Generating Fashion: Sketchbook/Tutorial Update

This week my task was to produce 20 designs in order to make a start on toiling for the final garment for this project. The designs I have produced so far have been inspired by my 'Macabre' research as well as drawings of beetles that I did last week from Manchester Museum. The idea behind this is that I am interested in the way beetles have a cocoon like outer shell that acts as a protective element for a soft inner core. From this I want to create a balance between constriction and protection. This is apparent in my designs as I have tried to play with the element of the stacked collar.



However, from my tutorial Sarah thought that I had not pushed my designs far enough and that they were too conservative. She suggested that I continue to explore shape and form so that my collection is more innovative and visually exciting. Guess its back to the drawing board!
