It seems to have metaphor of Flower.

Great choice of fabrics with

subtle colour combination!

Colour and Mood Research

White and Black

Grey with Red

are my colour choice for the collection.

I personally think the emptiness of white

can be decorated with the shades of grey to enhance

the depth of space...

and

the shadow created by the lights

can also make the natural shapes to support the real silhouette.

These pictures are from my Personal Journal for colour

and mood research.

Bright red on White background is dominated and

it comes forward to eyes and seems to be enlarges.

Colour combination of urban grey with shadow of white

gives more clean edge.

Structured but natural shapes

can be derived from these four main colours.

Black with silver grey create modern look with

nice and clean cuts and tailoring.

The New Transformer

THE NEW TRANSFORMER...

Reshaping the body through Clothing_

Issey Miyake's clothes

creates the new shape of the body

through his design.

His design is often used to be inspiration,

because of the unusual silhouette he makes.

These all images from the book called

'Iseey Miyake body works (1983), A perspective beyond form'

His tendency of using synthetic fabrics

is very helpful to create and mould

the interesting shapes,

for example his pleating techniques with polyester.

This beautifully shaped jacket and the shorts

have perfect curves to follow body line smoothly.

He also experimented with his photos

to enhance the impact of his garment shape as above.

Balanced or Unbalanced Mix & Match layering

clothes also interesting to look at.

Using similar colours with different textures of

the fabric is another way of layering the garment.

Unusual fastenings and transforming traditional

Japanese garment into modern shape also gives

a new direction.

Interestingly twisted and knotted silhouette shows

his knowledge of looking at

the body shape in different angles.

The new meaning of Transformation throughout

the clothing is given and expanded to

more possibilities.

Colour research

Jacket design_1

This is the Jacket to match with jumpsuit

I will use heavy weight wool.

I will also use the raglan shoulder pads

inside to support smooth shoulder line.  

This jacket has a back opening.

Silouette Exercise_5

Interesting combination of different textured fabrics

and colors (Black and Grey)

Silouette Exercise_4

Suede grey trouser with experiments of twisting 

Silouette Exercise_3

I turned this trouser inside out to get 

contrast of the colour and stitch decoration.

Silouette Exercise_2

Different drape design using back of the trouser.

That idea of using back pocket placed on the side

can be used for other jacket design.
