Final Garment.
My final design is constructed around the concept of multi-use. The garment can be worn by both sexes in a number of different ways.
On the garment are various darts which can be opened and closed depending on the gender of the wearer. These darts provide bust when the garment is worn by women, and when opened give extra material and fit for males. To construct the pattern of the garment I combined both the male and female pattern blocks – ensuring the shoulders and the neck would be wide enough for all wearers.
To change the appearance of the garment the sleeves can be totally removed at both the shoulder and the elbow, different ones can be added. The male version of the sleeve has a cuff, whereas the female sleeve has flare.
Communications Portfolio.
For my Communications Portfolio I used Illustrator. I haven’t previously had a lot of experience but feel I learnt a lot through trial and error. I am very pleased with the outcome of my various pieces – I got the over all look that I set out to achieve (that of simple self assembly instructions manual).
Packaging; vacuum packed.
Fashion illustration in the style of an instructions manual.
Promotional Postcard; double sided, pieces are removed and stuck onto body.
Swing ticket; information card removed once purchased.
I am very happy with my outcome from this module – I feel my work was the most complete yet. I didn’t get too fixated on an idea too soon so was able to thoroughly explore my options and experiment with design.
The final garment is the best in terms of construction that I have done in the year. Whilst it is not something I, or most probably anyone else, would actually wear, it makes sense in relation to my original concept and brief title (Deconstruct/Reconstruct).
