Working like Erwin Wurm

This work was inspired by a designer named Erwin wurm, who's garments have changed my view on fashion completely. Its asthough he stretches the entire fabric of the human body to its limits, without actually altering the body itself.

I tried doing his kind of work on myself and after looking at these photo's i can't help but laugh, overall i think the pictures turned out really good though, although next time i think i'll try doing this on a blank background.

 Although i like these outfits, i dont think i would design them myself, and if i did i would have made them more colourful.

I recogonise that the garments themselves are not supposed to be colourful, they are meant to be dull enough to amazing the viewer when they transform.

The top image of the bubble outfit is probably my favourite, as one of my designs has taken direct inspiration from it. the design itself is very simple, yet look incredibly complex to do. what are the bubbles made from? how were they made? are they solid?

 I think i am going to try and do some work similiar to this designer. Me and Megan and Chloe are going to decorate my hair like the picture shown above, we will probably try a few different ways to do it using things like glitter, glitter gel and hairspray

Lucy Mcrae and Bart Hess

I really liked this collaboration between Bart hess and Lucy Mcrae. This ties in perfectly with the kind of design work i want to do, it so outlandish and wild that you wouldnt ever expect to see someone wearing it in the street, Its the kind of thing that if you saw someone wearing it, you couldnt help but stop and stare, just too wonder who the person is wearing it and where they got it. By looking into this, im looking into the fine art/performance side of fashion, which also interests me alot, as it gives me a better chance to expand on my ideas and concepts of what i can do with the human body and how far i can stretch what goes on it.

 This last picture was a larger collab including Bart Hess, Lucy Mcrae, Nick knight and Alister Mackie.

Erwin Wurm's Kleiderskulpturen

I really liked these outfits, they seem to be very outlandish and wild just like my work. i think i will try to do some of this work at home will my own clothes. The designers made a very strong link between art and fashion when making these outfits. Nora von Waldstätten: "I highly appreciate Erwin Wurm and Elfie Semotan and I'm looking forward to our collaboration. It's exciting to deal with fashion in such an unconventional way."

Bearded lady designs

These are my designs for Tom Rakewells 2nd wife, the bearded lady. I wanted to indirectly illustrate her, so I took away her beard and gave her more obscure features, such as the wide hips, the cow hooves and horns, or the last one which is not as obscure. The last illustration is supposed to be a foreign woman, as foreign women would have been a marvel back in those days, I depicted this through the models jumper showing the rising sun flag.

Alcohol and Artwork

Today i was doing some designs on photoshop, trying to get a new look in my designs. Normally i hate photoshop simply because its hard to use and i struggle to get my ideas into the designs (nothing a nice bottle of baileys didnt fix).

I did some more designs for Tom and Sarah, modenizing them more, and turning Tom into some sort of maniacal clown.

i honestly do like these designs, as they seem to have come out better then i expected. i tried to give them similar colours because of the attatchment between them, i wanted them to almost be the same character, a set if you will.

I got a lot of inspiration from Gino Erana for the design of tom, as his works are very outlandish and wild like that one.
