Project 2

TEXTURE



The dress in this picture reminded me of a flower. More specifically a rose. The texture of the bottom of this dress seems as if it is manipulated into the shape of a flower.







This dress resembles this chandelier in color as well as in texture. The chandelier's crystals resemble the embellishments of this dress.




The beading in this dress reminded me of diamonds. Diamonds are hard to the touch, the beading in this dress also seems as if it would have the same feel to it.




The feathers in this dress resemble the feel of the feathers on this flamingo. The feathers are soft to the touch.





The texture of this dress resembles flower petals. It seems as if it is soft to the touch like the flower petals.





The fur in this dress reminded me of the coat of fur on these polar bears. The fur in this dress may feel soft to the touch.



The layering of this dress reminded me of the layers of bamboo. To the touch, the bamboo may be harder than the dress but the layers are similar.




This dress has a snake skin patter and seems as if it has a snake skin feel to it. The dress has a scaly look just as the snake does.





The texture of this dress reminds me of the texture of this birds feathers. They both seem as if they are soft to the touch.




This dress has a scrunchy like look to. It resembles the flowers because the flowers have the same scrunch to them.

About Me...


I chose this picture, honestly, because it caught my eye. I would love to design dresses like these. You could see this dress at any event and it will catch the eye.

This red dress is just beautiful. It looks comfortable and it seems as if it is easy to move in. I can see this being worn at an event such as the Oscar's.

These last outfits are some of what I would like to do as a designer. These outfits are for the everyday business woman. I love looks like these.


My name is Lauren Walker and I am aspiring to be a fashion designer. I would love to design for the everyday woman and I recently found love in men's fashion. I love all types of fashion but I must say that designs for the everyday woman are what interests me. I get inspired by everyday things.. Sometimes I look into the sky at night or day and see beautiful colors. I automatically think... dresses and then a certain style comes to mind. I try to incorporate my mood and the colors that I see into a garment when I'm sketching. I also am inspired by everyday looks that people put together. It can be gothic, conservative, or just plain crazy.. whatever the case, I try to find inspiration in everything I observe and feel.
I chose these pictures above because I feel that they express the types of designs I would like to do.
