Deconstruction and reconstruction is the art of
taking pre made clothes apart and putting them back together in inventive and
abstract ways to create new garments from the old ones. When I first studied
the brief my initial idea jumped straight to Faustine Steinmetz who was a huge
success at London Fashion Week 2014 and featured clothes purely made from old
jeans and other denim items that had been unthreaded and then remade into
different garments using techniques such as heat pressing. i think denim is a perfect
material for a project like this because it is used for many different types of
clothing such as jeans, jackets, skirts and so on... Whereas you don't tend to
find fabrics used for eveningwear such as silk and embroidered fabrics that
diversely use, especially at a commercial level.
Another obvious choice to consider as part of my
research was Martin Margiela as a lot of his collections feature this
process.
