Draping on the stand

This week at university for fashion directions-pre collection, I have been draping on the stand (mannequin/ tailored dummy) as you might know it as. Draping on the stand has helped me with my design work (that I will be putting up soon on my next post), and will also help with my design development.

It has also helped me to understand how to turn my ideas into reality.



Must have in your wardrobe!!

Faux Fur                         

Invest in a fur coat it’s this season’s instant appeal.

Faux fur is the texture of the season.



Initial Concept

I choose surrealism as my concept for my final year collection, because I think surrealism is all about uniqueness and weird things.

My core idea was surrealism, but as surrealism is so broad I had to narrow it down. So I choose to do surrealism sculpture and the artist that I choose to look at was Jean Arp.

 I think initially it will develop because I want to focus on shape and volume, so I think that sculpture is a good focus point.

I will be draping on the stand to get the shape and volume that I am focusing on, for a more thrilling and more successful collection.
