Week 8 Lecture and Progress

Lecture:

This week, we learned about the design process of fashion. This starts from capturing inspiration using photos, and textures. With inspiration along with trend spotting, the designer can start to draw and sketch to put their ideas onto paper and visualise them better. They can also start to explore silhouettes through 2D by drawing or 3D by fabric. 

Final Assignment Progress:

This week we started out our Final Assignment by doing trend research. We started out browsing together and came to a conclusion of: Cut outs, knitwear, liquid metal fabric and a few colours. Since we had 4 trends to dig deeper, we split it among ourselves based on first come first serve. Hence, I chose to do colour trend research. 

Since we finished our trend research and had extra time, we decided to do the inspiration board, colour board, moodboard and target market. For inspiration, we were joking about how the cut outs, fabric and colours reminded us of Techna from Winx club, which in the end started the whole technology/futuristic vibes for our collection. We then gathered similar inspirations like the K-pop girl group Aespa whose concept also revolved around futuristic technology. Since I did the colour trend research, it was logical for me to be tasked with doing the colour board. So I gathered inspirations from Pinterest which included the colours we shortlisted.
