[Selection of prints]
Continuing my combination of girlie and superhero, I made a few digital prints from my previous watercolour picture of Adventure Time. I edited it on photoshop to create a few more colours and effects like glow and invert. This neon/fluorescent colour palette works well with the two girls. Bright and silly at the same time. Unfortunately last week was cut short by an interview meaning I had no time to get any of the above prints onto fabric, but this is something I hope to manufacture after the project ends so I can add it to my book. As I have interviews tomorrow and Wednesday, I am worried this project will be slightly lacking, but I will try to catch up on the weekend. However, I am really pleased with how these prints worked out, and I am excited to put them into some designs.
Returning back to the mannequin for some actual shape I have used two materials; a gold (very superhero) crepe fabric with a different colour back, and a white mesh-like fabric. Using both these materials I created a few bolder shapes onto the mannequin. Hoping to make my designs a bit more conceptual. Due to the nature of this project, the aim of the clothes being designed would be like a superhero suit for the two girls so it needs to be wearable, comfortable and easy to move in. Due to England's grey and changeable weather, I think this should include some sort of over coat. This will be something I hope to bring into designing. The girls, at 17 are becoming women, so will need to feel both attractive and confident in the clothes. the mix of the overcoat and tight undergarments will help achieve this compatibility. The mix of the two materials would be perfect as it is both flashy and stretchy with movement and structure. Mixed with the prints as interior textile and the white on the outside, this sportswear-like idea could be both fashionable and practical. Every girls dream!
