ROTATION THREE | FASHION DESIGN

The beginning of the process  

During my High School studies back in Italy, I used to frequent an institute with both Graphic and Fashion Design courses. Although I used to see many mannequins with interesting and kind of unwearable clothes, I have never been into Fashion. 

With this project, I have been asked to realize a garment made of paper being inspired by a piece of Typography or Architecture. Of course I chose Typography as it is part of Graphic Design!
To get to the final outcome I faced a process of development which included drawing, creation of pattern, texture and different shapes.

The piece of Typography I chose was a work made by a studio on a typeface.
It is made of interesting shapes and blended colours.
Although using a piece of Type instead Architecture ended up being much more difficult, I did not give up.

Here (photo above) is the first part of the process where, after a deep research, I started to play with the shapes of the Type creating some patterns. I then applied my experiments to a figure and a garment. This process helped and showed me how from some simple shapes I could quickly made a design.

In the next part of the development process, I applied my patterns to several figures always playing with shapes and exaggerating as the final piece will not be wearable but will reflect the points of inspiration and creativity.
