FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY - 1ST PROJECT - FINAL COMPLETE SHIRT

My 1st project at university, complete!

Just a basic shirt with a shirt dress placket.

 

FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY - 1ST PROJECT - INSPIRATION

Shirt from Titania Inglis

 

I love the large solid black yoke and the hand-painted

swirling smoke designs.

 

Made me feel inspired :)

 

Also, stunning photogaphy!

                            
 

FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY - 1ST PROJECT - CROPPED SHIRT

Ok, so here's some photos of my cropped shirt!

Throughout the past few weeks in construction workshops

we've gone through steps of making different parts of the shirt.

 

Left: collar and front shirt placket with buttonholes.

Right: symmetrical darts in the back of the shirt.

Left: welt seam on the shoulder with slight gathers in the sleeve head.

Right: continuous shirt placket.

 

Left: side view of the garment.

Right: lap seam on the side and bust dart to the front of the shirt.

 

View of the shirt from the front.

 

I have now gone on to constuct my final shirt where I am going to include

french seams and shirt dress plackets. The theme is monochrome and I have chosen

to use black, grey, white and striped fabric!

 

TALBOT RUNHOLF FALL WINTER 2011/2012

I realize that I haven't posted in a while!

So just an update on whats been going on :)

I passed college and got into Falmouth University to study 

BA (Hons) Fashion/Performance Sportswear Design!

They set me a summer project; Shirts.

 This would then lead into my 1st project once I got there.

I had to explore the history, politics and different cultures within shirts, which I

found quite interesting once I got into it :)

But the best part of all was finding a brand/designer that had subverted the shirt!

I came across Talbot Runhof;

a duo mix of an American (Johnny Talbot) and a German (Adrian Runhof)

There Fall Winter 2011/2012 Ready-to-wear collection was to die for!
  It was also perfect as they had subverted the shirt!
