Imperial War Museum

Went to the Imperial War Museum in Salford last week and got some good photos; it was a great source of inspiration for primary images and I took loads. I was looking at different textures and materials that link in with my predicted trend and managed to find a section of clothing from soldiers uniforms to nurses capes- the thick tougher types of fabrics that are part of my trend. There were lots of metal surfaces as well to take photos of and some have turned out really detailed. The colours Link in as well as for the war there were more neutral tones.
