Uni Project: Coco de Mer

After a year studying contour at London College of Fashion, I have found myself stumbling through our first industry project. This term we are working with Coco de Mer to design a range for nightwear for A/W16. This has been both challenging and exciting as we have never designed or really looked at nightwear on the course so far. I have really enjoyed experimenting with traditional nightwear styles to create something more fitting with the kinky Coco style.

The brand were keen for us to develop an individual concept for our ranges so mine were inspired by Italy, especially Italian architecture and wild flowers.

They picked one of 3 ranges for us to develop and then picked one piece from this range for us to make and present to them. Here is my teddy design inspired by St Mark's Basilica in Venice.
