Garment Samples

For the fashion week, we were asked to make either 5 samples of structure, texture or patterned garments. I decided to chose structure because I felt that working with different types of paper it would work quite well with the unusual shapes. Below you can see my garment. 

From the top left is 4 pieces of bright green paper zig-zag together, to create a two-layer construction.

To the right of that is two triangles joined together by a simple piece of paper. The folded triangles are really simple but are very effective.

Again to the right is another paper structure. I used brown paper for this as it was more stable to hold the weight of the layers. The layers a conjoined rings/loops all supporting one another. 

To the far middle left is a single piece of red paper just folded in a way it stands up on its own , and able to hold weight of other objects.

Finally below that is a simple fan made up of a newspaper page. So the fan gets a range of colours instead of one colour. It also creates a textured effect with the mixture of colours.
