Production Technology: I used many different textures of the fabrics in this collection to make it attractive. Very thin plastic fabric combined with thick jersey, hand knitted and crochet sweater, the cutting of the patterns and the ways to wear.
Design Challenge: Research for the right tone with different textures of the black fabrics and sew together, combined hand knitted and crochet together with special knitted pattern.
Research: After research, started play with the fabrics to make the perfect match combination. Confirmed the style and started the pattern marking and tryouts. And then research the yarns for the sweater and play with the different patterns to match the collection style.
Inspiration: The inspiration of this collection is about Rothbart transformed his daughter to look like Odette and try to temptation the prince. The black with evil, sexy temptation. Black is a mystery colour to me, it is really good with this magical moment.

Operation Flow: Research of the different textures of the fabrics, Create patteren blocks for each style and fitting. it is insteresting to use with non-usual fabrics. A few knit and crochet patterns need to be done before start to make the knit sweater.
