progress...

i havebeen researching ALL DAY and finally thought of a concept idea to link with my theme; ruffles, fold, pleats and stitch... SHIRTS.

vivienne westwood was the main inspiration... god i love her. i'm so pleased to finally incorporate her influence into my final pieces. here are the main links in her collections;
ruffle detailing.
high neck lines.
her detailing is very particular. normally distorted triangles. i have practised this with origami.

ruffles and pleating detailing. like rosettes.

crazy pockets. placed in odd places. this shirt looks like it's been recycled due to the different tones of denim... perhaps it has!
the collars are arranged in different places. and i like that about vivienne westwood. she's so different and unique.
 
i'm a bit annoyed i'm still not making corsages. i love making corsages. waa waa.


i have to make four final pieces. i aim to make a number of 'collar' pieces. not an actual collar, but a mock up. also a ruffled collar of some sort, a pocket and possibly an accessory. like the rossettes.
