This project is inspired by Burma/ Myanmar and buddhism in the country. The use of gold is prominent throughout the culture and also is in this collection. Silhouettes are inspired by traditional womenswear in Burma and traditional clothing worn by women in many different tribes from different states of Burma. Detailed research was also carried out into the current political issues of the country and has been carried through into some of the textiles ideas, other textiles are inspired by jewellery which is worn to represent wealth within tribes. This has also been used to create new, contemporary embellishments in this collection.
