In my moodboard I have used inspirational images of from the Vikto & Rolf (collection Fall 2001), and an image of fibre optics.

This research board is about star constellations. the images are of Silver sparkle hologram fibres.
The model on the catwalk is wearing a dress by Jason Wu Spring/Summer 2013
When researching Star Constellations I have come across a fabric which is a Silver Sparkle Hologram Fibres.withs its holographic effect as the viewing angle changes, different spectrums of colour are made visible which themselves vary according to the lighting conditions and viewing directions. the result is a futuristic looking effect which feels good to the touch.
By looking through Fashion designers I have seen many garments on the catwalk that remind me of Star Constellations for example Jason Wu Spring/Summer 2013.
I will now go in more depth about gravity as I believe every different fabric has its own weight and way of movement.
Gravity is the attraction between two objects. Gravity acts like a magnet, pulling objects together. The earthes gravity is so much stronger the what our bodies posses. no matter how heavy the object is they will fall down in the same time however is something is wind resistant which gets in the way it will slow it down. Gravity in the black hole pulls everything in towards the centre which may be small, it makes the black hole invisible which even light cant break away from its effects.
The same method applies to fabric, and the way it drapes from the body where as if the fabric has embelishment on it, the weight of the fabric will become heavy which will cause it to be pulled toward the ground.
Realistically speaking the black hole is not really a a black hole in space but is a small area which the gravitational field is so strong that light can't escape. the discovery was made by John Wheeler in 1967. Einsteins theory of relativity shows shows that when a star dies it leaves a small dense remnant core. Equations show force of gravity overwhelms other forces and produces a black hole. the black hole can not be observed by a telescope. white dwarfs degenerate stars that represent final revolutionary states of most stars, the black holes are a gravitational collapse.
By expanding my research on the black hole compared to what i had thought was really just a black hole in space I have managed to gain more knowledge on this topic and as a designer I had been inspired by this to create a design collection with a range of outfits by using black velvet for the base and gems sewn on, so as the light can't reflect off velvet it will create a sparkle to represent the stars.
The model above is from Victor and Rolf collection fall 2001
The Red Dwarf is the most common and longest star that has ever lived and has the largest population of stars, non can be see with the naked eye.The Red Dwarf is a cloud of dust and gas which is drawn together by gravity and begins rotating, when it reaches the highest temperature fusion begins.Red dwarf are the smallest stars and are dimmer stars then the sun. they have been found with planets surrounding them and will take a trillion years to burn through their fuel.
The garments in this research board where designed and created by myself in 2014 for my diffusion line and my Red Square project
Stellar evolution are represented by Black Dwarfs and Neutron stars which all use up their energy. Stars that are big and don't lose mass become White Dwarfs or Neutron stars. Existance of collapsed objects are called Black Holes. Stars that have alot of mass end their lives as Black Holes. A typical White Dwarf star is as big as the sun, a bit bigger then Earth.
The outfit in my research board is by Valentin Yudashkin Spring/ Summer 2015
The shoes are Louboutin
