Words for garments

Thinking of words I might want to use to name my garments.
I want to incorperate words to do with the memory, age, decay and perhaps a bit to do with travel (due to the oriental vibe of my collection). Also perhaps words that conquer up memory.

1st illustration started

Just working in photoshop on my first illustration. Incorperated some of the imagrey from last assignment (burnt holes) was thinking of putting my fabric swatches inside of these but it doesnt really show up. I feel soemthigns a bit off with the layout and balance. Loving bits of it tho...jsut keep working

Almost finished Line up

Almost finished the line up! I just need to add text. I decided to use a photograph for the background as I found with my last assignment that when hand rendering everything it became very disconnected with reality. Also these girls wouldn't be seen trudging up a mountain I think the quiet, serene yet slightly degraded landscape fits perfectly with my theme and is in fact one of the original images I was inspired by. I used this image on my mood board however ti was tiny because I couldn't find a larger version, but now I will put it on mood board and blow it up as to eliminate the harsh edges. I think the way the models are slightly overlaping adds to the textural and layering aspect of this collection. Feeling a little better abouts this assignmetn now. Now jsut need to bang out illustrations and continue Range book + make material swatch/imagery book (fabric/colour board) and details board...then complete samples..ekkk



Line up almost complete



Range Plan in photoshop

Its getting really hard to keep up with blogging when there is so much to do!

Here is a screen shot of my range plan so far. Im using photoshop as I dont know how to use indesign or anything. Have put in some guide lines which took for ever to calculate! will be putting the specs on the left hand side and the description on the right, still need to finish fabrics pallets so I can add them according to outfit. There are 6 categories, Intimates, Accessories, Tops, Bottoms, Outer wear and Hosiery. There are a few sub categories within these. Each categorie has a different background, not sure if they are going o be to intense, will turn down at the end once writing and that is on. Will probably have this as a fold out booklet/brochure/thingy majiggy. Not sure if it will be double sided at this point.
