Concept Designs

    In todays workshop, we had to create 5 designs which had to relate our previous quick sketch designs which we did in a previous workshop. I really enjoy creating designs and this task involved both design and illustration, not to mention annotations and a colour pallet also. This workshop was inspired by Donna Karan's "Seven Easy Pieces" which was a collection consisting of under and over garments, making a highly various wardrobe for women with a minimal amount of clothing. These designs were really useful to do because it is crucial for any fashion collection to have a starting point with their designs, plus doing them in more detail makes them seem more professional and presentable to either future buyers or sellers. The pace of this course has been very overwhelming, but considering its fashion, the future trends and styles constantly change throughout the year and this process has really helped to make me understand how it is in the real world when it comes to fashion and designing. Below are some examples of the designs I created.


With these designs, I focused a lot on the words of 'structure' and 'textures' because I think it relates well to the theme and it makes the garment pieces look a lot more interesting on the model. Nonetheless, this was a really interesting and creative process and it will help me further to develop my ideas and make them have my unique personality within the designs. Throughout this course I have really focused a lot more on 'Structure' because I like my outfits to be big and adventurous, however I want to use various materials or accessories to use as the word 'Attachment' by connecting them in some way whether that be to do with the body or something completely different.
