For my MA project I wanted to research into dress cultures that I had a limited knowledge of. After looking into what is considered the traditional dress of China, Japan and Thailand I wanted to present my finding in a way that would also engage and educate others. As a result, I started experimenting with InDesign to create research books, inspired by the style of the Victoria and Albert exhibition guides. I thoroughly enjoyed this process, incorporating my written work with my digital drawings, pattern plans and dress observations, and would like to continue writing and creating research based costume books professionally - particularly detailing different dress cultures, their history and origins from around the world.
