SKETCHBOOK DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH

Leave a Comment

This moodboard is Issy Miyake SS15, I found this collection on the VOGUE website. I chose it because it is structured, clean lines. Experimentation on this page, in the bottom corner is heated Tyvek embrioded with black machine stitching. The 3 squares of material are Panama cotton, which I have embrioded into. On top, I have attempted to recreate the pleated textiles on this page, by using Tyvek and strong mesh, using pin tucks in geometric designs.

 The design on the left is a basic A line dress, inspired by the A line white jacket on the left page. the panel on the left is made out of pin tucked Tyvek, and the pocket would be pin tucked mesh, to create a see-through pocket. The design on the right is inspired by the shoulder piece on the left page and the origami inspired top on the right, the silhouette is a rounded hip shape, with folded white material, that is pin tucked on top. The sides of the dress have tucked pleats hanging away.

 Experimentation page. I have gathered textile images from our college Pinterest board that can help inspire my designs that are related to my theme. On the left hand page is black leather, painted with white emulsion and sewn into with black machine stitching. I think this looks very effective yet minimal and I will use this in my designs and develop it further. I then used white mesh and painted with black and white paint, and peeled some away. On the right hand page I have recreated the pleated top, and pulled through white cord, using machine stitching. The belt has been inspired by the white leather with white silk pulled through, I then took these experimentation pieces and applied them to a manikin, transforming them into a top and belt.The illustration is a recreation of this manikin design, paired with a pleated black leather A-line skirt, the middle pleat being painted with white emulsion and stitched into and cracked. This page has helped me to use my experimentation with fabrics to build an outfit only using textural research, using a minimal colour palette.
 In this moodboard I have looked into the use of origami in fashion, researching into existing designers which can be found in my bibliography. The white paint and black ink paper is what remained after pulling away the mesh on the previous page, I have used it here as it looks rather effective. I then used a YouTube video to create an origami star. I have also included a few fabric swatches and created my own beads using heated, glued and wired Tyvek around a wooden stick, before pulling it off and using them as beads. The design on the paper is inspired by the ruffled origami dresses on this page, it is shorter at the front and longer at the back, with pleats emerging from the neckline and side seams. This would be made out of a flowing material, that can be easily manipulated, such as cotton.
 The second design, the top is a high neck, with standing up ruffles, using interfaced cotton and wire. The skirt is inspired by the triangle top below, I have transformed this into a skirt that has several triangle shapes hanging off, made out of leather. The design on the right, I really liked the origami top on this page, and it inspired me to create a cut out top, to create a geometric shape in my minimalist design. Emerging from the seams of the skirt, are structured ruffles. The body piece on top of the skirt, is a structured piece that rests on the hips and ties at the front, inspired the image at the top right. I would fold and pleat material in an origami style, and join them together. The skirt is an A-line with clean lines, with 3 stand up ruffles, using wire.
 The page on the left shows that I have researched into SS16 trend forecasting, that I will then keep in mind when designing myself, as my customer needs to be wearing current trends, and be aware of what not to wear this season. The main trends of SS16 are the delicate slip dress, strong shoulders and off the shoulder looks. Metallic’s, tailored women's suits, trousers and culottes. Most importantly, pin stripes and ruffles will be seen everywhere this summer. I will incorporate these into my designs, as my customer is a major fashion icon, who people look to for current style inspiration.
 I needed to be more inspired by fabric manipulation to create geometric and origami pieces, this mood board shows my favourite picks from my Internet research using blogs and Pinterest. My experimentation on this page is use of pin tucks in printed and plain cotton, this has created a very effective piece and structured lines. I have cut out pink leather and painted shrivelled Tyvek, joined them together on a manikin to create a brooch embellishment, onto a mini black leather dress, created using a mini manikin. On the left hand page, I have created a 3D design using pleated chiffon and cord as a belt. This helped to create a flow of ideas, and how simple techniques such as pinching a waist with a belt, can create a tailored effect.

The design on this page is inspired by the top next to it, which has been manipulated into a stand out skirt. The poncho top, is inspired by the image at the bottom, rippled paper. To develop this further, I could add some embellishment to make a more Avant Garde piece. The designs on the right are inspired by the pleated paper, that I have folded and manipulated to create a garment, as shown on this page.
