"Fashion and Textiles- Day Two"

For the second day of the fashion and textiles rotation we were asked to bring in ten magazine cut outs of body figures. During the lesson, we had to create  three-dimensional garments or accessories on top of these cut outs. I got inspired by flowers and therefore I wanted to create something which depicts the flowing form of pedals. I mostly focused on the upper part of the body and created garments which have an interesting shape and loads of volume. Working with paper and tape was easy for me because they are two elements which I often use in my work however, I wished I had used different materials so that I could experiment more and create something more innovative. Later on, we had to draw about twenty designs in our sketchbook for a clothing piece or accessory we would later on create. I tried to design both clothing pieces as well as scarves and head accessories so that I could have a range of designs to choose from. The thing that I would do differently if I had to do this again, would be that I would spend less time on each drawing so that I would have time to do more. In my opinion, this was one of the most exciting days of the foundation course, since we did collages using various materials and came up with our own unique ideas for clothing items.
