My label

This is a Label i designed for my brand, using photoshop it is to represent second skin, the backwards s also represents a 2, like 2nd skin, the charcoal grey and purple were chosen because they are dark and the colours coordinate well with my final garment and any other garments that would be introduced into this collection.

Trousers!

Here are a few images of my rubber trousers being glued together. which took a good three hours! Sorry about the poor quality, ipod cameras really are not the best.

Ethical statement

My concept has developed from ideas of Scottish heritage, tradition and social status.  In line with this I have focused on fabrics, which represent this notion. Tartans, checks and woven fibres made from lambs wool. All of which resourced from second hand shops and car boot sales. Ideas of re love, reuse and recycle to create a slow fashion garment. Alongside this notion are the conflicting and contradictive ideas of Sci fi, space age and comets.  It’s this eclectic mix of very different concepts, which allows my work to remain ethically aware whilst remaining original. The use of PVC or latex can be seen as a controversial choice when stating that you are ethically ware, but the idea of slow fashion is the key message I want my work to show. My choice of fabric is important when thinking about creating a garment, which is slow fashion. The material itself must be sustainable and long lasting, to be able to become a lifetime piece. PVC and Tartan have different historic backgrounds, different looks, and contrasting styles. This makes them an interesting combination.

My final Design

This is A quick CAD design for my final garment.

Customer Moodboard

For this project we had to make up a story for our customer who would be buying our final garment, this is a moodboard i have created that would link with my target customer.

Final Project

For my final project i am mixing Tartan with rubber linking this with the brief, the words i chose and specifically looked at were science fiction and traditions, i feel my design is a way to make a classic material like tartan edgy and interesting.
