development of designs

Leggings -

I would like to keep the pants simple and contoured close to the body. This is because the prints looks best when pressed flat and on fabrics such as polyester and elastane blends, which naturally fit to the body.  Having wider leg pants would look strange with a pattern and would be difficult to construct with the fabric I have chosen to use. Another reason for the simple leggings is that the jackets are not fitted to the body and therefore the wearer's figure would be obscured by bulky loose fitting garments. At least this way, with the tighter pants contrasting the looser a-line jackets you are able to see the wearer's figure. I like the idea of having similar styled pants and consistent styles of jackets so that the whole collection is easily interchangeable and can be worn together. This is more important in a diffusion line than in a high market range. Note that the images used in the tights are of sewing machine mechanics and parts. These images were taken by me and then edited in Photoshop. Therefore, no legal concerns are present in regards to this, as I first expressed concern over earlier in the project.
