Down the Rabbit Hole


This blog will follow my own journey into the world of fashion, design, inspiration but most of all it is about creativity and style and how this is reflected in the choice of shapes, structure, colours and fabrics.

Day 3

I was painfully aware that this day would come, we had to start drawing!!! And not simply drawing anything but actual clothes!!! This is the part that I feared most (and the reason why I will most likely never be a world famous fashion designer...)
Although we would continue with the visual research, we moved on to focus on different elements of the dress we were about to make: details, colour, texture, shape.
Taking the images we had chosen we had to make them into clothes, nothing easier than that!!! I put enormous effort into trying to transform the images of winding dark stairs, hieroglyphs and shells into pieces that could be worn, and all this on a blank sheet of paper. Somewhere very far away in my mind I was beginning to become slightly more aware of the silhouettes, shapes, folds along the body and the way details curve when placed as different part of a dress. But that was very vague and still in my mind, very far away from the sheet of tracing paper in front of me...
