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!

A project I am currently involved in is based around McQueens last collection, with an underwater theme. Working in a team of four, we are making four nonwoven garments (two jackets and two skirts, inspired by the images image, with a large emphasis on embellishment.

Above are some research pages, development, ideas and toiles.

White Christmas...

I'm just loving the snow we are getting at the minute...so many people are moaning about it but its not very often that it snows like this!

Living in the countryside, I decided to go out and take some photographs of the snow (above). I particularly like the bottom one, with the sunset, creating a beautiful scene.

Final illustrations complete...

Above are my final illustration boards, illustrating 10 different outfits. I will also produce two boards of flat drawings, showing the technical details of each garment.
