I have always been mesmerized by the outstanding beauty of the Indian Culture. During my research I fell more in love with every aspect of the culture; the festivals, religion, architecture, patterns, art and colour. However, the main factor behind my desire to study this beautiful country is the astonishingly intricate attire - generally associated with "Bollywood".
Throughout my project I want to extract colours and patterns from all aspects of the Indian culture, with the aim that I will create my own patterns - influenced by those I have studied - and create a more refined and modernised version of the typical wedding 'Saree' or 'Lehenga', possibly combining the traditional Western style of wedding dress with the patterns and intricate embroidery of the traditional Eastern (specifically Indian) wedding dress. I hope to advance my sewing and dressmaking skills throughout this project through heavy embroidery, hand sewing and working with new fabrics that I have no previous experience with.
As a passionate dressmaker, this project excites me as I can see astounding potential for my textile work. I want to portray my appreciation for the Indian traditional colours, craftmanship, textures and embroideries through my personal perspective.
