Alexander McQueen

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.

Thank you

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.

Some Garment research...

I am required to research different garments every week for my module 'Garment Technology'. Within this research, I produce a visual research board and analyse each image. Garments that I have researched this semester include hoods, fitted dresses/bra top dresses, interesting sleeves, rever collars, raglan sleeves, circle, gathered and pleated skirts, casual outerwear and sportswear. Below are a few examples.

DESN 2250 Project Continued...

In this project, we were required to create three different repeat patterns with three different colourways for each one. As well as this, we had to design three garments. Above are my three garments that I have chosen along with the three chosen patterns. Flats are also shown for each garment. To produce these, we had to learn how to use the software called 'Lectra' including Kaledo Print and Kaledo Style.

Final illustrations- Martin Margiela.

These are my first ideas for my final illustrations. They are designs for Martin Margiela. I haven't drawn the feet yet though!! I have tried to make the poses very natural and basic and style them in a unique way. I will develop this even further. Feel free to comment, giving your opinions!
