"Bohemian Rhapsody" was inspired by the song sung by Queen. Then, I designed this tunic dress. The flowery patterns on the dress are a reminder of happiness, like rhapsody in "Bohemian Rhapsody".
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a short dress for women to wear for shopping or for a stroll in the beach. It has flowery-like prints, which are radiant and fun.
I used pencils and copic markers to draw it. The dress is made from cotton with tie-dye, thus creating many bluish-white spots, similar to many flowers clustered together, like poppies. In this dress, not much contrast in colour and textures is used, as the dominating feature of this work is the pattern on the dress.
The pattern on the dress is similar to choppy brushstrokes. My intention of making my patterns like choppy brushstrokes is to create an impressionistic look. I was influenced by the Impressionist, Claude Monet's style of painting, and I designed a dress based on his ideas combined with mine. I wanted to use art history in fashion design. By designing such a dress, I have conveyed my message, that clothes can have painting styles like Impressionistic features to it, and I think I am successful in conveying this.
