Primary
Research – to gather some primary images, I have used collected images from
several different places. Some being from a UCAS events in Manchester, where I
was inspired by existing students work. Another being from the John Lewis
building in Leeds and an Issy Miyake bag, the Expo Gate in Milan, a cinema and
architecture in Paris, and a wall hanging I found in IKEA. These image include
several aspects of geometry and minimalism. The design underneath, the collar
and chiffon sleeves are inspired by the existing garments, the chiffon would be
a checked pattern. Around the neck is the wall hanging from IKEA, shrunk down
in size and created using origami techniques in either Tyvek or white cotton.
The skirt is inspired by the Expo Gate and the image next to it from Paris.
The design on
top is inspired by the wall of John Lewis, and would be a black and white
stripe pattern, possibly appliqued on in a material such as felt. The top is a
cut out back in the shape of the Normandie cinema’s front design. The right
page is the Triennale Museum in Milan of sculptor’s work. The design on this
page is inspired by the sculptor’s vase with cut out pieces, with a curvaceous neckline,
the long skirt would reveal from underneath of the short dress.The other design is inspired by the black and
white seat, which would definitely be a statement piece for my customer to wear
to an award show. These stripes would be created either by creating my own
print or embroidery, as my market level is couture so it needs to be handmade
and well finished.
This page is
inspired by architecture, I have researched into this because of the geometric
aspect within my theme. Therefore, I have looked into modern architecture from
around the world that could inspire my designs. The design on the top left is
inspired by the louvre and the image in the right corner. The skirt would be
made out of strong and structured fabric such as neoprene. The top would be
printed and tie at the back as a halter neck. The design sketch at the bottom
is inspired by the bottom right image, which I have rotated and transformed
into a structured skirt. The V-neck bodysuit is inspired by the architecture
with the stand out rectangles, this would be reflected as they would stand out
off the body suit. To develop these designs further, I could work more into
them, as they are just sketches.
On the right
hand page, I have also been inspired by modern architecture, I have created two
sketches based on these. The left hand design, the shoulders are bold and stand
up, inspired by Sydney harbour. The top is a v-neck bodysuit with revealing
sides. The top half of the skirt is inspired by the structure, second down from
the left. It would be sewed with wire in to help it stand up, as would the
shoulder pieces. The bottom half of the skirt is inspired by the top right hand
picture, the skirt meets at a point at the front, with a cut out design on the
left revealing the leg. The design on the right, the big shoulder sleeves are
also inspired by Sydney harbour, but are sleeves that meet comfortably under
the arms. The dress is inspired by the triangular building in the bottom left,
this would be made by sewing black or white leather triangles onto white mesh
or skin coloured powernet, met with a subtle ruffle at the hem to keep on trend
for SS16, as my customer is very influential.
