Each board is telling a story of the outfit I am planning to design. Print ideas have been taken from the words and story of goblin market this will also help the colour story. Construction ideas will develop from the shapes created by the beautiful architecture and interiors of Strawberry Hill House and 1960s couture fashion will add a element of historical fashion with which to bring all these ideas together.
This technique for making origami in a bodice was demonstrated by Shingo Sato on you tube the most precise easy instructions to produce a piece of fashion sculpture. This was my first attempt I am so impressed by the ease of which this can be accomplished I am planning to do more experimentation with these methods. It could add another dimension to the creation of my final collection.
These trousers are a mock up. They are an example of what they might look like for my Indigo collection. There are approximately 24 pieces on the legs each matching the back, these were probably the most complicated thing I have constructed they took 3 days to make. They need some adjusting as I really wanted them to be fitted to the leg but I can make the adjustments on the pattern. An idea to develop in my final major project.
Goblin Market a poem written by Christina Rossetti, it is a poem like a story from the brothers grim, a bit dark and sinister but with a happy ending. I love it and I know it is a great inspiration for my final major project. Snow White which is coming out in June 2012 is adding a more contemporary element to my poem and the stories are similar. My collection is for Spring/Summer but will have a tran-seasonal feel. Multi purpose garments this is how my wardrobe works and I want to translate this into my designs
Indigo print ideas, these are my final collection of prints. My inspiration wall, this has been a new experience at college as never before have i had my own space, but this is it and i am really enjoying the process of looking at my inspirations throughout this project, as well as the final results keeping me on track.
So Christmas has been and gone and its the start of the best year ever. Portfolio ideas! Technical drawings and a new innovative way to display my work. So I have been looking at the Marni website for inspiration. It is a great insight into this company and is full of fabulous creative ideas. The final hurdle before Final Major can't wait soooo excited. My brain is bursting.
