During this weeks lesson, we began to widen our ideas and explore what type of objects we liked and how we could potentially look into this to give us inspiration to go down our own path to create our object for later purposes. Firstly, once arriving to our lesson, we were put into tutorial groups.Continue reading “Second week…”

After our first lecture and introduction with our tutor we were then able to visit London as part of our research. During the London trip I was able to see multiple objects that ranged from anything that gave me inspiration on what I could potentially do.  As London is such a large place there wereContinue reading “London trip”

Yesterday we started our first session of Object. Firstly, we were told to bring in objects and place them on the side ready to use later. Once we had done this we were given a presentation on what the Field would cover, over the next five weeks we will be exploring objects and uncovering theirContinue reading “Object (Field)”

Once getting my story and muse I was then able to begin my toile development. Firstly I started off with creating a few drawings of my design, this progress started off rather slow as I was struggling to get inspiration and ideas from my head. However, after a little while and doing some deeper researchContinue reading “developing progress”

I also feel as though the poses were very simplistic which meant the attention was all on the shirt. The bright socks also tied I well with the shirtContinue reading “Photoshoot”

After finishing the toile, I was able to start making my final garment. First of all I collected my used fabric which was bed sheets from my house and dyed the specific fabrics fuchsia pink ready to cut out with my pattern pieces. Once this was done I was able to pin my pieces togetherContinue reading “Final garment”

During this brief, I have created various fabric samples ranging from pockets, cuffs, prints etc which has developed my skills within the technical side of Fashion. Being able to express myself through manipulating fabrics has helped me along the way to change and add certain bits to my design such as adding bra straps, cuttingContinue reading “Fabric development”
