This is a presentation of all completed work for my Fashion and Textiles project. This project was very enjoyable as I like to approach a lot of mixed media and experimental pieces. Working with a variety of materials and different approaches always helps generate ideas which you can incorporate into anything.
For this piece I had incorporated a few of my samples into this embellishment. I’ve attempted to express more colour by creating an ombre effect with watercolours on the cuffs and collar.
I thought about adding an extra feature using embroidery thread that’s overhanging the cuffs, this was a similar approach to a mixed media piece that I’ve previously created.
Here we had a fashion and textile workshop were we had a great time experiencing different approaches to generating ideas and perspectives to creating a garment.
Our first task was to complete a sewing sample using the sewing machine, creating folds in the fabric. The second task was to create an origami coat/jacket using paper. Our third task was to move a piece of fabric around to create a dress idea. The final task was to sketch out your design ideas from your fabric samples onto a mannequin and use geometric shapes to create the shape of the garment.
