Initial Designs

Subtraction cutting and light draping.

Revealing or fitted top half to reflect research in to sun bathing; tan lines, skin etc.

Subtraction cutting and draping around the neck - Turtle necks and Cowl neck lines reflect my research in to skin damage; wrinkles, sagging and loose skin.

Layers.

V-necks reflect research in to sun worship; swim suits (revealing, fitted) and tan lines.

Subtraction cutting. Draping. Folds. Layers. Fitted parts to garment and then loosely fitted to contrast - reflecting research.

These designs I think are the most successful and would be the best to develop further; looking in to more draping and subtraction cutting.


They have all been influenced by the subtraction cutting and draping in order to create movement in the garment, lines and angles and fluidity.
I have been drawn to fitted garments around the top half of the body and then loosely fitted towards to bottom of the body inspired by my research.
