HOW CAN A TRENDY STYLISED GARMENT CAN BE WORN IN MULTIPLE WAYS ;KEEPING THE STYLIZATION IN MIND??

After the feedback from my tutor I understood how I need to explain my concept and the essence of my work ad how I am achieving that.So here it goes:-


AIM OF PROJECT: My aim is to create new innovative designs which can be worn in multiple ways to enhance the wearability and stylization of the garment. Hence this system might encourage the consumers to keep hold of their unique garments for longer due to their multi purpose and transformability of design.It would at some point also might address the issues of sustainability.

MATERIALS& PROCESSES USED : I have used already existing apparel for my design development and tried to explore those through draping and other means on the dress form to create trendy contemporary silhouettes. I have also explored surface pattern techniques through the traditional use of tie & dye technique inspired from the Roman sculptures.

DISCOVERY/PRODUCE:I discovered new way of design exploration and pattern making,draping through the means of exploring already existing apparel bought from the market.I also found how historical sculptures could be served asa inspiration for more contemporary designs and fabric exploration.

Key words: Multiple usage,Creative,Sustainability,Stylisation

Just quick Draping excersize with my tie & dye fabric

I had tie & dyed a plain white colored knit fabric in places and then draped around the dress form to see the desired look in accordance with my concept and just to have the idea of the look I have in mind in terms of fabric and color.









Exploration 6 Contd

I bought this interesting piece of knitted top when i say interesting that was because its pattern was little different from the usual knitted tops so initially when I was draping it on the dress form I couldn't figure out how it would be worn but then I did and after which it led to a series of designs some I knew were just for explorations and wouldn't fit into the the market segment I want to cater to. But the whole explorations had new avenues of design approach.

Exploration 5

I had tried to transform a pair of harem pants onto different styles from loose knit top to a short cowled skirt and many more.It give mea different way to the exploration as just by opening the inseam of a lower and then draping around the upper and lower body it could give rise to new garment styles and design options.
