Mood Board for Premiere Vision

My new inspirations for my premiere vision collection were amour and a touch of Alexander McQueen. When we went to the Hampton court palace London I fell in love with the paintings of armour on the walls, there were also statues of Romans which sparked my imagination. My research on trends led me to the very dramatic collection of Alexander McQueen, his collection had new interesting cuts and very historically based.

Wallace Museum London

Wallace museum
