White shirt.

I'm now in London and literally having the time of my life. For some who don't know, I'm a student at  the world prestigious Central Saint Martins, specialising in Fashion (Foundation).
Its great to meet people from all around the world who share the same interest and have the same goal. The workload is high and stressful, but as a result we have been creating some awesome shit.

The White Shirt project - September 2014

After projects based on research skills, we were able to start a new project focusing on garment construction and recording. The project was a great insight to how we can work on a project for more than a week. This project allowed us to explore ways in which a classic white shirt can be manipulated and deconstructed, exploring this through texture manipulation, deconstruction and drawing.
I chose to focus on texture and silhouette, rather than deconstructing a shirt and making it into a total different garment. I wanted to keep elements of a classic white shirt, yet manipulating form and texture. After lots of exploration through materials and processes, I started to record ways in which my shirt could hang on the body and off the body, and changing the environment of what a classic 'white shirt' would be seen in.

 Using innovative techniques - plaiting, weaving, and knitting with plastics, melting plastics to create texture.
