i started off designing garments. I am studying menswear and the garement in this project is for non binary. i want the final outcome somehow evoke a feminine vibe from masculine and heavy shape. so i used some particular garment that evoke that femininity i can think of such as off-shoulder jumper, shoulder bag or long sleeveless top which look like sleeveless dress so it breaks down the boundary of gender. one keyword of the film Frankenstein is ‘Outcast of society’. For this reason the muse of this project is people of here
which always give me inspiration. it is more like their vibe rather than specific style so i cant define and portray them as muse, but if this project is actual catwalk and if i can curate model, i certainly will choose that people.
As i said the garment is for outcasts of society, punk people or people who like extreme piercing are muse of this project.
the monster has metal stuffs on his head. Piercing is suitable for translating this into fashion.
+ in class i got feedback about my overall work style from the tutor. he pointed out the speed of my work. i actually have been hearing that a lot since i started studying art. i used to work on one objection for around 5 months. As i mentioned on the previous ppd, i tend to immerse myself at small detail. Besides, i have my own logical order that makes my work logically makes sense in my mind so it takes longer to make it out than other people. i have been aware of this matter and actually it got improved a bit by pushing myself for a half year in this school. However, it still need to be improved because this work style is my strength as well as weakness. however, If i can’t control this, it is just a weakness. i think all i need to do to improve this matter is to plan. Make a specific plan every week and try my best to achieve that plan. i know myself that i always invest time on work than i expect and i certainly can tell that i would not be able to achieve the plan every week, but its absolutely better than doing work without a plan.
in next BA course, i will work for various term. it would be really short or really long term project. I need to consider the theme of project depend on term. if it is short project i would choose much more and visible object that i can get inpsration directly. if it is long term project i could choose some unseen idea that require studies and experiments. in this term, the object, Frankenstein, required considerate research and experiment. it means i failed to choose proper theme this time.
+ line up plan
First of all the garment is for non binary. I will not design tailoring details that much unlike term2. There will be skirts, dress, and tights
The final outcome will be 8~10.
- Non binary doesn’t mean that it has to be feminine so some of design will be simply trousers or coat.- around 2?
- mask and conceptual design as accent design.- around 3~4?
- Totally wearable garment – 3?
- Garment that evoke feminine vibe – 5? Like sleeveless dress, tights, skirt
- purple bleached denim – 2, b&w bleached denim – 2
- sponge-like fabric – 3~2
- green leather – 4~5
- flower print – 3~2
- consider chain proportion
1, frankenstein (wearable) coat (piercing face)
2, frankenstein (40%)+ black and white bleach 60% conceptual
3, frankenstein 60+ black and white bleach 40 conceptual
4, frankenstein 40, purple bleach 60 (stocking)
5, francis bacon inspired (30 , purple bleach 70
6, francis bacon inspired (tights), purple bleach, flower print (20)
7, purple bleach, flower print (60)
8, francis bacon inspired, flower print (chain-like print dominant)
the narrative want to deliver through this outcome is ‘so called ‘mosnter’ being happy.’ So the order of outfits will start from green leather that indicates the monster, and bleached denim that indicates suppression and be ended up with flowers.
