Inspiration: The magic of summer on the Greek Islands. I looked to my own heritage for inspiration in this piece. My curiosity in the mystery of the old historical islands drew me to incorporate some of these striking elements into my design. The style and suitability of the lightweight fabric is relevant to the summer months as it cool and comfortable. The clear water surrounding the white clay houses on Santorini inspired my colour choice (blue with white polka dots).
Creativity: The surface decoration on my playsuit is polka-dotted ENTIRELY of hand-sewn buttons.
Innovation: My playsuit’s pattern has been combined with the halter top and tie coming from VOGUE V8079 (#D Size 6) and the mid panelling and shorts from VOGUE V7882 Size 8. The fabric choice will also challenge the conventional idea of matching lining, by contrasting the polka dot external layer to the gingham-check lining. The concept of turning of turning a classic 1950’s swimming costume design into a modern summer garment is also a new and innovative idea.
