When it comes to down to "what inspires me" I am a big fan of fashion and more specifically Japanese street fashion! I scour the pages of japanesestreets.com for inspiration towards my work and my wardrobe. No one is as fearless with fashion as the Japanese, at least in my opinion. I saw one recently that totally relates to our first lessons of modular relief. Although we've moved on from this, I thought you guys would enjoy this as well! I'm even adding a couple that look like they included some repurposed materials. They're all from the Bunka Graduation Fashion Show in Shibuya Tokyo.
The first three photos show the use of polyhedral forms, just like I used in my project. It was so interesting to see it used in fashion!
The rest show the use of repurposed materials, unfortunately there wasn't info on what they used.
WOW! I love these...you are right they are fearless.. well why don't you study Japanese.. and than go to Japan to study Fashion Design? You should go see the world, and make a difference..BE FEARLESS!
ReplyDeleteThese designs caught my eye for a few reasons, but the main one being the bright colors and materials. They remind me of a lighter, youthful take on Alexander McQueen's work with the use of intricate shoes, elaborate head coverings, the ability to almost convey a story, and how the materials cover the space of not only the figure but extend to the negative space surrounding it. Although McQueen's work is a lot more macabre, gothic, and mysterious, the structure of the costumes are similar.
