Colour: Resene Switched On

Resene Switched On

“Yellow is a very bold, dramatic and uplifting colour. My inspiration for this design came from looking at edgy dark images that had pops of bright yellow colour. These images inspired me because of all the different shapes and what I could use those shapes for.

In my experience of lockdown I really struggled with not being able to go anywhere and being stuck in the same environment. I felt trapped and alone. The yellow represents freedom, happiness and feeling uplifted as we were finally allowed to socialize and be back to our everyday life. Leaving my house for the first time was the best feeling. I had never felt so free and happy and ready to start a new beginning.

The images I were inspired by all had either curves, symmetry, layers or structures. These images inspired me to make a bold, dramatic and edgy garments to represent me coming out of the darkness and into the light and to also represent a new chapter and allow myself to explore new and different styles. The curves are where I got my inspiration for me pants as they will stand out and be different. By having big dramatic cowls on the sides the waist and hips are accentuated, and also it looks more alive and edgy on the runway to give the colour the drama it deserves. Having the same shaping on the sleeves as the pant, but in a mini version, connects the two garments together and also gives the garment a silhouette.

The name of my Resene colour is called Switched On and to me this represents starting a new chapter as turning on the light to a brighter and happier future and looking at life in a more happy, grateful and positive way.”
