Final line up
This week I have been working so hard to refine my designs for my project and figure out which are the best six outfits to use for my final line up.
I have chosen the three colours for my collection; Purple, Orange and a bold pink. I kept to a limited number of colours, as this fits with the theme of block colours, and also then there is more possibilities for different outfits within the range, and links everything together nicely.
To figure out my final line up, I went through all of the designs that I had done previously, and re drew all of the designs that I felt were the most successful and out them together on one page, so I could see which I felt went together, and which ones out of these were working the best.
I needed to make sure that my range had something for every occasion. Trousers, dress, skirt, jacket, top and vest, I felt that these items were necessary for a good varied range.
For my fabrics, I am using a cotton jersey, to give garments movement, and for evening wear I am using satin, to give a high class look but not for much money. I feel that these fabrics fit well with the brand that I am designing for, and I have seen the use of these materials in the topshop ranges before.
I have now picked the outfits for my final line up, and now just have to render it in a way that reflects the audience that I am designing for. I am trying to think of names for my collection, I want something to do with board games as where that is where my original inspiration came from, or something to do with circles, as also the garments all have a circular or rounded theme.
This week we also had our last lecture for fashion, art and culture before we start on research and designing our ideas.
Looking at all of the inventive products and designs from different designers has really inspired me, and I can now think of doing something really creative and out there.
I want to do something that shows revealing identity and belonging to part of a subculture, but then also showing the side of how society and subcultures all link together.
I think revealing identity, could be teamed with revealing the body, and I think that this idea could do something very interesting and will be really good if it turns out well.
