my fashion illustrations

these are some of my illustrations for my portfolio i was using different media to create these in the first one i used watercolour and pen i thought this looked successful. Then for the next illustration i experimented with collaging with the real fabrics used for the garment. Then lastly i used manga makers for the last illustration. I like manga makers because they stay wet for longer and you can blend them, also they don't make it look to streaky like other brand marker.

so what do you think? 

passed my foundation!

yay i passed my foundation year so i could progress on to my first year of Fashion BA here are some pages from my skech book if you would like to see it.

if you haven't already guessed my project was about flowers and this was the research i did for the flowers, i explored colour, emotion, shape, form, life and death of a flower and based my final garment on this.

my exhibition piece i preseved dead flowers and attached them to the top

rose and butterfly make up & my final fashion project

so this is a make up look that i created so that i could wear it during my final fashion piece shoot. this was a one woman show, makeup artist, photographer, model and designer so i had an eventful day all the final pieces are due next week monday so i have today and the weekend to finish everything ive done my sketch books i just need to fill in all the missing piece and the i'll be free! (we'll almost free i start my next major fashion project the day i hand this in so....) any way i was ment to find someone to model my dress so i could take photos for my portfolio but sadly no one was available :( because everyone was doing there own deadlines. so i knew time was running quite short eek! i decided to do a two in one kill two birds with one stone i like making videos everyday but because im doing my final project that was becoming hard for me but i combined a makeup video with the presentation of the dress because i can do a video and do my work at the same time! so that's why i came up with this wacky look! http://www.youtube.com/user/chantellefashion

so here are the photos of the final dress to be truthful im not entirely happy with the final piece i had to change my design because i didn't have enougth time to make it so it turned out like this. but its done now so i'll just have to hand it in because i don't have enougth time. hopefully in my next major project i'll do exactly what i want because i'll have more time and i'll be only working on one project at i time unlike this project i was  working on 4 projects at once.

these are some photographs i took at the begining of my project and i took design inspirstion frome this i based my design on the colour.

fabric sample left was acrylic paint on fabric and embroidered on top of and this was the my original design and how i wanted the dress to be. so you can see how my actual final dress differs alot.

here are a couple more of my favourite pages in the sketchbook.
