Fashion & Textiles

Paper Manipulation

First day of the week for fashion and textiles, i was so excited. I love Textiles, and texture. All i thought about was what will i be doing for the week, I've been waiting for quite some time and here it come; Paper manipulation.
Not exactly what i expected, since i find my weakness in fashion as structure. So all my excited was all just gone. Ooh well, fashion is fashion ill do anything to succeed.

First initial task was to create create texture and structure with paper, and use any of the equipment that was given.
Here is what i created:

 

 

 

Later on, we got put into groups of 3/4's and everyone had to bring all the structural and textural pieces they've created, to make a garment out of them.

Each garment had a theme, according to the theme we had to create a relevant outcome.

The first piece was to just experiment with our own paper samples. On the other hand, the other garments we had to keep moving right in every 5 to 10 minutes.

 

 

Original Piece ( Front And Back ):

 

 

 

Focusing on the shoulder, where we thought overlapping was a good idea, that way all the attention would directly go towards the shoulder, it almost felt like a shoulder pad.



 



 

 

 

Sexy was the next theme, so my group thought it was okay to have some skin showing. Hang on! It was almost naked. I tried to convince my group, that it wasn't exactly meant to look like it was exposing itself, maybe a tight skin skirt was more relevant ?

 

 

Gothic - I think this was my personal favourite out all the ones Ive done in group works, because of the way it represents itself on the mannequin, it really does look Gothic with the shapes and structure.

Romantic, i believe that this one has no relevance to the theme, if i was to refine, what me and my group have done, most certainly leave it simple and make it elegant.

Bottom exaggeration ? I loved this one. The out come was very successful, and exaggerated. perfectly related to the theme.

Go Wild. I really like this theme, it gives you the freedom to play around with all the all the samples you have, with no specific idea/ clue of what your about to do.
