developments _ finalising tops

i decided to keep the shape and the design of the first shirt as it feels and looks like it is appropriate for my target audience . i asked someone if it looked like it is street wear and he said yes so i'm taking that as awesome .

there are many other things to consider right now including prints and all sorts but i think i want to just focus on the shape and silhouette first .

developments _ tops, bottoms and outer

after doing concepts of each layer, it was time to break it down further and start onto the more defined areas such as tops, bottoms and outer, for example, coats and cardigans etc .

it was quite fun and exciting to actually get down to designing but i did find some difficulty as there are so many garments to think about.

concepts _ designing

it is time to post everything i suppose . . .

anyway below is the mid layer and the outer layer concepts that i have done. just some quick sketches to get ideas flowing and some of them look like they could be finals and some of them need a lot of work .

developments _ spec drawing

hi spec drawing, you are looking a little bit short and stubby. but that's normal size isn't it ? a bit plain too... might add some dashed lines to the hem but otherwise, i believe this is it ?

NEED HELP !!!!!

thank you for your time .

developments _ organising outfits

this entire thing is starting to do my head in... so i've decided on pretty much all the individual garments of this collection, but was now time to put them together to form outfits. HOLEY MOLEY it's difficult ! i thought it would be quite straight forward, this with that and that with this but in all honesty... way harder than it sounds. maybe it was just me but who knows ?

anyway, below is a brief look at what is happening in my brain right about now. i have decided to contain eight outfits in my collection instead of ten. i may add two outfits if i can figure out the first eight to begin with. better to have a strong eight than a weak ten, if you know what i mean :]

concepts _ on hold

on hold doesn't mean, i'm not doing the designing and all the concepts... on hold just means that i will keep all the work i have done on my computer and won't post any of it until nearer to the date. i am doing this as i do not want to expose my current designs just yet and i guess you could say... have it be more of a surprise .

i will however be keeping you up to date with class exercises, fabric prototypes, concept boards etc, it's just the actual designing of garments which i will keep hush hush. i'm just typing all this out in case you might be wondering where i have gone, or if i have given up on the project .

don't worry :) i haven't . just hard at work ____

all will be revealed in a couple weeks time.

experimentation _ spec drawings

apparently we need to be good at drawing spec drawings so we spent the whole of class time drawing these. more importantly, they need to be drawn with a template so we were given one in class and the first image is it. average really, but the proportions are more-so correct so that is the one i shall use. but MORE importantly, they have to be accurate. fun times . . .
