Fashion: Designing on Mannequins


After I finished making my samples I photocopied them which would give the effect of having the sample repeated lots of times. I think the plastic string coil sample created the most interesting photocopy, also it was the most two dimensional out of all my samples which meant that it didn't move in the photocopier.  


After this was carried out it was time to create different ideas and designs on a mannequin. I found this quite therapeutic as there was not really a right or wrong way to go about it, it was all experimentation. We worked on the mannequins for quite some time to allow ourselves to work with different samples and try as many different things as we could. As I thought the plastic string coil was my favourite out of all my samples so I worked with this one most while working on the mannequins. I created lots of different ideas on the mannequin, looking at different parts of the body but mainly focusing on the upper body in places such as the chest, neck and shoulders. I found this to be the most interesting place to work on as it has lots of different curves, and an accessory for the chest or shoulders is not the most conventional, which I liked. 


Next was the task of producing croquis so we could design our ideas a little bit better and have more than just a sketch and photograph like what we did with the mannequins. First I created my croquis template so I could photocopy it so that it was easy to produce loads of designs.

Here are some of the things I came up with:
