‘Create a fabric for either fashion or interiors’ was the brief I chose out of the Bradford selection. As this project is running for 4 weeks in comparison to the longer second half of the practice unit I decided to take a chance. I would like to angle my work toward the fashion field as this something I haven’t explored within my work.
For this project I have captured initial photographs to collect some inspiration from the natural forms of rocks, shells etc.
I am interested in fabric manipulation and reflecting upon my photos there are many aspects within that relate to this process for example with the shells there is a correlation to pleating, folding, layering, gathering and the barnacles convey an aspect of manipulation possibly Suffolk puffs. In terms of a colour pallet I’m going to take tones of muted beiges, greys, creams and whites from my initial photographs. I also drew inspiration from textile artist Kathleen Morris who incorporates fabric manipulation within her work, she also has some pieces which she works in a similar colour scheme.

In terms of context as this is a fashion led brief I have been researching designers. Below is a dress designed by Iris Van Herpen, this designer uses fabric manipulation to create there garments which is something that I would like to look into. This is the context in which I see my work fitting (fashion industy). I will look into where I feel my work fits in terms of high street, boutiques or runway as I sample through this unit.
