My final design with the group collaboration is a fitted, light grey, lycra bodice with thin straps and a boat neckline and low-cut back; all constructed via subtraction cutting.
My theme was distortion from light which came about in many ways, as mentioned in my concept pages and 'Light' posts.

The folds and draping that occur once the process is complete mimic the linear forms and angles which forms the basis of how light travels and manipulates - in straight lines, unless and object which reflects it, bends it towards a different way - directional.
My initial designs also incorporated subtraction cutting as the aesthetics of the skirt piece resemble creases, wrinkles, cracks and sagging; all apparent in my theme of distortion through sun worship and too much exposure of the skin through tanning.
Any folds and creases in fabrics and any materials catch the light to form highlights and shadows. This is also something I have looked in to; the forms and the colours - darkness and illumination.
The final design brings all my ideas together as well as the idea of body movement and research for the human body.

The torso image on the body was manipulated on Photoshop to distort it and make it slightly more shocking. It is placed on the bodice through Screen printing.
