My piece is about the celebrations associated with Girlhood and 'Coming of age'. I have taken inspiration from<br />

the Sofia Coppola film "The Virgin Suicides", the kinds of memorabilia we collect during our adolescence, the<br />

excitement of prom, and the feeling of not being quite ready to say goodbye to our childhood. In my sample I<br />

have used tailor tacking and french knots to build the texture of the rabbit's face, along with a bright colour<br />

palette, hand embroidery, sequins and beading to make the sample pop! I would like to take this piece forward<br />

by making a whole top with the same concept, with lots of bright colour and motifs patched together to make an<br />

exciting garment that echoes the nostalgia of being a teenager – the confetti at the end of a party, the scrap<br />

books and trinkets strewn across a bedroom floor.<br />
