Alien!

Fancied doing something strange over the weekend, don't really know where the ideas came from but here it is.

Ooh Quilted bodice!

Thought quilting seems quite spacey so I did a quilted bodice with pointed shoulders and a long neck, I like it..

Toile making

For my new project based on the theme of space I've been coming up with a few ideas and churning out a few mock ups along the way..

AlienWear

Been playing some alien inspired games lately and I've been waiting for the time to do some silly designs of aliens playing dress-up. Just thought it would be funny.

Fashion Artwork

A few more pieces of fashion illustration in the form of artwork, more like conceptual fashion illustration. I wanted both pieces to be very surreal and interesting.

Fashion Illustration Experiments

While I will always remain faithful to my markers, I decided to experiment with other techniques to do fashion illustrations with such as collage and embroidery.

Distorted portraits

In these portraits I distorted them by lengthening the neck and hands and by making the eyes and mouth bigger, they ended up looking like the models for my fashion illustrations.

Early stone-age theme illustrations

Some early design illustations i done for my project based on the Stone Age.

SCI-FI Final Piece

Finally finding the time to put up pictures of my HR Giger inspired Science-Fiction final Piece. Idea here was robotic shapes and colours with fins and quilted sections and some metal embelisment, here it is.

Tria Markers

I have become obsessed with Tria Markers by Letraset. They come especially grouped for disciplines from fashion design to architecture and have a variety of skin tones, brights and blender colours.

Here are some designs that I used the markers on..whoever invented them is a genius.

Ancient Civilization Inspired Dress

This dress was made for an "Ancient Civilization" based project where I mainly focused on the Aztecs, Mayans and Ancient Nepal, The top is machine embroidered scales stitched together to form a "breastplate", and henna inspired tear drops below to add a touch of softness.

Here is my mood board to show my main inspiration -

 

  

 

Blue Sea Inspired Dress

Here is a sample dress I produced for a "Weather" brief. For this one i was inspired by the waves and surf on the sea so the main colours are blue and white with white twisted fabric detail and blue machine embroidered swirls.

Weather Inspired Dress

My weather inspired dress, took elements from the wind by using light chiffon and from the sea by adding puffs and ruffles.
