Exercise 01

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SPRING/SUMMER 2007

"why have a bouquet of flower when you have a gown?"

Through this exercise i find a very interesting and imaginative designs , this dress include the element of shape / silhouette where is looks like shape of bouquet of flower , the texture and colour gives out a soft but strong looking . Principle will be balance and rhythm.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HAUTE COUTURE SPRING/SUMMER 2014

Next, The principle of fashion will be the butterfly , it automatically catch the attention to the viewer. The texture of butterfly is just like how those butterflies in the real life.

JACQUEMUS SPRING/SUMMER MENSWEAR 2020

I love how Jacquemus add the earthy tone colour palette as to their element of fashion design (colour) , the design of this long sleeve is just look like an oil painting texture which make it more interesting unlike those normal formal long sleeve.
