Fabric sourcing

well for this current project I have the opportunity to source my own fabrics I could have gone to London for three days but it would have cost me a bomb so there was no point even though London is the fashion capital and I don't argue that fact, its just that as a student you have to save where you can especially in the fashion courses, but i am going off topic so.. I chose the textile view concept of vanitas (Latin for vanity) so it relates to a heavy embroidered feel with a Tudor/Elizabethan influence but I also feel it goes a bit further back in history like the medieval period with the witch hunts and the magna carta so for designers I look toward the likes of Alexander McQueen's collection inspired by Elizabethan Fashion which has a rich and decadent feel but i also looked into the darker side going down the road of religion and death with my own research by sketching skulls and stained glass windows, architecture, blue prints of churches.  

  And below here is a spider diagram of what I thought of when I looked into the subject.
