This week began with my PDP tutorial, in
which we discussed my summer work, where I want to go with it and how to
develop it.
Following Laura's advice I have reviewed
my summer work, picking out key pieces in order to refine my ideas and start to
give my work more direction. I also made more of my photography in my
sketchbook as this is a strong point and by dissecting my photos and drawings I
can work towards the sampling stage.
I have also begun to look at context
seriously. Over summer I became interested in the potential of menswear.
Highlighted in my tutorial was whether I would be making garments, this is
something I would like to explore but is quite daunting as I have not
attempted anything like this before. With the technical support on offer and
the fashion workshops it is something I am excited to work on though.
Over this week I have began to gather a
range of contextual research of some of the things I find inspiring and have
tried to begin to find a niche I could work within. The more high-end and
conceptual fashion is where I see my work fitting best and I am drawn to
exploring unconventional forms of dress. I think I need to start knitting and
see how my work progresses naturally. I don’t want to define my work too much
at this stage although I am aware of the need to consider audience when
designing/ making.
