Lineup Development

 

Here is an image of my lineup from a previous module. My feedback indicated that it was a bit too painterly which wasn’t allowing it to flow with the rest of my research and designs, Although I like to make my illustrations quiet abstract and show a definite and distinct style, I realise this was not connecting well with the rest of my work….. back to the drawing board!

 Above is another idea I produced as my lineup, I took the images I had taken from my toiles and used  photoshop to place the outfits on skeletons. This was an idea that came about when my theme was based more on the body and internal structure. I have since developed my theme and research away from this so the skeleton lineup doesn't reflect my developed theme and designs however I do like the idea.

 

This is the latest lineup illustration I have done. I have thought on the feedback I had received and worked in a new way to develop a lineup style that connects and responds well to my designs. I have used my original illustrations and instead of painting the colour in I have colour blocked them and used my technical flats also colour blocked to give another layer and dimension. I think it still reflects my abstract style but has become more linear and spatial which reflects the designs.

                       This is the first outfit of my final graduate collection entitled "iNTROSPECTION".

 

An Autumn/ Winter 2013/14 collection.

 

 

I have taken inspiration form the title word, introspection, it's definition being " The examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes.

 

 

Constructivism in another inspiration and theme for this collection, I have taken inspiration mostly from the sculptor Naum Gabo who's works are based around the precise analysis of the structure of form and its internal spatial implications.

 

 

I have used these themes within my designs to create linear, spatial tailoring with unique silhouettes creating space and renewed shapes around the human form.

 

 

 

These images are from a collection of boards I have created using the images from the photoshoot with inspirational images I have used within my research. The above background is my own image the others are of images taked of the Sydney Opera House which has been a more recent inspiration in my designs. The structure and linear architecture tie in well with my design process and it's also adding a touch of my background!
