WEEK5 1/5/2023: PUBLIC HOLIDAY-LABOUR DAY/ FABRIC MANIPULATION & SAMPLING/ RESEARCH & DESIGN CONSTRUCTION

 


During week 5 we had our replacement class on 4/5/2023 to continue with our draping. We were advised to mix and match all of our samplings and compose it together to create a design on the mannequin.
I first tried to randomly place my 2nd and 3rd samplings. I didn't really like the outcome as it seemed too plain and didn't give me any inspiration.





I quite enjoyed the top few composition as it is wearable art using unconventional materials. It was also easy to maneuver and shape around the mannequin. 


This is one of my favorite composition. It included 3 of my samplings that I intentionally placed at different places. It shows a really unique structure.




From composing the samples onto the mannequin, I had a rough idea of what message that I wanted to convey and the designs of my garment.

 INTERCULTURAL DESIGN ACADEMIC BLOG Project 1: PROPOSAL On our first class leture for intercultural design, we held an online meeting. We were roughly briefed on our programme structure and  the Module Information Booklet (MIB). We were given the task to create a proposal revolving on the theme of "Cultural Sensitivity in Design". This is a very general theme which could be covered in different aspects. However, as we were divided into teams of 6 members that were given the opportuinity to carry out this study in Japan. Hence, our design topic had to be cultural sensitivity specified in Japan. Without wasting any time, we had a meeting outside our class and brainstormed ideas. These are the 3 main ideas that we had come up with:  1. Tattoo Culture in Japan 2. Torii Gates 3. Yami Kawaii Aesthetic.  Tattoo Japan is well known for its symbolism and the legends that surround its unique forms, which include dragons, chrysanthemums, and cherry blossoms.

Assessment 02 : FABRIC MANIPULATIONS AND SAMPLINGS

For this assignment we were given the theme fashion collabs and create a collection in Ready To Wear apparels. With that, I designed several design developments in mind that I wanted to make it as sustainable as possible. And without further hesitation the first thing that came to mind was denim. I wanted to go for a more street aesthetic and incorporate that in my design.  Denim has become a cornerstone of streetwear, prized for its versatility, durability, and timeless style. As the fashion industry shifts towards sustainability, many brands are innovating with eco-friendly denim, utilizing organic cotton, recycled materials, and water-saving production techniques. This move aligns streetwear's edgy, urban aesthetic with growing consumer demand for environmentally conscious apparel, making denim both a fashion staple and a symbol of sustainable fashion practices. WEEK 5  I had began with my first sample. Incorporating recycled denim with nylon mesh and net.  Colours : hues of gre

 Final Project and Portfolio  As we have discussed in previous classes, we have finalised all 3 final garments and prepared the technical drawings for each garment to prepare for pattern drafting.  LOOK 1 LOOK 2 LOOK 3 Week 10 After finalising the toile from assignment 2, there were a few adjustments that was needed to be made on Look 1’s pattern. I had to increase the arm hole and lengthen the top. (Only for the pattern… there are further adjustments in the sewing process). I had also decrease the back neck line by 1cm.  Front pattern piece Back pattern piece. I then traced the pattern pieces from the master block and cut out the pattern pieces. After fixing the pattern pieces, I began deconstructing the jeans to lay it flat and cut the patterns accordingly.  I had then cut all the pattern pieces in the final fabric with a 1.5cm seam allowance along the grain line of the fabric.  For certain pieces of denim, there were holes(stressed denim). So, I had to patch it up with excess fabric
