Sustainability

This image shows the starting point to my sustainability project where I looked at the brand identity of 'Noir' and how they challenged the issues surrounding sustainability.

 This photograph conveys my concept I took forward into my research, along with the current trend 'Monochrome,' that I wanted to include in my final collection, where by the scenario was that I was designing under the 'Noir' Label. I was attracted to the shapes of the skyline from my visit to New York. These were presented and interpreted through repetition of lines and seams in my final garment.

A set of illustration of garments that arrived from my design development, using mixed medias (Fine liner, collage, leather and stitch.) I was influenced by Valentina La Porta, for her use of college, Hannah Cecilla, for her use of stitch on fabric and Connie Blackaller, for her use of both stitch and collage fused together. After much experimentation I developed this outcome.

Continuing with the sustainable theme, I began my research into what sustainability meant to me. This was my starting point and I have used mixed medias to execute primary drawings of various sources.

Sources: Bundles of cardboard boxes packaged ready for recycling, skull representing decaying, human and animal bones and polluted land.

Medias used: Pencil, oil pastels, acrylic paint and ink.

This photograph shows my patterning and manufacturing process of the cropped jacket I created from the layering of disposed, end of roll duct tape, breathing new life into an unconventional material that was ready for landfill.

This is my final outcome.
