Thoroughly enjoying this exercise ...
I've used the interesting 'Cornflower / Sweet Pea' colours & the 'computer-design' sunflowers to create first concept for a kimono-based garment.
Cornflower & Sweet Pea Kimono |
I've chosen this style of garment because of the simplicity of its shape - it then relies on the attractiveness of pattern & colour for visual impact. According to Wikipedia, the sunflower (amongst other things):
- is one of the city flowers of Kitakyūshū, Japan
- has heads sold as snacks in China
- one species, Velvet Queen, has lovely shades of reds & blacks
