Playful promises

After a weekend at home I have arrived back in Gala town! This week I have so much to achieve, especially when it comes to the Playful Promises competition that I'm entering, as the closing date is next Friday. Having never designed underwear before, this is a nice new challenge, however the theme is a bit strange. The collection will be called "Paradise" but I am asked to explore the idea of 2030 meets 1950, (future retro). It doesn't stop there, the brief asks me to explore the emergence of the east, as well as a poem "Paradise Lost". I automatically thought of Paradise as Heaven, which also led me to the Garden of Eden. I am working at combining eastern influences with what I associate with Paradise.
