Arts Thread

My graduate collection is heavily inspired by instruction manuals, blueprints and plans. By researching into this theme, it has allowed me to develop a collection of garments that explore the functionality of a garment. The concept of this collection is to have garments that can be transformed from being 2-dimensional to a 3-dimensional wearable garment through fastenings by taking the concept from plans and implementing them into garments (viewing a garment as a flat object rather than 3 dimensional much like floor plans do for buildings). I have researched into this theme by taking apart existing garments to develop different ways a garment can open out and lay flat. I was able to create garments that have zips and fastenings attached to different seams and sleeve seams that allow for this concept work.
