I was going through my documents the other day and found all my fashion portfolio work I have done so far, so I have decided to show you lovely creatures some of my work over the past year. First I will show you my artworks.
Here is one of my school artworks from the theme 'life fabric' , the piece is called 'failure to thrive' and the meaning behind it is the transition to the unknown from the two states of being between, life and death.
The technique was a dress dipped in PVA glue in order to preserve the creases in the fabric, and the 'wounds' made out of oil and modelling paste act as the obstacles of life.
My second art piece 'Ambiguous Identity' illustrates the constriction of women throughout fashion's history through stereotypical interpretations of femininity. The crinoline corset structure is constructed of chicken wire to represent confinement of the female form, with lace and tulle as embellishment.
The tulle was used to create an ethereal quality for the silhouette , and as a change to the ideals of feminity.
The piece was shown hanging up in mid air with matching bra,underwear, and lipstick all made of chicken wire.
Watch this space for more of my fashion related creations.
