Performative Geometrics



Idea and sample sheet.

Here i experimented with paper and fabric to create shapes in materials.

I was aiming to create a 3D effect by folding and heat pressing.

I used the heat press on the fabric sample to create the structure.

The samples have worked well, and i think i will experiment more with a firmer material like felt to create this shape again.

Deconstruct + Reconstruct Sheet



Research sheet

- creating samples and thinking of ways i can convert this into a piece.

We spotted this on our way back from jim morrisons grave on our last day in paris.

I think its quite cute for a picture of a cigarette.


Half a year has gone by and im finally getting my paris pictures up.

Collar ideas - Deconstruct Reconstruct.











Here are two collars i cerated by cutting off the bottom of a shirt and pleating to create a circular effect.

I am going to experiment with ways in which i could involve performative geometrics to make my collars more unique.

I think i will create a neck piece for my final piece.

Week 2 of 3rd year work

This week my assigned third year was back and well!

I've personally enjoyed having met and helped two third years as i have gained different opinions on what pathways they took.

This week i helped georgiana by sewing the loops that would keep her garments on the hangers to her pieces and did small finishes like adding fastenings and sewing up linings. I also researched into finishings for her pieces and helped her find a website to decorate the paper bags that would hold her pieces too.

She also offered for me to come along on her collections shoot, but as the location is harrogate i might not have time to rush back.

Fingers crossed that i can.

I also collected samples of fabrics she used on her collection.

Theres quite a few!!
