Porfolio Session 2. Creating the mood board


After collecting pictures that went best with our themes. We had to take print outs of them on glossy sheets, like that of the magazines. Basically to give the mood board a quality feel.

Mood board is what sets the mood of the theme, for us and for anyone who's going to view our designs. Textures, construction details and colors to a large extent have to taken from out mood board. This would be our go to place for inspiration and ideas.

Some of the themes my friends selected were; rain forests, marbles, underwater plants, ballet, paper, rough diamonds, maternity wear, etc.

Mine is looking down. Looking down from a height, the feeling of confidence hence felt, and the appearance of all bigger objects as small. This is my inspiration for the collection. I haven't decided on how many pieces I'm going to be making but what i do know is I'm going to do an avant-garde collection and each design will be paired with a tones-down RTW garment which would be in Hijab. Which is my design aesthetic.

So anyway getting back to the mood board, we selected various pictures and made a collage of them on an A3 size ivory sheet.

The first most important step of our portfolio was hence created. If you have your mood boards ready and want to share them leave links to them!....
