Technical drawing.

I found I definitely need to learn technical drawing because I sew many other student have already used it for their mood boards and that looks gorgeous!
Luckily I have a lot of spare time except I go to intern, so I start practising it from now!

After finished this module...

So, it reached an end for this blog because the module finished. However, I would like to remain this blog as my personal creative diary. I am happy to show what I am thinking and doing. Somebody may be interested in me some day, so :-) Or it may be continued using for another module, that is most likely. Anyway, I am always saying, Enjoying is the most important thing in my life. I enjoyed this blog, that's why, I will keep doing!

The Final Piece: RTW

This is my last work for this module.
I enjoyed this module so much, probably as you see from this blog.

In this piece, all sides are completely different shapes.
Because natural world never keep one shape.
Plants grow, clouds blown and water turns gas and solid.
My piece as well.
When a model walks with it, the purple dress edge's shape changes constantly because of the boning.

The Final Piece: Making

When I was development this garment, there were always Miyake and Kawakubo's styles in my mind.
So this work could be influenced by them.
I am happy to sewing.
If I start sewing, I cannot stop until it finishes.

The final piece: Development

Development is the most fun part.
I do many because I love it.
But a problem is that I have to organize all after I did.
Photos were over 200 for this development.

This glue work has a weak point that it becomes loose and soft after many developments.
So, first 10 designs are easy to find astonish shapes because it is still hard but it gradually gets harder.
So, middle of the development, I have to find another shapes from other points like gather, twist, distort, angles...
From the bird (One of my development), I tried putting on pleats. It was seemed to be matching with the purple Lycra.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy to watch this video because that is the most important for me.
That is my happiness.




 

The final piece: Prepare

Tuesday is always fun! The time makes me free from stress.
Anyway, I started preparing my final piece.
I use two techniques that we have learned, glued fabric and pleats.
Because former was my favourite (the shape is very organic and I do not have to sew much), and latter was my encourage.
All notations are in the video.

The final piece: In my mind...

I always do not have any idea for my design.
But I always have a plan what the outcome is going to be.
This is slightly strange explain, but in fact my brain works those two things separated.
So I prepared 3 different fabrics following my plan.
2m purple and 1m silver Lycra, and 1m hard silver organza.
The concept is a super modern architecture. Now a days, Futurism goes more organic shape.
(A few decades ago, future style was more squarish, wasn't it?)
And I admire natural shapes very much. It is not my way that force everything to fit for human.
I totally agree with Miyake, Yoji, and Kawakubo.
So, in my mind, there is no idea for making 'garment'.
Where are sleeves? Where is a neck? That should be very last part.

Anyway, My plan is this.
I am going to present an organic shape with Futuristic style.
The silhouette indicates natural atmosphere such like wind, forest, water and bio, while colours suggest futuristic clean image.
