On Monday I had to create a theme board based on the word surreal. Initially I stated looking at the work of Salvador Dali and other surrealist painters but then I watched the film Pans Labyrinth and it completely changed the direction I wanted to go in. It is made by film maker guillermo del toro and is about a little girl who finds out she is queen of the underworld. I absolutely loved the film and thought it was so imaginative and the theme of magic and nature made me decide I wanted to look at nature and surrealism. This was a good exercise as it proved the point that the best way to have originality in your work is to have a started point that is not necessarily fashion based.
I think this theme would lend itself to a de-construcred knotwear collection.
