In this fashion session we challenged our students to make a costume which morphs: a garment that either transforms or combines two ideas together. One of our designers thought about water and lightning, another colour and shades.
This geometric garment -black swan, white swan- uses an interesting diagonal design and feathered fabric, reminiscent of wings. The outfit is completed with a angled triangular hat, which creates a beak like headress.
This is a pattern drafting exercise. The idea is to put together a rough working idea for a uniform -not a finished garment. Our students have to fashion something fabulous using textiles, bits of old garments, ribbons, sticky back plastic, foam sheets, mylar, tape, glue and pins.
In this design, light and dark fabrics are used to represent good and evil.
This reversible costume is a combination cat-ghost. The headband also twists round to reveal cat ears or ghost horns.
Ninja man and all his accessories...
This design was split down the middle, with one side decorated with fringes and colourful bows to make a clown. The other side uses net flowers and silver tinsel to create a ballerina.
