3D design and fashion textile

Today we finished the fashion and textile course introduction week. We finished the week by making 3D designs on manicons. The task was with using influence from the smaller objects that we had previously created to focus on an area of the body and make a garment for it. I decided to focus on the back.The spine provided me with a frigged outline that would up hold structure whilst also allowing room for sensuality with the backless aspect.

This was my initial design.

I then decided to model someone in the garment to provide personality to the piece. I initially photographed the model by a circular window. The contrast to the heavily spiked garment played well against the soft circular shape. I then wanted to shoot the piece looking out of the window as it portrayed strength and dominance, especially as the model was standing at such a height above the surrounding scenery.

We then found a slightly more secluded area that played against a plain white wall. I staged the piece as almost a warning sign. The shape jagged edges, along with the metal red frame spoke for an alarming photograph.

I also photographed her against a mirror. I figured the shape of the backless piece would capture well in reflection, as you would be able to see it in different angles.
