Week 28 - 22/04/13 - Develop Directional Design

In order to begin drafting the pattern for my trousers, I used spot and cross to make the near enough silhouette so that I knew roughly how large I needed to work.

 From looking at Japanese silhouettes I played around with mixing them up with more modern, westernised looks:

Week 19 - 18/02/13 - Tailoring Worshop

Today I completed the master draft for my tailored jacket including facings, linings and pockets.

This is the pattern for the collar

Below is the pattern for the lining. I simplified the master draft and added tucks for ease of movement.

Here are the patterns for the jetted pocket with a flap.

Week 18 - 5/02/13 - Develop Directional Design

For this project, I have been given the designer Hanae Mori to design a capsule collection for.

Mori bridges Eastern culture with Western aesthetics. On WGSN one of the capsule trends for S/S 13 is called East-West Fusion which epitomises Mori's design signature.

Week 18 - 4/02/13 - Tailoring Workshop

As part of the tailoring workshop within the module, we are required to pattern cut and make half a tailored jacket. Below is the working drawing I will be working from:

To begin, I traced off a size 10 women's jacket block.

 I lowered the armholes and then readjusted the sleeve head. 

 I removed the darts and transferred them into seams.
