I was looking through the Style.com and come across with ISSEY MIYAKE collection fall 2011. This collection is very similar what we did on the class yester day and similar to my work as well….
Really like this collection it is very simple and all the work are inspired by triangle shape..
Today I have finished my final piece for tomorrow catwalk. I made few changes and edit to it. I decided to use the pop colour on my garment. I used the green (ish) colour stripe line on the top of my 3D shape sleeve on the hip. I am very pleased with the outcome. I used the draping and Deconstruction technique on my garment. Let’s have a look the picture of my final garment.

YAY!!!! Finally the final piece of wearable structure is coming altogether now. I had made some few changes before hand and now it is almost done. I have decided to put only one 3D shape sleeve on the hip. Chose the Jersey See through material. It is dark brown colour and golden texture on it. Let’s have a look the pictures of the process how it come to the final piece……..
off course I need to do some finishing touch………
This week we started doing the wearable structure for the final piece. I bought another brown tailored jacket to add-on. And also look through all the technique we had done in the past few months. I recreated some to shape I like and to use it on my final piece.
One of the design element I took it from the Deconstruction lecture! See the picture below.
Above design elements are inspired from 3D sculpture shape and draping lectures. The 3D shape design on the hip which I took it from Sculpture shape using Glue and Mutton cloth. Draping is take it exactly the same which I experimented from draping lecture. Because I really like the way of the drap hang on the stand.

This week we did the Draping technique in the class. First of all we have to creat the under garment for the drap to hung on. So we created the calico bodices directly on the stand and the basic bodice comprises of a front piece and a back piece.
Basic bodice
After I finished the basic bodice foundation I started draping. Before I started I have to mark the Grain line on the calico which I can get the beautifully drap and curve shape. And it is also easier to make the pattern when you using the real fabric which I found out later.
I really love with this draping design it simple, chic and sophisticated. I was trying to change different style and my tutor came around and said she love the drap and don’t really need to change.

After the pleating class I was looking through the on the internet about pleating. There are so many clothes are very interesting in shape and they way they pleat and using the technique on different fabrics! Almost all designer are using these technique. These are some picture I selected from the designers.

GALLIANO Pre A/W 11
After looking through on the internet I try it myself pleating with using calico. I decided to use the large-scale pleating which is easier for me to experiment with instead to small pleat. It was very interesting the way they changing the shape and design of pleated fabric rely on how and where you hung on the stand. I was using one pleated fabric and put on the different places on the stand you will see the different on the pictures.
And there is some few simple design …..
Today we were using the chair to make the shape with last week deconstructed tailored jacket.
Unfortunately I have accidentely deleted some of my picture which I put my tailored jacket on the chair to get shape.
Basically I have took off on of the sleeve from the jacket to fit on the chair. These are the pictures after I did the shape on the chair and transfered it to the stand.

This week lesson was deconstructing the tailored jacket and make the different shape and form.
First of all we separated the linen from the jacket. And experiment with the linen to transform the silhouette.
(1st design)
I am really pleased with the 1st design, it come out beautiful neckline and interesting drape silhouette.
(2nd Design)
The 2nd design was ok a little bit of edgy and cut out style silhouette, I am not very keen on this design.
( 3rd Design)
This is my favorite out of these three design. When I took the pictures I was really surprise these beautiful shadow and line. It’s almost like flower or even fire flame.
After experimented with linen and I try to make the different silhouette with the Jacket.
( 4th Design)
Love this design very chic and simple but looks sophisticated.
(5th Design)
And then I tried with using Linen and Jacket together.
(6th Design)
Overall I’ve got the great feedback from my colleagues and lecturers with my design I’m very pleased!
