Sportswear.

When i strat my design sketched i like to start by producing around 15 rough drawings grabbing inspiration from my research moodboard. After these rough sketches i then moved onto working on the mannequin but in a different way than i had done befor, so witn some thin strips of paper i created some designs, they wouldnt be printed designs that go on top of the garment they would be how the garment was put together almost sewing lines. I also decided to include a London landmark in my designs, i chose the shard as it was a very modern building and the sleek shapes fitted my style well. When creatimg my final designs i took inspiration from all parts of my devlopmet. I felt like this project was my stongest, i found it was a very flowing project and my final designs were very successful and would of worked out well if had created them into garments. 

Sportswear research.

For my sportswear research i went to a few stores to view the sportswear products first hand, it really helped me to understand and see how they were put together and what fabrics were used for different garments. The nike store had the most interesting content as it was very up todate and very well made, as nike is obviously an established brand i knew befor hand that i was going to see good quality products. One thing that caught my eye the most was this fabric called 3M, when light is shone on it it reflects to create a realu bright metallic like surface. I had seen the fabric befor and had some knowledge onit, however the way that they had been applied to other fabrics caught my attention as small dots of the fabric was arranged into a design.
