FASHIONING TEXTILES

This week we're making fabric samples from our chosen source of inspiration. Somehow I ended up choosing posts. I think it's interesting that you can walk down a single road and although all the posts began identical, they've all been marked with imperfections that show their (however mundane) life. There's dried glue marks, little rusty perforations, dead bugs.. I thought I could make some really cool prints and textures inspired by them. And ever the minimalist, I was in love with the different hues of grey combined with the tiny hints of rusty orange and pale blue.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

Finally updating! I've been terrible.

These pictures are from my first fashion project since I've specialised on foundation. We had to create paper garments that challenged the conventional silhouette. Hear are some of my experiments inspired by the idea of defence within nature. I specifically looked at sea corals and the Australian frilled neck lizard, which have to be one of the coolest animals of all time!
