80's Glam.

I was set a task to create a futurespast project, completed by creating a two piece outfit taking inspiration from 80's fashion, art, illustrators and lifestyles....after researching these aspects of the 80's I designed a 16 garment collection, I chose to bring elements of power dressing into my designs, adding elebrate detail and attention to detail...I picked what I think is my strongest design to create........

Using bold, rich material is created my garments and accessorie...

 After creating my garment I created a photoshoot to display my garments digitally...



The Big Draw M-Shed.

After completing my project on the industrial reveloution I was asked by the organiser of 'The Big Draw' (national art campaign) in Bristol to showcase my outfit at the M-shed in Bristol:

The day was organised to help inspire children and the public into art, and as the M-shed is an industrail museam, my outfit fitted in to the surroundings. I modeled my own outfit and Siobion modeled christopher's outfit............  

We wore our outfits for 3 hours, letting the public and press take pictures and draw us ....... we then put our garments onto a stand and set up a display table to showcase our sketch books and design process.....

We were interacting with the public explain processes and a future pathways.......overall I hope we inspired young children about art and fashion.  

Industrail Revolution. Batch 13 - The Off Cut.

My first project when returning to my second year at college was based on -  The Industrial Revolution...

I began by doing a ot of research into all areas and factors of the revolution including :

Constructed textures created at this time.

Machinery and materials used at this time.

Shapes and structure used in garments wore.

I then explored muti-media to create art from my research...going on to design a 16 piece collection adding a constructed fabric within each design...constructing my final design into an outfit with an accessory.

My final design...

I produced a sample book and toile for my final design.....

I then created my final garments ......

the corset ...

the knitted skirt....

the bussel....

the headdress......

and accessories....

After creating my final outfit I decided to produce a photo shoot to showcase my outfit into a final outcome.... I chose my location- the Bristol Docks to link in with my brief...... I also set up a photographer and another model to complement my outfit...... These are the photographic outcomes.....

Evaluating the photo shoot I would say that choosing your model carefully to complement your look...... I chose Rahda she has confidence and a strong facial look..... she was enthusiastic and willing to listen to constructive criticism and advice.... this made the shoot successful and fun.

The only thing I would change is the other model..... she was very inexperienced and didn't have a lot of confidence.... feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera shows up in final photos and working the camera is essential.

Knittwear Styling.

I have been doing a project on Industrial Revolution, I've explored lots of different ways of how to make fabrics for example Knitting, Patchwork and crochet.....

Coincidentally a Make -up artist friend of mine ask me to style a photoshoot for her to submit to the Vouge website.....

I used alot of layred Knittwear to style the autum themed shoot.....
