I enjoyed the trend report more than the shop report as i found it quite hard and time consuming to take pictures and capture the garment in my mind, where as the trend report was more Internet research which was alot easier. I found it interesting to see what trends our in fashions this spring/ summer. I focused on candy floss and inner wear as outer wear.
I was quite disappointed with my shop report as every page was repetitive due to drawing a garment and writing around it. I now know to draw on the stand and on a figure to add a bit of variation in my sketch book.
TEMPLE NEWSAM
I found Temple Newsam inspiring as we actually got to visit it. It was really interesting to look around the building and look at all the different surface patterns such as curtains and wallpaper. It was also interesting to see how each room differed from one another. I pictured the shapes in my mind to take in for inspiration to design garment shapes such as ornaments, close up details on furniture and chandeliers.
My favourite part of temple Newsam was the Chinese bedroom as i loved the over sized four poster bed and the floral bedding. Also the wallpaper was spectacular due to the small attention the detail.
I found the drawing part quite hard as observational drawing is my downfall. I figured out just to do a quick outline of the basic shape and place this on a figure to create a garment shape for my development.
I mainly focused on curtains and how they drape as i could put this into fabric to see how it works. I worked on the stand for this with fabrics such as chiffon's, net and silk. It was interesting to see how each fabric draped and if it worked well or not. From this i found that chiffon was the best fabric to use.
I then sampled out the fabric to see if it pleated and gathered. From this i then looked into Sculpture as they wore draped robes.
IMAGES FROM TEMPLE NEWSAM
Images which inspired me at the house
I enjoyed the development which involved playing around with my fabric and draping the fabric. The images show me working on the stand and inspiration.
FINAL LINE UP
I was pleased with how my final line up turned out as i focused on a middle high street shop Top shop, so i could design garments which i would actually wear which makes it easier for me. I stuck with silks and chiffon's which were green and pink to stick with my theme Candyfloss. I also added in suspender belts and stocking to add inner wear as outer wear into the trend. I have scanned one of my fabrics in.
Overall i have enjoyed this project and will take the skills i have learnt into consideration for the future.
