i have looked at Gary Harvey as he is a very famous fashion designer who uses recycled products. i have done two small samples one using prints and buttons and the other using melted clingfilm and bottle lids.



As Carolyn Saxby used recycled products i moved in to recycling.



TO MAKE THIS SAMPLE I USED BLEACH ON PAPER. I DID THIS TO RECREATE CAROLYN SAXBY'S WORK.


i then looked at Carolyn Saxby as she looked at close up textures, she used recycled products to reproduce her photos which took me in to looking at recycling.
from the patterns and texture i have looked at i have created a collage using different samples and techniques.





marble effect using dyes in water, paint, magazines and first hand images.





checked pattern using magazines


I produced a range of samples using tissue paper and bleach, burning fabrics, fabric dyes and cut up clothing.


Leopard print is a pattern i focused on i used first hand images and magazine cut outs to produce the leopard effect.









From looking at Lady gaga up close i moved on to looking at textures and patterns up close. I zoomed in on ''shiny'' clothing and used Cd's and fabric to produce this effect. i also took first hand images of shiny clothing to show which texture i was looking at.
Firstly i looked at the ''meat dress'' and recreated it using bleach, dyes, dissoluble paper, threads, pastels etc...
So i moved on to looking at the ''close up'' image of clothes.


This picture inspired me the most due to all the detail on the dress and the randomness of the pattern.



Whilst looking at Lady Gaga i moved on to looking at different costumes in detail. i then produced samples from these including media such as bleach and snapped Cd's.

Alexandra McQueen is another one of Lady GaGa's designers as he produced the shoes she was wearing to the MTV awards.
I have not only looked at Lady GaGa but i have also looked at some of the designers who created these wild items. Hussein Chalayan produced a bubble dress just like Lady GaGa's, he also produced a hat which lady GaGa has worn.





Statements to day come from celebs. I have taken the biggest statement of to day and looked at Lady GaGa, Lady GaGa's wild fashion is the talk of this year. i have taken some of her wild clothes and produced samples by useing the colours and the textures of her clothes.



To produce this sample i used the technique needle felting. i zoomed in on a piece of Boy George's clothing line and reproduced it using felting.



Boy George was the next fashion designer i loooked at as he created his own punk clothing line. i looked in detail at this clothes and picked out parts to recreate using different media.






I then moved back to fashion and the punk tutu, i took first hand images, did sketches and created samples to show differnt ways in which the tutu can be worn and used.




I took a photo and photoshoped it to produce photos like Andy Warhol's self portrait.

from my fashion designer moved on at an artist. the artist i chose to look at is Andy Warhol. i used his self portrait images as i belive they show a part of punk with them being black with vibrant colours

Here i used dye and threads on top of material to create the punk hair style Vivienne westwood used on one of her cat walks.




I produced my own version of a Vivienne westwood piece, i made a necklace out of safety pins and melted fabric over the top to create a punk look.







As i have mostly looked at the punk era i have decied to focus on this. I have looked at the fashion designer vivienne westwood as she looked at the punk era and created a fashion line based on punk. She used chains and saftey pins to create garments.


On this page i moved from blck to browns and yellows as i look at indie, and these are the colours which typically represent the indie culture. I used flower prints to represent patterns on indie clothing, i have also sketched my own thoughts of indie clothing.



This a sample i did to represent a punks hair style (the mohican) the sample shows punk in many ways from the hair style to the raggy clothing and the colours in which their fashion is based upon.









I have shown in this photo that i have under stood the way in which garments are produced to make them a statement as i have sketch my own dress and hat
using the images i have looked at in my research.






The picture below shows how i have looked at a fashion statement of striped trousers and produced my own sample of how i could produce a striped effect on a garment.
