Throughout the weeks I have sampled
and ended with a small collection of beige and brown samples and a large
collection of tones of white pleated samples. I feel there has been successes and
downfalls within both collections. I have incorporated techniques such as:
-Pleating (made a pleating card)
-Cornelli manchine stitch
-Hand stitch
-Embellisher
-fabric manipulation
-Trapping
-Heat press printing
Beige/Brown collection:
There has been success and downfalls
within both collections firstly I don’t feel that the colour scheme was quite
right with the collections as adding the blue to beige and blue to white was
too harsh when in fact looking at my inspirations I wanted to create a more
subtle colour change. I also feel that I struggled with the idea that
simplicity is best. In some samples I have used too many techniques because I thought
that’s what I should do instead of trusting my gut and artistic eye. However
there has been successes, I have gained a greater knowledge on pleating and
some samples were simple but effective.
White collection:
In terms of context I was looked
over my artists and designers and I’m drawn back to Iris Van Herpen. Below is a
close up photograph of one of the designs, the idea of the pleating being the
shoulder of the garment is something interesting as it stands as a focal point
for a statement piece. The chosen materials of my samples and the pleats are
quite delicate and fragile as a result of this I feel the fit more as a
collection of one off pieces to be in boutiques or runway instead of being mass
produced on the high street.
