I have finally come around to producing and finalising my photo shoot pictures due to not wanting to show a release of the garment by itself because I don't own a mannequin. On the contrary, I am amazed with the success I have had with this garment and project so far; the garment itself was relatively sustainable to achieve but I think I really thrived with this piece. Plus, I like to have a little challenge through each project. If I could have done anything differently, perhaps the easiest thing would be to create and design another garment, despite this I am very happy with my final result and I couldn't imagine it to be any greater considering the time limit I had to create this for my project. Moreover, the shoot itself also went really well because it related with my themes of animal cruelty and textures, also it made my model look more wild and animalistic rather than in front of a dull background with no emotion. In addition, I wanted to keep my models' face very minimalistic makeup wise, but I wanted her hair to be crazy and backcombed to look as if it had never been touched by a brush to really add that wild side to the photographs and it worked really well alongside the garment piece.
I think this garment piece could be considered unisex as it has a very wide shape, plus I think that the style of this garment is very unique and truly stresses the sense of entrapment and lack of movement for the body, similar to animals in cages. The fabric I chose also relates well to the textures side of my theme because I used a thin sort of velvet and faux fur, yet again enhancing the theme of animals and such. Furthermore, I think it is obvious that my theme relates to animals in some way or form from the photographs background and also the garment from all the textures and shapes. Below are some of the photos I had taken.
To tell the truth, I am rather nervous about this upcoming assessment, but then again who isn't?! Nonetheless, I think I have worked very hard these past 8 weeks and also think that I have excelled my potential more than what I ever expected to achieve and for that I give myself a pat on the back. On top of this, my friends' have also created really great and unique pieces and being surrounded by such hard working individuals has really helped me to up my game because we all support each other and learn new things during each and every workshop and it is absolutely priceless. Overall, this has been a very exciting and new project for me and I can see how I have developed tremendously as an individual and I can't wait to start the next project!
