Colour scheme

The chosen colour palette for this project was initially oranges and blues and the reason for this was is because these colours are very popular on butterflies. From experiments throughout the project, gold and yellows have been added to this colour scheme to make it more colourful and interesting. The colours used throughout this collection was also inspired from a trip to Paris earlier this year, which included going to yarn shops and Premier Vision. Various colour trends on WGSN had also influenced the choice of colours for the palette. The reason for the choice of fabrics such as silk viscose satin and silk viscose velvet was because devoré worked really well on them. As these fabrics have two different fibres, cross dying looks effective as direct dye, dyes the front and acid dye, dyes the back, which helped make this collection so colourful.
