FMP | Introduction

A slight change in my dissertation lead to me changing my initial FMP proposal.

My FMP represents ‘how African clothing influences Known brands’, particularly looking at how people in today’s society wear their traditional dress and bring African print to modern clothing E.g prints on hoodies, bags etc.

I am very passionate about culture and love learning about cultures and traditions of others. Throughout this brief I will be looking at West and Central Africa in particular.

I will be developing a final outcome by using illustration, colour and photography. In doing this I hope to show the importance of being proud and representing ones cultural clothing. Also showing how African clothing has influenced our clothing industry, whether it be brands such as Nike and Adidas to Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent.
