Final garment creation/ evaluation

From my final outcome I have chosen to look at a skirt and how I can create different proportions and sizes to create a new effect. I feel that seeing my garment being wore gives it new meaning and I can see how I can push my idea further. Unit X has been a long and challenging project however I feel I have gain a lot of important skills, that if I had not taken the Halls of Mirror project I might not have learnt. I still have to complete my garment and I intend to create oversized pockets to attach to the side of my skirt. I have also planned to create a structured top to complete the look. If I had the time to push my garment further I would like to see it printed and embroidered on to. It would also be interesting to combine it with Knit and different thicknesses to from leather to thick translucent fabric to see what effect I could create.

 The basic of the brief was to create something disjointed an contorted I feel with my finished garment I will have successfully completed and answered the brief.

For Hall of Mirrors project we were not required to collaboration for this project partly because pattern cutting and designing like this is a very personal approach. However I found it very useful to collaborate as a group by discussing idea, development and discoveries. For our exhibition space we will also be collaborating and discussing how our pieces should be viewed and explore different ways in which to do that.

From this I feel I can successfully draw my fashion illustrations. I have learnt a lot about fashion and pattern cutting on this course and now feel I will be able to approach it a lot more confidently in the future.
