Week 7 - Deconstruction: Part 2

Using my tailored jackets from the previous week I paired up with another student and we covered a chair with our jackets, moulding it on to make it skin tight. We left three holes in the structure.

We then removed it from the chair and draped it on to the tailors dummy to form many different and creative designs. Both the inside and the outside of the jacket was used. The three holes were for the head and the arms to go through when applied onto the body. These are a selection of some of the shapes and forms created.

The shapes formed manipulated themselves when on the dummy, forming folds in different places than if it had been draped straight on to the tailors dummy.

The same was done with the lining of the jackets. Once draped on to the tailors dummy it also had a different effect to if it was straight off of the stand.

I rather enjoyed this project and was fascinated by the many different designs and forms created.
