Pushing my developments through last week and what I work on this week have drastically changed in a good way. I wanted to work on my colour palette, finding that black on white to much of a harsh contrast and just didn't work with a pattern base, So I have made it black on black and work with texture of materials in difference to show pattern using matte and silk against each other to show shape.
I wanted to develop my pieces more than what they and thought about what they would be used for if I was to apply them to something in interior or fashion. So I related back to what brought me the idea in the first place which was the Flapper dress. I looked into where the flapper style was from and how it could help me evolve my idea. The detailing on dresses in the 1920s was to bring interest to the area. Adding pattern and beading detail, Back then a lot of lace and beading was used to create detail This was something I really want to integrate into what I am doing. Maybe creating some of my own lace and beading pieces to go with my collection.
Thinking back to somethings that VV. Rouleaux had said about trims, that they could be anything, and extension of a dress in fashion to a detailing on a curtain. Its how it is designed really. I want mine to be mould around fashion.
I want to see if layering works with some of my trim ideas as well, working my lace patterns and normal trims together and see what I get, changing up my ideas, whether it works or not, just a case of trial and error.
This week I am aiming to work on the areas such as the edging to my trims, composition, fabric choice, layering and beading my pieces, using the 1920s fashion as inspiration to my trims.
