Alexander McQueen Inspired Garments

In a team of four, we have been working on four garments, focusing on research, patterns, toiles and embellishment in order to reach our final designs. They are inspired by the McQueen garments (shown in a recent post) from the latest collection.

They are produced from nonwoven fabric, making the processes of construction and pattern making quite different.

After all the hard work, I am very happy with the final results!

Trends project for DESN 2250

The work shown below is research for my project using the programme 'Lectra'. I will mainly be using 'Kaledo print' and 'Kaledo Style'. The aim is to create a theme and colour palette, in order to then create different repeat patterns with different colourways. These will be shown on illustrations after developing silhouettes and garments shapes. Flat drawings of the garments will also be included. This research is development work, leading to a final collection of work.

A Geometry Assignment for Fashion Design??!!

For one of my modules, I was required to create 12 different geometric patterns, generated by creating tiles from a triangle and a square. I found this very challenging in a VERY different way to my other modules. It was hard work and time consuming. I used photoshop 7.0 to create this. The end use is a fashion garment, shown in the centre of the page. The theme is Islamic Art, which has inspired the colour palette and the patterns.
