Don't really like the snake skill look but i love the way he has built solid unbrella structors into his collection and i'd love to know how to bring that idea into my own work.

FASHION: Material design photos

Creating designs from my one chosen shape. shown on the right, with the use of heavy, medium and light weight fabric. Doing this as an exploration of how different weight fabric changes the shape and form of the initial shape and creates new and different shapes to each other.
My fabric are: heavy weight-Leatherette, medium weight-curtain lining, light weight-dress lining.


Design ideas 1. mainly heavy fabric the use of a one small shape of light fabric for the shoulder piece.

Design 2. A mix of heavy, medium and light weight fabric

Mix of two different colours of a heavy weight  fabric (leatherette)
