Part of the initial concept I drew up for my A Level Textiles Technology piece was;
Young designers are encouraged to look for new and interesting design ideas to influence and direct their work. The focus of this project is to take inspiration from a photograph, in order to allow me to explore my personal interest in fashion and design, as well as art, creating a one-off garment to be exhibited.
To begin my research, I visited an exhibition, ‘Make Do & Mend’, Stroud International Textiles Festival, and Art in Action, enabling me to see and experience exhibitions first hand, and the surroundings in which my brief intends my final piece to be displayed. By initially recording photographs and sketches in a sketchbook, I was able to consider some initial thoughts as to the way in which I could answer the brief. From this, I gathered my research onto a moodboard to use as a reference during the design process; a visual aid to illustrate the intended direction of design.
To further analyse my photographs, and look at the shapes, I transferred some of them onto fabric using transfer paste, as well as making some quick sketches. Through initial consideration as to fabrics and materials I could possibly use for the final garment, I gathered some scrap materials and also acquired some samples of silk rose petals which I believed I could have used.
