Fashion and Textiles

Collage for my fashion project, with figures on acetate in the foreground.

This is an image of a collage I made for my fashion and textiles project last week. We were told to imagine what the  world could be like thousands of years in the future, this was my interpretation! Its a mixture of photographs and cut out tracing paper. The figures were drawn onto acetate and then painted with different textures and patterns that were inspired by natural textures. The main theme was camouflage as you can see!

This is an image of my piece in progress! The brief was to create a body adornment that would be useful in the future world we had created. After researching into camouflaging techniques used by animals as well as the military, I came across the idea of distorting the silhouette of a person so they aren’t so easily detected by predators.

Essentially it is a series of straps that different shapes can be attached to. It may not be the most practical body adornment but it definitely changes the changes the shape of your silhouette! The final piece is modeled below.
