My new design near completion!!!

Hello,

My new design near completion!!! It’s so much better than the old one in terms of the aesthetics and concept of YUKI-ONNA for fall/winter 2010.
I’m introducing more new features for my bag design: inspiration, colors scheme,detail and materials.

In fall/winter 2010, my design is back to the aesthetic of the old japanese folklore,YUKI-ONNA, who is the known one as snow woman,Yuki-onna appears on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and red lips. Her inhumanly pale or even transparent skin makes her blend into the snowy landscape (as famously described in Lafcadio Hearn's Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things). She sometimes wears a white kimono,[2] but other legends describe her as nude, with only her face and hair standing out against the snow.[3] Despite her inhuman beauty, her eyes can strike terror into mortals. She floats across the snow, leaving no footprints (in fact, some tales say she has no feet, a feature of many Japanese ghosts), and she can transform into a cloud of mist or snow if threatened.

The bags collection is  reconstruction of the ethnic japanese craft and samurai detail costime. The materials made from kimono-obi fabrics. Silhouette of bags is bucket, cameras, clutch, drawstring, hobo and tote.The mood reflects to be cold of blizzard,foggy and the graceful of noble japanese.

The colours scheme basic is the tones of black-grey-white-pale pink,the fashion colours is the red-blue of fabrics and accessories.

Sketch of the first, is the double handles medium size with long shoulder straps. Decorated with the elements of samurai armour. Another design will upload soon!!!
