Show: 2
Materials being used:
Tablecloth, bed sheet, book pages, recycled dress, and trash bags
Design inspiration:When I learned the theme for this
year’s fashion show was, Go Green Go Glam, I knew I wanted to make two garments
from mostly unconventional materials so, I could experience some of the
challenges that these materials would give. My inspiration came from the best
place anyone could go in moments of a material inspiration crisis, Pinterest.
Scrolling down the pages, I came across several that contained crafts made from
recycled books. I loved the texture and color of the pages, and I knew that I
wanted to use then in my designs.
The
inspiration for my second design, oddly enough, came from the expression, “She
would make a trash bag look good.” The phrase is talking about the girl and how
she could put on anything and still make it look good, even a trash bag.
However, I wanted to see if I could manipulate the bag in such a way that it
made the model wearing it look better. The texture, luster, and versatility of
the bag also added to my desire to create something from this kind of material.
Favorite part about
participating so far: My favorite part about participating so fas has been
seeing where I could go when there are no limitations to what you can use.
Also, I loved meeting all the other designers and seeing everyone create
something totally different.
Who are your models? Carly Schneider and Chelsey Wolf
