FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY - 1ST PROJECT - FINAL COMPLETE SHIRT

My 1st project at university, complete!

Just a basic shirt with a shirt dress placket.

 

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!

Colours:
black, white, bronze, poppy and rosewood
Fabrics:
cotton, wool crepe, silk faille, silk georgette, satin, silk duchess, cashmere,
rabbit, organza and guipure embroidered sequin knits

RED RIDING HOOD - COLLECTION ON THE CATWALK

My Red Riding Hood collection backstage at the fashion show and on the catwalk!

There not finished yet but still wearable :)

RED RIDING HOOD FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS

My two rough sketches of the two garments I'm making for Red Riding Hood.

I still have yet to create a background and finalise the illustrations.

OUTFIT 2 (FUR JACKET) - RED RIDING HOOD

An image of my fur jacket pattern pieces on the fabric.

Then below is a front and back view of the fur jacket

(which is unfinished at this stage)

This fur is difficult to work with as it gets everywhere and it's thick to cut!

It's good quality and is giving me the perfect look to my jacket.

I brought it from www.fauxthrow.com

OUTFIT 1 (DRESS BODICE) - RED RIDING HOOD

Below image is of my pattern pieces for the bodice of my dress (outfit 1)

layed out onto a heavyweight red wool fabric.

Below image is of the front view of the bodice of the dress.

It still has a lot of work to be done to it, this is just an update to show you how

I'm getting on with everything!
