Final Garment..

Here are some photos of my final garment through the stages of producing it on the stand, so you can see how i started and how it is finished...

ONE week to go...

So hand in date is less than 4 days. On Thursday I went into uni to finish my garment using the stand. I feel really happy with it and hopefully it shows good inspiration from my theme and artist. I tried to communicated the sophistication of Hussein Chalayan's work and the clear elements of my tied and twisted theme. Here are some photos of the development of ideas whilst working on the stand. I will put up photos of my finished garment later.

Computer Enhanced Illustrations!! YEahhh Man.

So I have been doing lots and more and lots and more drawings over the past few weeks as part of my part two of creative approaches to fashion project, which i may add is finishing next wed!! ARGHHA. As part of the drawing section we had to do some stuff on the computer...so here have a look..are they that bad?!!???!

I ACTUALLY hated it.

Sat back down and realised how much better I could have done.
