So this week is Fashion & Textiles, which I have been obviously looking forward to as this is what I want to do in the future so bring it on.
The theme of this week is "paper manipulation", which is cool because it means thinking outside of the box, outside of the conventions of normal fashion and makes you push your boundaries. That and no one can get hurt on a sewing machine. We spent this morning playing around with paper and creating 5 structures from paper. I tried to expel the idea of fashion and garments out of my mind and focus on coming up with interesting architectural structures, see below.
We had to upscale one of our structures to about half body size, I chose the curly one, partly because I liked it and partly because it was probably the easiest to make at such a big size!
This afternoon we had to go around in groups putting our structures onto mannequins, sometimes it was working with our own, and sometimes with other peoples. I was grouped with a couple of girls i'm not really friendly with, but it was ok because they pretty much just let me direct, pinning things on where I thought they looked good. Here's a few photos of what we came up with:
This last one is my curly creation. I think it looks pretty cool! I can imagine it knitted as a giant scarf or something.
P.S Not sure if you can see the cool circular ravensbourne windows? I will take a picture of the building tomorrow for those who don't know what it looks like. and of the view from my classrooms. Its a pretty nice place to study.
