Moulage Project (research and designs)

This project has already passed and like I promised I am finally getting round to posting about this project, 'moulage'.

Moulage as we all know in fashion is a type of technique on forming drapery. By placing the fabric on to a stand and pinning the fabric in certain areas, creates and forms a silhouette.

This project allowed me to visualize the detail that a garment could have and picture my design ideas for this module.

For inspiration I looked at A.F Vandevorst, Fall 2012 and Gareth Pugh, Fall 2012.
                                     

                                     

These collections in particular played a big part in my designs.
The two collecitons are very different form one another, Pugh's being more harsh and Vandervorst being soft but yet dramatic. However the two do express their moulages well throughout their collections.

My designs as you can see do have some similarities to origami, some of my designs do seem harsher than the others, here are four to demonstrate. The fabric that I used was hard cotton in grey, displayed on a size 12 stand.

                                    

                                    



With my designs I realized that they seemed quite complex and required some more research on techniques, this lead to me looking at Viktor & Roplh S2015 RTW. Looking at this colleciton really helped me understand the looks and possible outcome of what the final outcome would appear to be. It also helped adjust to how this could be constructed.

Next post-
About my final garment/design and how i came about it.
