's wear for me is hard because I'm not 7-10 years old kid anymore and I had to deal with color blocking due to my inspiration had lots of color blocking 

Hope you guys like it :)

Inspiration: Mandarin Duck

Client: 7-10 years old girl

Subject: Design Research and Project Workshop

Result: at least I pass

Additional notes: can't be copied, my lecturer saw these already, from the beginning 'till the end

The Loose Dandies - Inspired by "In Dahomey" musical

Soooo.. after the deadly Sweeny Todd project was done, I had to make another portfolio and solve other 2 problems, which were tall, narrow/wide shoulder, and narrow/wide hips.

The first thing that I did for finding the inspiration was looking at Victoria and Albert Museum website and I found out something about History of Black Dance: The Origins of the Black Dance (not being racist, but that's the title) and it caught my eyes. After reading it, I fell in love with "In Dahomey" (1920's musical)

Hopefully, you will like this collection :D

Inspiration: In Dahomey musical

Client: 17 - 22 Year old woman, living in Singapore, with Androgynous style

Subject: Design Research

Result: at least I pass

Additional notes: can't be copied, my lecturer saw these already, from the beginning 'till the end

 

Project Workshop final project: Half Albino Peacock Dress

So I have to research and design an evening wear for my last project in Project Workshop. This is the deadliest and the most challenging project of all time during my time in Raffles. 

Inspiration: Half Albino Peacock

Client: 22-26 years old woman, who have the courage to show their sex appeal

Look: Feminine and Sexy

I have to say this project is quite challenging, even though the inspiration itself wasn't so hard when we have to design an evening wear. Weeelllllllll.. my senior did an evening wear inspired by peacock also (but not half albino peacock), so my lecturer expect me to do something different. So, I came to this! Hopefully you guys going to like this :)
