Through this project I have tried to push my boundaries’
through pushing my idea’s further. It past projects I have struggled with
having to narrow of a concept/theme, so for this project when I eventually set
myself a concept I made it broad, giving me room to explore and research different
areas of the ‘distorted reflection’ subject. This project has also put into
perspective where I think my work fits in the fashion industry and who
contextually I am inspired by. On reflection I would manage my time better so I
would have a larger and more substantial final collection, but I feel that the
final collection is very successful in the quality of the knit and within
relation to my brief and subject matter of distortion. I feel like I have
communicated my idea’s well from visual to practical work (knit) I think the
balance of colour through my collection is very successful in that the grey doesn’t
make the sample dull, as I have balanced it with highlighted areas in the shades
of peaches, blue and light silver colours. I also think that my technical
ability especially on the dubied knitting machines has improved greatly during
this project allowing me to expand the techniques in my collection and this will
also help me as I carry on through to unit X.
