For my final degree collection I chose to look into a number of historical and contemporary costumes that interested me. I began by looking at the Russian dynasty, and the costume Imperial Russia, which greatly influenced my colour palette and fabric choices, and later developing these ideas by exploring the Russian revolution, traditional folk costume, and modern day contemporary culture gave my work an edge to the original regal influence. My project later started to develop into juxtaposition of old and new, royal and folk, masculine and feminine, and on my journey through my development, my designs came to an outcome of what I like to think of as “Regal Revolution”.
