Reconstruction techniques

I thought it best not to pick a theme for this particular project as i thought it might restrict me slightly and sway my designs in a certain direction. i tried to be as experementative as possible with the clothes that i brought in and also the way i changed them on the stand. From looking back i believe that i maybe could of taken this slightly further in regards to using really clashing colours and more adventurous fabric matches. when i looked at the work i produced today, my overall vibe is that it is quite safe looking at the moment which could let me down as the rest of my project is based around this mannequin work.
This style of initial designing definitely isn't my favourite and is something that i believe i have to work on and develop throughout this project.

Collaging on the other hand, is one of my favourite styles because it creates really interesting shapes and seam lines that you might not initially think of, so i was really pleased when we were to include this process into the project. i was actually really happy with how the collages turned out and also thought the illustrated designs i did from them were some of the best designs i have ever done. this is because it taught me to start layering up my outfits rather than just having a singular garment on top of my illustration.

The other reason why i liked my collages so much was the uses of colour on each set of three. so far this year i don't feel like i have used an adventurous colour pallet which would enhance my designs. so if i incorporate the colours i have played around with it will develop my skills further.

I think by combining these collage designs alongside my mannequin work i could come out really a really interesting garment.
