Giovanna Cellini



Giovanna Cellini always starts by sketching in pencil. Creating separate drawings, then uses a computer to overlay the images creating a collage effect. Mainly using black pencil and coloured pencils, occasionally using black ink and adding colours on the computer. I think Giovanna Cellini's work is most suitable for highstreet and ready-to-wear. Her work has been used in fashion as prints on garments. I believe her work is a young edge style and love that some of her work is like doodles done straight into a sketchbook, i think that the overlaid images create depth and interest in the work, and find her work beautiful and inspiring.

Deanne Cheuk



Deanne Cheuk uses a variety of media including, watercolour, pencil, ink, heavy watercolour paper, Photoshop and Illustrator, combining traditional and none traditional techniques.
I think Deanna Cheuk's work is suitable anything from high-street to the couture market levels, depending on which imagery is selected to be used.
I adore the combination of  solid inked lines against the soft watercolours and the text and pictures that are overlaid onto the images. I think these techniques give the images a soft femmine mood.

Final Collection...

I'm currently researching and starting to design my final collection for my end of year fashion show. I am using the Art Nouveau movement and also fashion trends from that period as inspiration. I started the project focusing on architecture, using photo's i took in Antwerp to develop shapes and patterns to use within my collection ..... These are some of the photo's i have been working from ..... 


This is defiantly my favourite building i saw. It had huge elaborate decoration around the window's and doors, it also had a beautiful staircase leading up to the front door, with twisted, classically Art Nouvau style banisters.


This is another one of the photo's i took. This building really reminded me of Gustav Klimt's work. I adore his work, i think his use of colour is beautiful and would like to incorporate some of the colours and patterns he uses into my final collection.
