Fashion!!!!!

Okay I haven't updated ye on my print elective yet but I wanted to start my fashion one! I started fashion on monday and decided to base my project on umbrellas! They are an everyday product with extraordinary drawing capabilities! using one umbrella I got loads of analytical drawings as the shape of the umbrella changed every time you opened it another inch or changed the direction you looked at it! Following some research I also found some crazy umbrellas of different shapes and sizes! I'll put some of them up on this for ye to see! On Tuesday we had some mannequin time with Pamela and a colour workshop with Liz! The mannquin time was brilliant I got to see how a flat pattern piece could totally transform when moulded and placed on the mannequin in different ways! The colour workshop was loads of fun too! Colour stories are really fun to make while also being beneficial to the design process! Today we are doing a drawing workshop with Phillipa, we are learning how to draw the important curves and creases in fabric through line drawing and different materials to make our sketchbook drawings more realistic and interesting. After lunch we are photocopying and collaging shapes and colours onto the drawings we did earlier! It should be fun! Loving fashion, Nicole
P.S I'm only putting up a few of the mannequin pictures, there's far too many it'd fill up the internet!:-P!
