what has jack been doing!!?!

good question!
RIght now:
All my toiles are finalised, all i have to work on, 3dimensionally is a proper y front and a good finish for the hood on my 'Y' front body suit, then i am set to have all my garments finished by, hopefully, the weekend, because that;s when i am having them photographed by Dylan Buzolich, an old highschool friend who has worked with my clothes before.. I've given him the brief that the photos should look really plain, not sexual, which is going to be hard, because the penis is visable in the garments.. all three..

So my project response is there, but a friend outlined that i didnt mention i would be doing giant posters… which i guess is what i meant when i said large scale images. That's mainly what the photos are going to be for i think. i really want to take photos of the garments by themselves. maybe while dylan has his flashy $12,000 camera out i can throw them past the lens and take a few garments in motion shots!

Also i want to do some homemade shots as well.








These are the images i used to the stretch generics investigation, they summerized my menswear exploration visually as well as starting my project, which would go down a similar path of mens clothing that reveals.

As you've probably read in my project response, i've looked at garments for men that have a utility, because its these garments that allow for skin to be revealed. so naturally i have this urge to contextualise the clothes i'm creating into some kind of sports-ish theme or some sort of dance or movement look.. i have to try really hard to avoid this, so that i give the garments little or no voice, and the model no feelings, emotions, no erotisisms, no notions of sexuality, just plain old garments being taken photos of… the garments will talk i guess.. but in their own way, i dont want the photos to dictate what they have to say.

here is some images of the toiles (excluding the full body suit, which is the most exciting.. but i havent managed to get any good shots of it yet)



this is a one peice.. with the 'y' build into the lower with net revealing the penis.. looking back on where i've come from, i've really just sort of jumped straight to showing penis.. no shying away from this..
These simpler one pieces should look like two garments, which means that it almost softens the blow for men wearing one peice garments. I was considering making a one piece which used the idea of a connected loose singlet and a pair of the men's cut leggings which i toiled during the generic garment investigation. It would be incredibly wearable in everyday contexts!
