The Horrors of Pattern Cutting!!!

One of my modules includes pattern cutting and constructing garments. So far this semester, I have made patterns for and constructed a hood (shown above), an evening bodice (shown above), a puff sleeve, a rever collar and a raglan sleeve. Some of the pattern development is shown above. I find this work very challenging and impossible to complete a whole pattern and garment in only 3 hours!!! It is the most stressful and time consuming module...but once the garment is complete, it is very rewarding knowing that you have designed and created it.

Autumn/Winter 10/11- Whats in store for Martin Margiela???

I am currently doing a project based on the designer, Martin Margiela. I have thoroughly research his previous collections, background, stores and style. I have researched trends for Autumn Winter 2010/2011 in order to create my own moodboard, picking out key things that Margiela would. I have created a customer board, moodboard and fabric board. This means that I am now up to the part I like best: the designing!! I will update you on this project soon, showing you the designs created from this inspiration. The work above shows Margiela's previous collection, the moodboard and customer board.
