TOIL-FINAL 2 DESIGNS




TOILS of final two desigs, Im happy with both outcomes and I thought they would be harder then I thought! The arched sleeveless jacket was tricky but got it finally. Both I feel will work well the the meduim weight wool i chose to make them out off. I dont need to make the trousers up or the skirt for the designs as I have the trouser pattern already done and the skirt will be toiled straight on the manniquin, as I want it seamless.

SKETCHBOOK/FILE
I have been working on my sketchbook and file this week. Alongside this illustrations which I found a style that finally suits me. I like these pencil drawing i did but still needs to be refined. I feel updated with allot things but just a little behind with my sketchbook, so i need to make sure i keep on top of things
MP-Making
I'm a little behind but nothing to be concern bout I feel. As the crash got me a little behind I have decided to come back those things and keep track in my other stages. I feel on top of things. The metal panelling is on course along side the gold work embroidery so i hope it will all be OK. I still have tow more outfits to toil in the week coming so I shall do that as I'm waiting on the fabric form EDGAR.

Metal work- TOIL Cont.Alterations




these are some images that show my final toils for the panels I needed to cut out of metal for my final pieces. I have to toil this twice as the first time wasn't right and the fabricator suggestion some alteration like paneling them slightly thinner ect. I'm pleased with this and will take it to him this week and see if this is better... although he did mention I may need to split the front 2 panels in half as it will look more effect and not clumsy and bulky!!

PHOTOSHOOT RESEARCH- KATTACA

I think this image is great with position of the arm, as mine to has a arm statement piece. the position of the model is something that i like here!




MY PHOTOSHOOT-
DAVID LAM
I was in a car when my final photo shoot was taking place!! I was gutted but was sure that my tutors would of taken care of it. I heard it went really well and and the shoot was successful. I wanted to go for a contemporary strong look. As its very sculptural I wanted a strong pose and look and prefable a full shoot..but apparently I didn't have one as it was best to be taken they way they did it...so i just have to wait. This was some of the images I have showed David weeks before on the kinda look I wanted. My friend Laura was kind enough to show me a company that has amazing fashion photography...KATTACA. these images are very strong and to over the top for me..but the statement and the visual impact is there and they work amazingly with he outfits. I would want to achieve the same principle with my outfit.
