My original inspiration for this surface pattern design was strangely enough Brigitte Helm's character in the silent masterpiece Metropolis. This is because a reference point mentioned in the brief was science fiction.
As the surface pattern design progressed and I decided upon a fashion
based textile responce I was reminded of the fantastic costume Siobhan Fahey wore when I saw her perform. The theatrical monochrome catsuit really
evoked the idea of the character of Maria in my mind and Siobhan seemed
more like a sort of mechanical creature than a woman on stage. I could
immediately see her wearing a catsuit with this surface design as she is
well known for her fantastic edgy style. I think she'd look amazing in
it.
This is the original catsuit worn by Siobhan on her 2010 tour which inspired me to use my surface pattern design on a catsuit.
This is how Siobhan would look if I was lucky enough to apply my surface design onto a catsuit which she wore.
I'm really pleased with how my Metropolis design would look. Although I would prefer my surface design added to a catsuit more like the original illustration.
I hope you like the design. As ever feedback is always welcomed.
Well until next time,
Cheers Then!
