Initial 40 Designs for the Collection

To create a well thought out and balanced collection, I developed the colour palette into 40 models to try out different ways of putting the hues together - which ones complimented each other, which clashed, which harmonised and which contrasted. The results are quite interesting as shown below. I really like the effect of some - others were not so successful, therfore I will elminate around half to be left with the defnitive collection for Miu Miu Autumn Winter 09/10.

Within this 20 there will also be an element of divide, the colours having split personality families in terms of their chromas and values, which will sit well with the Miu Miu schitzophrenic element of both design and colour to suit their target demographic. 










The combinations that worked best were:
  • reds, grey, violet, slate and yellow
  • slate, caramel, and violet
  • teal, tea, caramel and peachy beige
  • dark green, teal and caramel
  • reds, violet, tea and peachy beige
  • teal, dark green and reds
  • yellow, tea, teal and dark green
I will now select the 20 best combinations to submit for my final Autumn Winter collection.
