To explore the concept of deception I considered ways in which people perceive things as deceiving. I thought that this could be achieved by something being hidden or not seen in the first glance is a way of conveying that idea. I considered the structures of the knitwear and garments and decided to focus more on the little detailing and edges and trims.

The large ruffles in this garment have inspired me to consider the way that the knitwear would move when it is being worn, the structure of the knit could make it so things are being hidden and revealed depending on the angle it was being viewed from. This also made it feel more relevant to focus on edges and trims based on the placement on the body. If it were a trim to a three quarter length sleeve the detailed areas of knitwear would be in areas an d joints on the body that would experience the most movement.

The practice of the two coloured flaps worked well for the concept of deception however I feel to push this idea to be more relevant to my drawing I should experiment with breaking the rigid straight lines and blocks. This is because the drawings are looser and are fluid like that movement of the dancers. I also want to revise my yarn selection, as the lambs wool is slightly to heavy and flat. I feel that a yarn with a pearly quality would be more relevant for the collection because I see these fabrics fitting into a couture female fashion collection.
