Our project sport vs fashion was hard to get my head round at the begining. We then went to visit the V&A to see the Sport Vs Fashion exhibition, I really enjoyed the exhibition and it got me thinking about all the things that I could do, it also made me realise that fashion and sport do come together, as before I thought that sport was a seperate thing and it was all to do with its specific function and the performance of it, rather than fashion I now know that it can be both and they work well together.
It took a while to get the project started, but once it was goning it seemed to go well. I enjoyed researching different designers collaborations and different performance fabrics. i decided to base my outfit on Rugby as i have been brought up with the sport as all my family plays it and i also used to. I found that there is not much out there for womens rugby and it is very much like the mens kit. I also found that fashion did not really play a part in the kit for rugby. I found this a good opportunity to explore what I could do with garments for womens rugby.
While doing this project I was talking about it down my local rugby club and i was then asked by the people that sell the kit could look at my designs or come up with one for the women at the rugby club. So when i had made my toile i took it down there and showed them and they really liked it so they now want my designs and flat drawings and a tolie to take to their manufacturers to be produced to sell for Bognor Rugby Club. i was really proud and pleased that they liked my work and want to use it.
