Nostalgia A2 Textiles Project

I decided to base my project on Nostalgia including old photos and vintage style fabrics. I researched artists using this style and created samples in their style. I am now on to the development part of my project, I have decided to create a family tree. I researched it on ancestry.co.uk and I have found out so much about my family past. It's so interesting to find out about them and look at personal records including birth certificates. I am thinking about creating a wall hanging for my final piece including all my family photos which will also be a keepsake.

Elie Saab

I am really inspired by Elie Saab's Haute Couture collections, I love how he has used lace,crystals and flowers on his dresses to create a vintage style look. His A/W 13-14 collection uses a range of colour palettes from dark greens to pastel pinks. Elie is one of my favourite fashion designers and has inspired me throughout my school and college textile projects.
