1/10
initial research and response, looking at pre-raphaelite women and their oversized silhouettes which were unprecedented for women at the time and the corsetry they were expected to wear.
2/10
2 paintings that i did in acrylic. trying to not be so scared of making mistakes.
3/10
further research. looking at the film ‘princess mononoke’ by studio ghibli which became a comfort film during lockdown due to its beautiful use of illustration and animation and the journey that the protagonist goes on. the beginnings of researching japanese garments and the way that they can tell stories about the wearer.
4/10
muses. trying to illustrate my own woman from my head.
5/10
toiling process to final garment.
6/10
more research. looking at japanese garments alongside more of my own illustrations that i did as a way to describe where i was at during such a confusing time.
7/10
more painting and illustrating with some painted gathers.
8/10
2 of my garments that i hand painted. i would go on to paint them more.
9/10
painted jacket and zero waste trousers. jacket inspired by japanese haori jackets and painting inspired by abstract expressionism and trying to follow my instincts.
10/10
the jacket that i made and painted. photos inspired by the awkwardness of zoom calls and the bedroom that i did my final year from.

Danielle Murphy

BA (Hons) Fashion 2021

I am a womenswear and print fashion designer whose work is influenced by fine art movememts and genres such as abstract expressionism as well as oversized silhouettes and the comfort that I have found in wearing clothes that almost drown the body. My work is also very much inspired by my love of painting and portraiture and painting which I incorporated into my final year outcomes as I painted directly onto all of my garments. I have also been inspired by the weird and dark space that the pandemic pushed myself and so many others into this year and trying to navigate such a blurry situation without losing your head.
