Nicole Farhi X Vic Riches Design Project

This is the final result of the collection I designed for Nicole Farhi, as part of the British Fashion Council Competition Kingston University has taken part in.

It was great to be able to work with the label's identity in mind, but also contribute my personal take on design in creating the collection!

As I tried to articulate in my concept video, the inspiration behind this project came from visual forms found in Kinetic Energy: Ned Kahn's Environmental Art, and various kite structures both fed into texture, colour, detailing, and silhouette development.

For the last week, I toiled one of the jacket designs in calico (pictured in the design development spread) which made the project even more enjoyable, and most importantly, REAL!

Nicole Farhi/Vic Riches Concept Video

This is a short video of my concept for designing a collection for Nicole Farhi. The project has been set by the British Fashion Council, and will go towards the Final Year at my BA (Hons) Degree at Kingston University, London!

This video has will not be used for official publication, and is merely a culmination of my research as a student.

The footage contains previous Nicole Farhi catwalk shows, Ned Kahn environmental art, 'Red Dot Design Award' imagery, Fibre Art, someone experimenting with magnets in ferrofluid, and a few other random pieces playing around with kinetic energy. Oh yeah, and the flashy 'kite' graphs are courtesy of Google Images.

Thanks to all for inspiring me!
