The Pattern Magic book arrived last week, and I took some time out this weekend to explore some ideas within it. I created these wonderful concertinaed semi-circle shapes, which I then pinned on the stand to experiment with how they would look on the body.
At the moment they are very 'avante-garde' - I still need to play around and figure out how I could translate these ideas into wearable forms. I'm not even really sure I want to, as they look so beautiful as they are, but it is definitely worth it if I want to create a sell-able garment which incorporates these aquatic forms.
What do you think? I'm thinking maybe on a smaller scale, in some kind of print. I really like they way they bend around the waist and hips, so perhaps they would work on a skirt, or some kind of body-con dress.
