A-LEVEL TEXTILES
My A-level Textiles project was focused on exploring ‘The Fabulous History of Drag’ which launched my fascination in all things eccentric and glamorous, leading me to design and make costumes influenced by drag artists and culture.
My Rocky Horror Picture Show dress
Design inspired by the character 'Eddie' & Sue Blane's iconic Eddie Jacket
Flamingo Headdress inspired by drag & burlesque elements
Peacock and flower hand embroidery using the Brazilian flower technique and woven wheel stitch technique (31cm W, 22cm L)
Experimenting with colour and texture within the theme of my project
Batik sunflowers using appliqué, hand embroidery and paints 46cm L, 30 cm W
Large poppy using hand embroidery and free-hand machine embroidery, batik and appliqué and beading 38cm L, 38cm W
Flower hand embroidery using daisy stitch technique and French knots 16cm L, 16cm W
Final piece: Through this project, I channelled my self expression through these pieces leading to developing a drag character representing who I am & my love for drag, 'The Pink Lady'.
