Week 5 - Wearable Structure : Part 2

The sculpture formed from the previous week was then cut off the chairs to create a garment that would fit the human form.

The structure created was then placed in many different ways onto the tailors dummy  to create unique designs from what we had created....Here are a few of the selection from different angles.

Many different designs were achieved from the wearable structure that we created between us. However, we found that although  the netted fabric that we applied added colour it didn't really work well overall, as it was difficult to attach with the glue.

Week 4 - Wearble Structure: Part 1

To commence this project two chairs were merged together with cling film to create a unique structure.

STEP 2

Tights were then used to cover the structure whilst creating a design. Different fabrics were also added to enhance colour and texture.

Once we were happy with the design that we had developed we watered down pva glue and applied it to the structure, then left it to dry.

Week 3 - 2D - 3D Enlarged Scale

 

 The shapes from the previous week were scaled up on much larger scale to create pattern pieces that could fit a human form.The shapes were then created before being applied on to the tailors dummy to create abstract silhouettes. I played around with the structure, positioning it in different ways to see the many different outcomes that could be created.

.

I joined up with another student and we put our structures together to see what forms we could create. Theses are the images of what we created.

 To develop our designs further we then decided to scrunch up our structures and then place then back on to the tailors dummy to see the different forms that could be constructed....These are the results.

I think that by scrunching up the structures it altered the consistency of the garments we had originally developed. In comparison to this I prefer the garments that were made first hand as they had a more complex effect to them.
