The celebration I have used for inspiration is Notting Hill Carnival as I find the West Indian culture very inspiring and also wanted to choose an event that's<br />
held in London. The vibrant colours, creativity and detailing that goes into every carnival outfit provides endless ideas for embroidery design. I have taken<br />
influence from various things such as traditional African dashikis, African bead embroidery, tribal designs and different fashion and textile designers who<br />
have taken inspiration from their culture. I have used traditional embroidery techniques and combined it with unusual materials such as zip ties and jump<br />
rings to explore the link between tradition and innovation. The colour palette I have chosen reflects what I found when researching into carnival outfits<br />
and I feel that they all go quite nicely together. I didn’t want too many colours in my designs as the embroidery was already quite busy. I wanted to create<br />
a playful and dynamic garment, which clearly shows the link to Notting Hill carnival and the outfits with a more couture look.<br />
