Developing my initial research of the jacket I began to deconstruct and reconstruct narratives for the jacket whilst also exploring motifs, colour and mark making. Through abstraction of the jacket's velvet base and floral design I played with my illustrative style in a way I could translate into stitch. Playful illustration and use of collage to build up the rich texture I loved on the jacket whilst also rewriting the possible life of the jacket. I can already see my graphic work translate well on the multihead, whilst I plan on exploring devore print to rereate the layering effects of my drawings and fragility of the jacket. The element of 'Dandys' is a key interest at this point, as I explore what kind of 'man' could have wore the jacket; the materials and techniques challenge traditional ideas of 'masculinity'.
