Midway through my honors year at UTS Fashion, we’re at the stage where we have developed a pre-collection. This may or may not carry through to the final graduate collection, but will inform the direction of it. It seems there’s no better time to share some of the work I’ve developed and the progress thus far, without revealing too much of the final show. Here are some examples of my months of sweat and blood (literally) for your viewing pleasures.
Firstly let me introduce you to one of the very backless toiles. The aesthetic of the collection so far focussed immensely on shape, my personal favourite fashion design element.
Here is a sketch of another look which I didn’t delve into, but some elements will carry through within the final collection.
The hero look, which is here to stay. My favourite look and the most popular by far, I call it the hyperbole hood.
…and the back (less) of it.
The following is what I call the organic top, as you can see the elements from above have been salvaged.
Below is my pride and joy (ironically I’ve been asked to remove this from my collection in order to keep my designs cohesive). This is a layered laser cut leather design. The top section depicts the negative space of the bottom.
The top from earlier, realised as a final toile.
Oh hello, this is me pretending to be a fashion blogger in the hyperbole hood. (I’ve illustrated it much nicer in the featured image at the top).
