Final Photoshoot

Here are a sampling of images from the photoshoot- I am very new to photoediting so it looks a little hokey-pokey but it will be resolved for the visual presentation tomorrow.

I am thinking of having 2 mannequins with dresses on it, and 2 silver coat hangers with Lizzys face printed on a piece of paper on top, so that it is clear to the viewer that the garments are just objects created through the design subjectivity of the buyer. Also I will have my folio and blog printed out, a sample box of objects (the ones that originally didnt work out)- so you can see how it would work in a retail setting, and my garments. Also I will have a video (simular to that of the last blog post but more refined) and my presentation on powerpoint with key images will also be shown!

wow. so much to do and I only just realised :) isnt that always the wayyyyyy!!!

Drawings

I've decided Im going to scan drawings of my garments because I have run out of things to do; not that I've really run out of things to do just that I should really refine what I have done rather than start new projects with only 5 days left.

Here are some my final outcomes:

Photoshoot/Presentation inspiration

Doing the photoshoot for the garments & now 1 pair of lace booties on Sunday and have arranged an amazingly beautiful friends cousin to model and I have been researching the styles of photography that I think will suit everything;

I like the idea of over-exposed white-washed blurry sort of photographs:

(so so wedding beautiful!)

Also, in terms of my presentation I was thinking of originally putting my garments on mannequins but then I saw this and am inspired:

So I trialed it....not sure of whether I like it?.....?>...............?

Fourth Wedding Dress

Continuing with the idea from my orignal point of inspiration- a wrapped dress with paper streamers- I have created a wedding dress out of chiffon using the same method / process of twisting around to get dressed and thereby create a covering of your body by the long object.

Photobucket

Here is a video describing what I am failing to articulate properly:


The twisted object was then entirely hand tacked to itself and became a dress, in an original form, which was then cut again:

This is the first version of the final product:

Here is the finished actual:



HOW MUCH DOES IT LOOK LIKE TOILET PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
