The ideas behind the dress...



This is the mood board from which I drew inspiration from, and then the CAD version of my final design. The brief for our designs had a very spacey feel so I mainly focused on the film "Mad Max" as this had a very rough around the edges futuristic look. The other part of the brief meant that we had to have an ethical opinion, and as a result of this I used upcycled denim as this would not only cut production costs but mean that the garment was ethically friendly. I also feel that the used/worn denim added to the "mad mad" inspired look. I applied this to the 1950's dress shape and proceeded to add surface textures such as screen print, studding and hand embroidery.
Manifique.

Just a little look at the dress I am currently making... Using upcycled denim for all you eco-concious fashion folk out there. With a bright coloured petticote underneath, the skirt has a beautiful 50's style kick and would be perfect for a vintage fair or swing dance to name a few.
