To start off the fashion week we were given a task to
create a few small samples of different ‘forms’ (not thinking about anything
wearable in particular at the moment) which we would develop later to from part
of a garment. These samples were to be inspired by what we had done in the
previous week. I referenced some of the photographs I had taken for the
processes or forms I would use.
Next we had to create multiple enlargements of a single
sample using the same idea or process. I chose the sample that was inspired by
the structure I created in 3DD to support the water bottle. The process of
enlarging created new forms as paper on a larger scale became more flexible and
loose. This made my forms look more draped rather than rigid and structural. I
felt this change might suggest that the forms could be used to make some sort
of skirt or dress.
After everyone had finished creating their forms we
grouped up and got mannequins ready to start assembling an outfit. Our group
had already come up with some good ideas of how to use our forms to create a
garment. We were all ready to start but to our surprise we were all told to
drop our things and move to another mannequin- we were then given the task of
using other people’s forms to create a garment, not our own! This was quite a
cool activity as it made us think on our feet a bit and work with forms that we
may have not been able to come up with.
It ended up that I preferred the outfit made with our
original parts, when we finally got around to using them, but we were
definitely able to create some interesting garments using other people’s forms
too.
