Fashion. Discipline 2. Semester 2

when i first came into fashion, i had already researched product design and the natural world. This researched helped me greatly when it came down to deciding on an object of choice for the two week project. I decided on an orange. Although it is quite simple, i discovered a huge range of different shapes that already existed in it or could be created from it. During the first week i created designs on croquies using my two basic shapes. But by the end of the week, after pinning these shapes on the maiquins with paper, these shapes evolved into more interesting and more 3D forms. By experimenting with paper on the maniquin, i learned more about the body and its form and how exciting it can be when placing paper shapes off the body. This made it more fun to design certain details for clothing, such as cuffs, shoulder pads and even ankle pieces.
