PHOTOSHOOT OPTION #2

This is another alternative of style in photoshoot. Using a more scenic background to make a garment that is quite crafted and unique more relevant by putting it in an everyday background, or a scenic background that can be linked back to ordinary life. This can also create a fashion forward and more commericial aesthetic, which if I want to go that direction, would benefit my designs. However, though I'm still undecided...i think i'm leaning towards the plain white background.

PHOTOSHOOT OPTION #1

the photographers for these shoots have not been mentioned but the simplicity of it really appeals to me. I feel that using a simple white background will keep the aesthetic and mood simplistic yet innovative. It also sets up focus on the details of the garments.

I want to do a shoot for a look book? I want it to suggest simplicity yet I want it to be edgy and fashion forward. And I want to be able to show details, and I feel this can create that. I just feel that a simple white background has a clean look to it, which is relevant to origami being so sharp, straight to the point and the association of white to paper.

Dress #3

This design....I once again have used the long sleeve dress pattern as a base garment. What I will do is just shorten the sleeves! I want to create a bulk of texture using the origami around the neckline. And once again I want to use the eyelet feature. Whether it be on the back or the front I am yet to decide.

Dress #2

So here is what i plan to do for another final. Using the origami for the skirt, I will use the long sleeve dress as a starting point for a strapless fitted dress. The eyelet feature will be at the centre front. And the opening will be at the centre back using an invisible zip. I don't know if this will be a smart move (considering the amount of time that I have) but I actually plan to line these dresses. I don't think I will toile this design but just go straight into it, as I am seriously running out of time... And I want to do a photoshoot for the panel.

FINAL DESIGNS!?????? #1

Hahaha! so i took almendra's idea of inserting my ideas on the actual image itself... so here I've dodgily used 'microsoft paint' to alter my images. So anyway, as one of my finals, here is what I have finally decided to do....

I'm taking the assymetrical dress idea and have simplified it. I feel the origami texture would be best enhanced in a less complicated body. So I'm still using the asymmetrical idea but I've also decided to incorporate...*drum roll please*.... eyelets. The reason for this is because originally I had wanted to use macrame with my designs but I didn't know how to incorporate it with origami. So I felt that using some sort of lace or thread can still create that feel!!

In this designs I have decided to make the waistband bigger and use the eyelet feature on the front waistband. The skirt will be an asymmetrical one, short at the front and longer at the back. i have already trialled this but for a totally seperate design outside of this class and I feel it would allow for a unique and yet simplistic aesthetic. I will bind the edges of the skirt.

shoulder dress

In this design I have just toiled sections. With an asymmetrical neckline I wanted to use origami as a decorative feature on the shoulder. I don't yet know what size i will use and the amount that I wish to attach.

The shoulder

lessening the amount of origami folds.

Using only small origami folds

I actually prefer the minimalist aesthetic of the last design.
