Charlotte Clarkson
Graduate Fashion Textile and Design student at The University of the West of England. I am a passionate sportswear and outerwear designer, with strong Adobe suite skills focusing on CAD drawings and garment construction understanding. My experience showcases my abilities to deliver clear processes from ideas to reality. My focus as a designer is developing garments that are both a clear reflection of my research topics and my ability to create functional, technical garments that are a new reflection on modern ideas of what sportswear and leisurewear can be identified as. I take my main ideas that come from
Exploring the Juxtaposition Between Sportswear and Couture Through Presenting Interior as Exterior
I developed a greater interest in to the way humans drape and decorate their living spaces, and how one can start expressing themselves on the outside as we express our personalities in the interiors of our homes.
CAD Drawings Supporting - Exploring the Juxtaposition Between Sportswear and Couture Through Presenting Interior as Exterior
These working drawings are a clear representation on the skills I have on Adobe software - Illustrator, and successfully showcases my understanding and passion for technical garment construction.
Exploring Through the Process of Bricolage, Developed from a Research Enquiry into the Complex and Multi-Faceted Nature of ‘Community’
Design development through exploration of shape, silhouette, colour and pattern. I worked through processes such as drawing, manipulating fabric on the stand and collaging textiles and colour together on the body.
CAD Drawings and Line up, Developed from a Multi-complex Research Enquiry into 'Community'
These working drawings are a clear representation on the skills I have on Adobe software - Illustrator, and successfully showcases my understanding and passion for technical garment construction. My range plan displays my creativity and innovation within sportswear design.
Collaboration Project - Craig Green - Drawing Development Exploring Silhouette
I have studied into the farmers of Japans landscapes and taken references from the traditional garments worn throughout different areas of the country. Silhouettes can be taken from these traditional clothing pieces that work sculpturally around the body.
Collaboration Project - Craig Green - Range Plan
Final design outcomes developed from the research topic around Japanese rice farmers, exploring the way their farming garments work around the body and how they can be manipulated to create sculptural and engineered pieces.
