Having gained a better understanding of our direction, the
group brought our ideas together. Then as a collective we examined our work,
disregarding ones we thought didn’t fit in, for example steering away from the
idea of having flashes of colour and staying with the grey scale colour palate.
As a group we discussed how best we could utilise everyone’s skills, their
areas of expertise, working collectively as a team rather than separately as
individuals.
During our tutorial we discussed our ideas with Susan,
pulling together the design aspects we hadn’t been so brave to touch upon
earlier, to work together to create a final outcome sample collection, bringing in the
stronger areas of our individual practices, I making plain, bland samples for
team members to work with. This will be a more creative and collaborative
approach than other briefs.
By directing our ideas in the same direction our outcomes
have a similar feel to them, creating a large collection of samples that work
well together.
Over the next few days I anticipate directing my visual
research towards the weight of the fabrics of an outfit, examining how they
flow on a body, the movement of actions they take, fastenings, openings, and the
wrappings of the garment.
As a team it is essential that alongside sampling and how we
are going to get there, we also need to think about a muse, deciding what type
of person we are directing our designs towards. Our initial thoughts are to use
a female version as opposed to the male, for whom James Long normally aims his
collection towards.
