2 finished briefs!!!!

i havent wrote anything for awhile but i have just finished two briefs!.


the first breif was creative approaches to fashion, i found this breif exiciting, new and sooo much fun!!!


i chose to do tied and twisted in the style of maison martin margiela for the brief and i found by doing my research that margiela uses different things e.g playing cards to create his garments i thought these ideas were brilliant and found out alot more about his margielas work.


i really enjoyed the whole process of creating designs and manipulating fabrics to create new pieces of work, while doing this brief i did two drawing sessions of creative approaches to fashion these sesssions really helped me in the drawing and creating research for the creative approaches to fashion.


the best part of this brief was getting creative with a pair of trousers, a shirt and a bag, and manipulating them into a garment that was able to be worn. i ended up making this top, we also had to photograph it as if it "fell from the sky" this was an interesting thing to have to do and i enjoyed having my model do different poses to see which one looked best in the end i chose this one >>>

i took the quote it fell from the sky and took this picture as if it fell from the sky into a tree!





the second brief i have completed was called creative design realisation and this brief was fantastic!

we had to select a dress that showed fullness and flare and then create a pattern for it and then make it out of cotton calico, i found it hard at first as i have never made my own pattern before or used industrial machines to create a garment before but once i got into it i loved it i still found it hard in parts but Hugo was fabulous and a great help to me. the best part was finishing my garment and seeing the final product. this brief has really helped me into understanding pattern cutting and the process of creating a garment like that with making your own pattern etc. this is the dress i made >>>





we have now started a new brief and started it with going on a trip round Leeds to find out where things where and how much things cost this was basically just to show us where to find things we will need like fabrics etc and to take pictures with street musicians but i think that was just for fun!.



on Tuesday we got given our brief and i am SO excited to get started with it researching into trends and going round shops to investigate further so i will keep more up dated during this brief then i did in the last one!
