Miss Newcastle...the year of BOLLYWOOD!

As part of another work placement a few of my class and I will be designing and making one of the garments for the Miss Newcastle final. Each year a theme is picked that will be suitable for the winner from the previous year.We have been asked to produce the themed garments which this year is Bollywood as last years winner was of Indian origin.
I am excited to produce the garment and see one of the contestants wearing it as we have been invited to go to the final!
I have researched Bollywood and the style and history of it all. I have also looked into Indian culture, art, and landscapes and have established a colour story that consists of earthy tones such as burnt orange and sand with hints of gold. I have also researched fashion designers that have been influenced by indian culture such as Hermes and Reem Acra.
This week I am goin to have a look in local Indian Fabric shops and hope to start making asap!
