FDA........Jenny Packham design house project

Diamond Doll

I completed my work placement at Jenny Packham design house situated in Kentish town, London.
Jenny, a British women's wear designer, specialising in high end bridal and ready to wear evening wear.
The style Jenny portrays within her design work is very feminine and sensual incorporating vintage cuts and delicate fabrics adorned with elaborate detailing.
My inspiration is drawn from the delicate detailing of the lingerie range and the soft hues of the colour palettes envisioned from previous collections at the design house. To create that old show time glamour, i captured essences from the frivolous show girls of the 1920's, focusing on the lavish adornment and beading in which decorated their costumes.
