free as a bird.


line drawings have never been my easiest task but surpirsingly ive enjoyed it lately. using photoshop i scanned in a line drawing i previously had drawn, after messing around for about an hour i created this bird dress. i was inspired by the 50's for the actual silhouette of the dress but chose the design for more of a abstract, contemporary style. i would be really intreaged to see what this dress would actually looked like if i was to produce it in industry, maybe one day i will.

often i lie awake, think of things i can make but i dont seem to have the parts to build them


draping on the mannequin. using jersey i created shapes inspired from the theme 'flotsam and jetsam' the photo on the right was inspired by shells, the photo on the left was inspired by rope. i like the way the jersey falls of the stand, you could also relate rippling water to the photo on the right. the constrast of fabric colours on the left photo creates a interesting style i want to use again. so far im finding 'flotsam and jetsam' quite inspiring and cannot wait to explore and create textual garments.
