Finshed Garment

So finally my shoulder piece is complete :)

I constructed my garment out of leatherette as it gives a nice solid structure to the garment. My colour scheme is simply black and white.

Silhouette Sculpture Complete...

Here's some photos of my finished sculpture... I'm planning on pulling some shapes from these sculpture photos.

I think the shapes i pull from the photos are going to be both geometric shapes from the buildings and very natural shapes from the trees.

I think this sculpture gives me a good contrast of geometric and natural shapes.

Shadows of my sculpture...

So before my silhouette sculpture is finished I decided to mess around with the ideas of light and shadows.

I added trees into the silhouette to add more designs. I think the trees make cool shapes to pull shapes from.

This is the first step of my sculpture and I think it turned out as a success. My sculpture has alot of photography included in it.

1. Silhouette - For this board I picked silhouette pictures that all have the same tones of grey in them. I picked an Alexander McQueen design as alot of his garments change the silhouette of the human figure. This is my favourite board out of the three of them and I think this will be the theme i go with for my project.

2. Acidic- For this board I bleached back paper for the background to give of an acidic feel. I picked the topshop garment as i think it fits in with my mood board the best.

3. Slippy- For this board I mixed blue and black latex and poured them down a sheet of white paper to give off the idea of slipping. My swatch is blue fabric dipped in wax, when it dried I crumpled it into a ball, i then poured layers of wax on the swatch.

Slippery Garment

I have 2 slippery garments to pick from.. one high fashion garment... and the other a very un fashionable garment...

Wetsuits - An obvious one..

Gareth Pugh

I picked this garment as Pugh uses shiny slippery leather and the design on the body of the dress reminds me of the scales I was researching earlier this week.
