Aside from colours that represents different images for my collection, geometric, digital prints and pixilated prints are being used as prints and patterns As mentioned earlier, elements from the architecture of Olympic stadium are presented in my collection. The architecture elements for instance the geometric construction of the stadium is first dissected and separated, following by transforming these elements to form shapes lines and to the garment. For example the triangle shape as a V- neck line, circle as a neck-line, waist band or cuff. The Olympic symbols like Olympic ring, Coca-Cola beat box are transformed, flipped, rotated and using mirror design and pattern in Photoshop to give a contemporary touch.

Other details added in my designs are sport-element influenced designs with a combination of sophisticated tailoring and wide-shouldered tracksuit. As for sport cuts details, exposed zippers, utility pockets, flaps, straps, pin tuck are used to imitate rib knit cuff and collar to give more sophisticated look. Detail piping are also used. The bright and bold colours are used to create a contrast with the usage of Luxury -based fabrics: silk duchess, silk organdy, sheer stretch silk and Lycra or Spandex.

Fabric

The choice of fabric is indeed essential to the garment since it does not only create comfort for the wearer, but it also represents characteristics for them. My personal choice for fabric is Lycra or Spandex which adds sensuality, shapely-fit, all-over stretched and comfort. This fabric is commonly used to create sportswear. Further, I also chose silk in order to turn sportswear garments into a city-attire with luxurious appeal. Silk can certainly increase a clear feminine aspect to garment. With these choices of fabric, the design of the garment is slouchy and luxurious with a powerful contemporary touch in materials.

With the combination of the design research conducted, these lead to the concept of my design which embraces a sense of elegance, trendiness, sensibility as well as comfortableness with the usage of key items and fabric. Additionally, the usage of colours is essential to portray characterizations of the wearer, while prints and patterns on the garment have the ability to attach more stylish and trendy elements to the design.
