I have a project this time which goes under the title of deconstruct. So far I have cut up a leather boot and an old pair of jeans. I am about half way throungh deconstructing both and I am completely stuck as to what to do after. I have to sort of use the idea of deconstruct but team it with another concept. This would have been a great project had I got off to the right start and combined my deconstruct with another actual concept. Have so far had almost 3 weeks on the project and am completely lost. I looked at Jean Paul gaultiers 2005 fall collection for Dior and thought that was a good place to start but have since struggled to adapt the images I first saw to the objects that I subsequently chose. I have currently left London this week in search of new inspiration and I also wasn't feelin that great due to a combination of stress and a stomach bug so I am currently back in Manchester for a few days. My mum gave me one of her inspirational talks this afternoon over a cup of tea and I felt a lot better and soon got down to work. Started messing with was and trapping stuff in tea bags to see where that got me as my tutor suggested working on a clear material or organza as denigm would have been quite difficult to manipulate. I need to take the detail of the jeans and play around with it on more light weight fabrics which I feel will work really well.
I have sort of come to the conclusion that with Fridays interim crit looming i need to come up with something to show for all the hecticness that's going on in my mind and I am starting to have a few ideas as to where I should go. When looking back at the Dior images I immediately thought to use the boots to make a corset and incorporate the jeans stitching and pocket detail into a sort of skort/skirt idea but full length and elegant. I like this idea but I feel that it is a bit close to where I originally came from. My next idea is to use the boots with the organza to make sort of a rain coat idea with the boots as more of a hood/shoulder pad piece and then the organza or another fabric with the jeans pickets detail as pockets and fastenings further down the rain cloak or mac. Not really sure what to do and could use some input to see what anyone thinks as I seem to be going round and round in circles and I have to be up in like 4 hours!!!!! I think I shall keep looking for the time being and if anyone has any advice please post.it would be greatly appreciated and you would be saving my life quite literally please and thank you xxx
Just a side note here but is anyone stressing out/ feeling not too great at the moment? I just can't seem to Chanel my energy artistically it just seems to be wrapped up in things that are really negative like men issues and home sickness along with the slight problem of not being able to Hoover my flat at the moment. Oh well things can only get better I suppose! Xxx
