Here you can discover and explore the way how Hannah designs and creates her clothing through her design sheets. These design sheets show Hannah's inspiration and ideas which lead her to create a final piece of work. Without the design sheets and planning stages there would be no final product.
Each design sheet relates to a certain piece of work that Hannah created and shows how she was influenced by the themes and where she gained her ideas from. The descriptions of the design sheets are explained by Hannah herself.
Design Sheets.
Higher Art.
"I have always been interested in combining my love for nature and fashion together. I continuously take inspiration from Alexander McQueen, Zac Posen and Ellie Saab type garments which illuminate with nature themes and express femininity."
"For my garment design in Higher Art I chose to take inspiration from decaying flowers and plants, and focused in on the unusual form that dying plants turn into, taking this I tried showing this process in a dress. I really enjoyed this project and I think it was my start point in Fashion Design."

Advanced Higher Art.
"With further inspiration in nature, in my final year at school I decided to develop this theme further and create and even more exciting garment with the inspired theme name called "Flight in Nature." I Focussed mainly on butterflies, birds feathers and falling leaves within the autumn time.
"Personally, I found that I preferred the development part of this project rather than the final outcome. However, the final outcome came out the way planned and I am very pleased overall."
Glasgow Caledonian University.
"When in my final year at school, I was given the chance to attend 6 month course, once a week, alongside my other subjects at Glasgow Caledonian. The course was ‘Fashion Brand Retailing’, catered for 6th year students who are thinking of a possible career in fashion and this was to act as a stepping stone before actually going to University."
"In my case, I was scared at the thought of leaving school and making that lifetime choice. I was in between the possibilities of studying media or fashion. I thought I may aswell do this course to find out if a degree in fashion was for me. The course included a bit of everything; some designing, business, marketing and creative projects."

"The course really made you learn how to work in groups and gave some experience in giving presentations, writing reports. Which really did prepare me for my current education now at Heriot-Watt University (BA Fashion Design)."
"For the final hand in we researched into a brand sold at Urban Outfitters and taking a garment we developed it and drew designs from that. The bohemian and feminine brand ‘Free People’ was my chosen brand and I just LOVE their clothes."
"I really enjoyed this course and it definitely gave me that extra edge when applying to universities, especially when applying to other uni’s for Fashion Design. I also really enjoyed this course, mainly because of the passion which was taught by Nicola O’Hara."

"One project we were put into groups and had to make a paper dress, which was pretty fun, getting creative and experimenting with applying paper to the form in different ways."
