Designer Research/Making/Illustration Reminders

Just to clarify a few things we have mentioned in class:

Martin Margiela

• In addition to your research into the Fashion Illustrators we want you to look at the work of two Designers. You should all discuss the work of Martin Margiela and find one other designer whose work interests you (this could be someone you looked at when compiling your Prezi, or look at the brief for suggestions). Provide some background information, get several good reproductions of garments/collections by each designer and analyse these in your own words, write about what inspired the Designer and identify materials/techniques they have employed.
• You should now all be engaged with making your final garments, if you are being held back by a lack of the necessary materials make sure you sort this out THIS WEEKEND. There should not be anyone who is not actively making by Monday.
• Just to make it clear regarding the responses to the 3 illustrators, these should combine three things: 1. The style and materials used by each illustrator. 2. Your own photographs of the figure. 3. A representation of your garment design. See the older post for more guidance.

Remember the DEADLINE is the first Monday back, it would be great if we could get 100% completion ON TIME. We will do some photography of your final garments on the Catwalk, but you should all also arange a location/studio shoot of your own, you may want to start giving some thought to this now.
