For this dress I was inspired by the textures I found on a visit to the Hunterian museum in London and Alexander McQueen. During my visit I observed the different colours and textures on animal and human body parts that really fascinated me and so I started drawing them. I was previously engaged in investigating cultural differences on fashion and sketching different dresses that contained elements of Oscar Della Renta and Alexander McQueen's tailoring. I furthered this interest by specifically looking at Alexander McQueen's work and in combination with the observed textures from the Hunterian museum I came up with a dress of my own. I made my dress using red cloth and recyclable materials like mirrored paper. I named my dress after a red bird (Scarlet Ibis) because some of the textures from which i got inspired included its feathers.
