To begin with, I gathered
research from magazines and the internet, including websites such as Pinterest,
and using Google image searches, to access individual websites and blogs, which
helps me find more research. On this page, I focused on my colour palette of
black and white. The images were found from a University prospectus, and helped
inspire some shapes and prints that I then drew around the images. I was particularly
inspired by the clean cut shapes, and the structured, cut out collar. Which
helped inspire my paper manipulation on the right hand page. I cut out black
card to create a 3D effect, which then inspired me to do the same with felt,
and sew wire into the back using a zig zag stitch on the sewing machine. The
image in the bottom right hand corner, is this experimentation on a mini
manikin, moving the wire to create a 3D effect.
The design on the left was
inspired by the cut out collar on the white jacket, I replicated this collar in
a top, but which also has a cut out back, which comes to the sides at a point.
I paired with a pair of cropped white flared trousers, that are high waisted
with a structured waistband. The middle pleated material, will either be
printed, embroidered or a different fabric, hence the experimentation in the
bottom corner. The next design is a cut out collared waist coat, which has a
leather bottom which is cut out in panels, inspired by the stripes on the back
of this page. The dress underneath is
finished with a skort like hem, inspired by the triangle images next to it. It
will then be embroidered with structural lines. The designs on the right are
interpretations of my felt experimentation seen on the manikin. The piece is
very bold and structured, so it has been placed on a simple cotton shift dress.
The wire would then be bended to create a statement.
The whole of this page has
been taken from a University prospectus found at a UCAS event in Manchester.
Although the colours do not stick to my colour palette, the shapes apply to my
geometric concept. The design on the left, the top is inspired by the image in
the top right, with the arm in the purple block. I took this and created it
into a cross over, structured and avant-garde top. The skirt is inspired by the sculpture on the
left hand side of the model. The pastel palette of the mood board inspires the
colour of the garment. The right hand page helped to inspire model poses. I
like this pose, as it makes a statement and is very structured, like the
garment. I have used a simple dress, possibly made out of a printed scuba
material, to help hold on the shapes, inspired by the mood board. The hem will
also have hanging shapes, made out a strong material.
This mood board is to help
inspire my silhouettes, using images of interior, shapes, patterns, sculptures
and existing designs. Once I had created this moodboard, I then picked out
certain aspects and created experimentation. The bottom left experimentation
has been created using leather, white mesh and a sewing machine with black
thread, and has been inspired by the structural prints on this page. The
experimentation on the right is made using printed cotton and black leather,
inspired by structural squares. The illustration on the right, underneath, is a
longline poncho, which flares out to a point at knee length, and comes together
with a knitted bottom. The design is inspired by the image of the woman in the
black outfit, and then sewn into with bold lines and shapes. The design on top
is inspired by the light hanging image, and will drop down the body, using wire
and mesh inbetween.
The illustration
on the right, underneath, the dress is inspired by the black and white vase to
the left, which would be recreated in a similar way. The neck will be high, and
pleats will fall down from it to the sleeves, which reach a point. The bottom
of the skirt will be made out of chiffon which falls out of the bottom of the
skirt. The design on top is inspired by the 3D shape in the centre of the page
and the triangle at the top of the left page. The top is a structured jacket,
made out of leather and wire. The skirt is two joined triangles, embroidered
with thread and materials.
This
page is created using only images from magazines, it features existing
designers, architecture, colour pallets and textures. The design on the left,
underneath is inspired by the black and white magazine square print and the
stripes from the existing garments. The top is a printed material, embrioded
using leather, the frame is made of black tape, with wire in to create a strong
frame. The flowing skirt underneath will be made of white mesh or cotton. The
design on top, the top neck piece will be a choker, made out of wire like
material, which will then join down onto the garment, like the existing designs
on the page.
The
top half is inspired by the structural shapes at the top of the left hand page,
and will be recreated using pin tucks in white cotton. The belt is the
experimentation which will be found on the next pages. The A line skirt will be
made out of two different materials, the one under the pleats being made out of
a printed cotton. The curled tape is inspired by the one on this page, I would
recreate this using wire and white tape. Underneath would be a simple pair of
pleated and structured culottes. The design on the right hand page is inspired
by the lamp shade in the picture, I would imagine this being made out of painted
and cracked leather pieces, joined together on a bodysuit.
These
pages are a collection of imagery of Gareth Pugh's 2015 collections. I have
chosen this collection to be inspired by because it is minimalist in its colour
palette, but avant Garde in its designs, which are structured and bold. The
experimentation on the left hand page is use of heated Tyvek, which shrivels. I
did this because I wanted to experiment with paper-like material. The design
underneath is inspired by the images to the left of it, the large ruffled
skirts were statement pieces, and I decided to turn this into a dress, fixed
with a tight belt. The thigh high leggings are inspired by the boots.
For
the design on top, I have used blended felt tip pen as the skin colour, which I
found rather effective. The cross over, buttoned up bodysuit is inspired by the
structured collar of Gareth Pugh's jacket design, the bodysuit is firmly tucked
in under a pair of white culottes, inspired by the ones on the left hand side,
these would be made out of metallic material and white scuba. The body piece,
which my customer would remove after making an entrance, is made out of wired
black plastic, which hangs off the hips and holds together at the front, inspired by the ones on the right
hand page.
Experimentation
– I have painted red leather with holes in using white emulsion and attaching
it to white cotton before going into it by machine stitching black thread into
the holes for a geometric minimalist shape effect. I then created a design
using this experimentation, the front and back panel of the dress would be made
like this, the side panels would be sheer black mesh. Black rolled sleeves and
a printed striped turtleneck would accompany the dress.
.
The right hand side of the page shows that I have researched into monochrome
trends, a colour palette associated with minimalism. Bold accessories show
power and dynamic views when wearing black and white for SS16. These designs
are inspired by a range of sketchbook pages. The left design is inspired by
Gareth Pugh’s 2015 collections. The jacket is inspired by his own, using
silver beading for embroidery into white leather. The body piece is inspired by
the top left image on the previous page, with pointed stripes, the body piece
can be removed for comfort after my customer has walked the red carpet.
Underneath is a metallic fitted skirt, inspired by the boots on this page. The
design on the right, the top is inspired by the lamp shade as on the previous
pages, and would be made out of cracked black leather, sewn onto a bodysuit.
The belt is white leather, with weaved silk ribbon in and out of the belt, as
seen on a future sketchbook page. The scuba skirt is inspired by the ruffles on
the Gareth Pugh skirt, however, ruffles are a huge trend for SS16 and it would
be important to reflect up and coming trends in my designs, therefore I added
some printed cotton culottes that would emerge from the drop hem skirt,
inspired by Gareth Pugh.
