Looking back at my research of the folklore tale of Yuki-onna (snow woman) to gain inspiration for my colour scheme. I want to use very pale colours to represent the elements associated with the winter setting such as the coldness and the snow. In the different versions of the tale Yuki-onna is depicted naked or in a white kimono so I could represent this in a sheer fabrics such as voile or chiffons.
After discussing the developing concept with my tutor, it was agreed that the combination of heavy fabrics along with the lighter weight fabrics to give the warmth that is desired in winter clothing would help develop my idea to a concept.
The suggestion of the use of really traditional winter fabrics like furs and suedes (only faux) and textural fabrics to establish the concept was mutually agreed upon and would have a clear link to the winter environment of the tale.
