Textiles Colour Project

I chose the colour red starting my research with what red means to some cultures. China interested me the most and I wished to develop some designs based on Chinese New Year. I wanted to do a sculptural based garment therefore I looked at Alexander McQueen and Hussien Chalayan as infulences. I really liked the idea of creating a range of different sized fans out of fabric, pleating and spraying them with starch to hold the fan structure in place.

                                   



Sculptural

An A2 project which I really enjoyed! Influenced from designers such as Alexander Mcqueen.

I concentrated on knitting and smocking to construct my final piece.

I began by looking at movement of the body and how fabric creates different shapes and textures when worn.
