competition

i have chosen the seat by mango competition.
a competition to design an accessory for cars, i chose this so i could expand on my knowledge of fashion design, delve a bit deeper into this world, as fashion design ultimately is about selling perfumes and scarves right? haha
i chose this to challenge myself or to break away from my final collection.
i have recently been training myself in crystal healing.

with an emphasis on amethyst as a strong crystal in the "radio waves are bad for you kind of sense"
- amethyst helps breakdown negative energy and focus your mind and soul on positivity.
its a stone that brings health and security.
i decided to imply the notion of amethyst in a print design.
after all the number of people injured on the roads in the uk in 2012 was 195,723
so i thought id add a bit of spiritual safety to each seat!

here is the mood board, showing examples of crystals 

here are the final designs as we only had a select pantone colours to choose from i obviously chose black and white, it wouldn't be 'SLATE' unless it was monotone.

here are the final designs, showcasing a monotone palette and a graphic crystal print.

emulating the city scape, just as the brief ordered, design for the city for an urban woman.  

i missed the deadline, something i need to work on, my timing!

 which you will find more about as i post more to this blog!
