Can there be an end?
Excursion is what I currently have running through my mind… to take daily trips and explore the unknown and unfamiliar world of creativity.
Now that I have a mini grasp of draping with the manipulated fabric, I think it’s time to tackle the group stretch structure.
Below are several drapes i did with the new manipulated fabric.
From comparing the effects the stockinette and tights achieved, I think the tights were more successful in achieving the elegant image; however, the shapes created in stockinette are more prominent with very strong imitations of the 3D structure it was moulded from. I really like elements of both … could there be a replacement fabric? Something fragile, yet could hold the 3D yet?
Similar to the 'tights drape' in previous post, there are just endless possibilites and i could not even start to imagine a shape/ silhouette like this if i were to pattern cut it. The shape created is just so abstract that paper sketches can't even capture its true movements and energy,
I love the fact that something as simple as this can look so technical and so cleverly executed -all it is - is just adhesive, cardboard and a few pins.
The shapes created are just so exciting and inspiring. Even a slight pinch or tuck could generate a completely different form. Each drape is just so unique in its own right that i dont think i can even replicate it even if i put my whole heart and soul in it. I think this is the true beauty if this Creative Technique.
Draping Inside out. Though the 3D shapes are no longer displayed, i find the reverse of the fabric too very interesting, especially when the area of the 'ripped' card is unpredictable. Taking this idea, could the fabric being manipulated carry a print or another layer which can be ripped off leaving a mark on it?
As you can see, there are so many ways which this stretched fabric can be draped, i think i can go on and on untill the world ends.
Fashion Collections always consist of garments carrying the same story, carrying the same inspiration - but what if each display piece was made out of exactly the same 'garment' or fabric. In this case - i.e making a collection of 10 pieces with exactly the same 3D structure and fabric... how exciting would that be !!
