V&A Visit

V&A

Here i visited mainly the textile archive of the v&a to see another side of fabrics, alot of the textile section was made up from embroidery and tapestrys from across the world, from the middle -east through to europe.

From this i learnt how using complimenting colours can change a whole design, i also gained many ideas for prints.

Brocade silk

This reminded me of aztec and tribal patterns, i think theres a so many ideas here to develop a screen print pattern from.

I was drawn to these because of the vivid colours, theres so much detail and so much to look at, i love how they tell a story.

Walking around the V&A i came across various pieces that caught my eye, the cape below i thought was the most impressive, the unbelievable amount of detail and work gone into to create this is breathtaking, i also saw some more ways of designing and embellishing, sequins, beads, rhinestones, embroidery, tassles all things to be considered.
