More stand development
Here I knotted and draped wool onto the stand to create a really organic silhouette I really like the effortless weight it portrays.
Stand work
I decided to do some work on the stand using knit and weaving techniques and came up with these details using plastic tubing as the base of which the wool wraps around. I love the way it can be manipulated into different forms. I would like to develop this further so that it has a bias fluid garment wrapped within the tubes.

My Concept
TRANCEND
tranˈsɛnd,trɑːn-/
verb
- 1.be or go beyond the range or limits of (a field of activity or conceptual sphere)."this was an issue transcending party politics"
My concept is to look further than everyday life into different cultures and globalisation. Working with hand craftsmanship techniques to create something Beyond minimalism and the 'norm'.My influences from Galliano are his bias cuts, structural outerwear and his metalwork accessories. I will experiment with many hand crafts throughout this module.
John Galliano
I have been given the designer John Galliano to research, looking at and analysing their work, the era and what makes them iconic. It will be this designer that I will produce a concept for and design a contemporary directional range.
Scenario
You have been headhunted by an international fashion company who have seen your graduate show and want you to develop a capsule collection for them.
You have been asked to make a presentation of your findings, on the company and your initial research for a new collection for the brand, to the senior design team. (Staff and students).
You will then carry out further research and idea development. Research must contain all aspects of the garment development from concept through to cut and construction research including seam finishing’s and trims/ zips etc.
You will then select, to cut and construct two outfits that typify your concept.
