The End of Fashion & Textiles


Well, that's all over now. Quite enjoyed it.

The 'Crit' today was very chilled which was lovely. I now know not to panic about Crit days!

I had a think about what my strengths were in this rotation....
  • Use of my sketchbook// I used a variety of media and cut/fold techniques in my sketchbooks. My concept was influenced by the first drawings I did. The concept follows through the drawings in all 3 of my sketchbooks.
  • Use of research// Because I found a concept early on I could collect necessary and relative  research to inspire me. You can see the connection between my research and my models.
  • Use of 2d drawings into 3d models// One day when I was at home and didn't feel like making a model, I did a few illustrations. I used photocopies of these to make models later on.

What I've learnt from this rotation....
  • That my preconceptions of what constitutes Fashion Textiles were wrong - it's much more process based rather than going straight into designing products/garments. 
  • It's quite a bit like 3D as you're experimenting with materials to make small models.
  • That it's important to come up with a concept early on and stick to it for the best results.
  • That I can incorporate other interests into the area; ie. I made a few models from my illustrations of hair.
