FMP - Kimono Part Three

All photos taken by me, with a Olympus X-1

So I finally finished the Alexander McQueen jacket, as I have said before it turned out to be a lot more tricky than anticipated, but I'm really pleased with the result - except for that awful material! Its done, its sit funny, but that because the mannequin is too small for the actual size of the jacket, but my tutor and I still have a funny feeling about how it sits.

This week in Construction I will be focusing on fabric manipulation and start on a Japanese pattern from the Pattern Magic 2 book! Its always good with a challenge.

The fabric manipulation is mainly to boost my portfolio, as I haven't got any images from previous fabric manipulation sessions and the college isn't the most organised one in the world...

I know I haven't been really good at updating this week, but I'd rather show you finished pieces instead of the mess of a step-by-step.

Now time to watch Stephen Fry: The Secret of the Manic Depression, it watching it in relation to the Joy Division project, as there are theories about Ian Curtis having bipolar, although at the time he was only ever diagnosed with epilepsy.

FMP - Kimono Part One

Photos taken by me, with a Olympus XZ-1

Thursday! Weekend is approaching and its needed.

The pictures are of a kimono that I made last week, not my own design though, its a simplified version of an Alexander McQueen kimono. It's possible to download the pattern of Showstudio, if you want the link, please let me know so I can find out, as it was my tutor that got it for me.

These are just a few detail pics, I'll show you some full-scale of the jacket later on.

This week I have currently been working on the actual Alexander McQueen kimono, which is turning out to be a bit tricky, but I'm up for a challenge, I'll show you when its done.

Next week I'll hopefully be getting some responds from my Printed Accessories tutor, regarding if we are going through with sales of the scarfs - done 'privately', instead of through college. So please let me know, if you are interested.

Which reminds me that I still haven't posted a picture of the scarf that I gave my Mum - I try and get that up during the weekend.
