Fabrics

So here are some of my fabrics I have got so far, a mix of linens, silks and silk chiffon. For my printing week I will get a lot more in the way of sheer fabrics, as well as on my plain fabrics I am planning to screen print on top of my digital prints which should be coming back in the next couple of days. Looking forward to getting in the print studio this year, I think it is when it all becomes clear, and hopefully my samples will help aid my fashion designs. 

Here are a couple of Designs.

                                      

Fashion Designs.

I am still ploughing on with the fashion designs, probably totting up to around 700 now! Doing some sketchbook pages to make me design a bit free-er instead of just on a body. My designs are going to be fairly simple so I am not sure why I am struggling with it so much. On photoshop I'm trying to show the many layered prints and fabric on my designs by using the opacity tool. This is kind of working but it is very time consuming. Just thinking if I will work better printing my prints on tracing paper and playing a round with them that way.

Leather

Been sourcing leather today, in rich pinky red and a softer bluey green. It is going to be used sparingly just as straps or the triangular shapes in my trousers and leggings.

Accessories

I have also been exploring necklaces as they are going to be an important part of the collection. Planning to water jet cut some bronzy-gold coloured metal in the shapes. I am also considering these at huge zip pulls and buttons and buckles.
