Material Concepts

I think it would be really interesting to use a fabric that most people wouldn't first think of when looking at bones and then relating them to fashion. By using a silky fabric it contrasts with the hard and structured bone interior. Most people would assume that a stiff fabric would compliment this project as it can be molded easier and you are able to make some really interesting shapes using different pattern cutting techniques, but by mixing this thick fabric such as brocade or calico with a synthetic soft fabric it will make it very visually pleasing. I could then link this fabric back to my project by printing a pattern on top that is inspired by my research. 


In my sketchbook you can see that I have experimented by using simple/ basic garments to then place a print over the top. What I would like to improve on with this is to incorporate the stiffer fabric that I spoke about earlier to give the designs more depth and increase the visual appeal they have to the viewer.
