Post 1 Stretch Generics.

So i'm a little bit lazy when it comes starting blogs etc, but i become quite dedicated when i get into a roll.

We've now completed the second week or stretch generics and we've already completed:

1 T-shirt Project:

Plain Tee

De-constructed Tee

Geo-metric Tee

2 Sing

let Project

Plain Singlet - constructed on a mannequin (i chose to create mine on a size 38 mannequin, I requested a smaller, new alvaform mannequin because the older ones seem to be rather…. fat.. i also plan to continue on using male mannequins… and obviously design for menswear)

Cut-Copy Singlet - This i have only done preliminary technical drawings for, i won't get my head around it until i start making and dra

wing from 3D. i'm really excited to try some high-stretch shapes…i really enjoyed wo

rking on the plain singlet.

Images of me playing with lace. I beleive its

raschel knit. Its interesting watching how far fabric can stretch and where it will stretch when a body is forced into it.. as though its going through it.

Late last year i went and saw a chunky move dance production. Although the show was a little pathetic in its flow and story-line, there were some really spectacular scenes. Opening scene had the three dancers sliding below a liquid looking black fabric, high high stretch, they were able to even stand up.. the shapes created underneath this were remarkable and it was an unforgetable scene. It was like oil had been given life, but it was angry and ma

licious.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding the name of the production, let alone images! but they will appear, its something that i find very interesting!

Here are images of

my geometric tee-shirt finished.. there is one more photos.. but i'm still getting used to using blogspot, not that its a real concern. The different photos showed the multi-funtions of the t-shirt. I really admire designers who used multi-funtionality in a really simple way. Lui Hon for example! Previous to trying it out, i considered that sort of design rather difficult to come up with, when perhaps it can be defined as on purpose accidental.
