theFashionSpot's project runway game

[Pastry]

EdanChrysler: Now that is a good use of colour! A wonderful blue. I loved your idea behind it: mixing cultures. The best thing about your design are the sleeves. Even when i tried doing my own assignment (i ran out of time =( ) i kept on fussing over the sleeves. Yours are amazing, hands down..

emma_leigh: such great proportions! reminescent of the fall 2004 balenciaga collection; a very tiny torso, and a huge balloon skirt. definitely pushes wearability while deifining some body shape.

dior_couture1245: what a gorgeous silhouette! such elegance...i can only imgine all the huge folds of fabric. i saw an off-white lanvin dress in a store with big kimono-like folds in the back. reminds me of your design.

Inaya: layering organza and tulle is always a very nice way of approaching volume! it would be cool, if the pieces of fabric were tattered..maybe the dress should be a-line, so it can go two ways: tent-like, or cinched in with a belt.

Hye_Park_Lover: Wow! You are not afraid to take risks, my friend! A very creative design, maybe it would benefit from one,or maixumum of two colours to focus solely on the shape..

muxu: Your pastry/ice cream inspired dress would look amazing if it were produced. Same suggestion as the one i gave to HPL, less colour would help to focus on the intricate details of your design.

gius: You actually made me realize how few short dresses push wearability and promote volume. Your design is very successful, in my opinion! It would be beautiful to see it made in a white-on-white jacquard.

perfect10: i was just passing by a local high-end department store, where the windows are displaying graduate work from a local fashion design program (muxu will know what i'm talking about). And there was a dress made from feathers..reminded me of your pheasant dress...very good work, i love the colour scheme.

after some thinking..(the assignment was to push wearability through volume/shape)..i decided to make Hye_Park_Lover the winner of this challenge...I think she truly pushed her creativity to the edge, and took a big risk! I like your risque design..and with some refinement it could become a museum piece!

Congratulations HPL!

Congrats, HPL!

But erm ... pastry ... do I get a review?

 

[Inaya]

Congrats Hye!!

I wouldn't have been able to pick! Really nice stuff from everyone, very creative ideas and well executed

 

[Pastry]

But erm ... pastry ... do I get a review?

holy crap... i apologize of course...i knew i forgot something. i loved the sleeves on your design. i'll edit my post right away.

 

[Hye Park Lover]

OK, topic for next week is...

Design an item of clothing that is modern and fashion forward that uses innovative, modern and perhaps even industrial materials that are otherwise rarely used in fashion.

for example, it could a cotton top with a coloured wire pattern on top or a dress with decorative coloured glass shapes along the hem (like in LV SS06) or everyday objects, like the McQueen dress that was made out of just razor blades

Have fun guys, the deadline is next sunday night

 

[gius]

interesting topic, hye park lover but what do you mean by industrial materials?

 

[rangerrick14]

Lets see this is sort of a hard challenge.

I'm thinking seram wrap and tin foil but I don't kknow if it would hold as a real garment.

 

[EdanChrysler]

rangerrick14: I love how you alternated the materials using tiers! The fact that there are almost-transparent layers in between the tin-foil layers are very very provocative - and very suggestively-placed too And no worries about whether it's a real garment or not - I'm sure someone would rather wear what you designed than an outfit made completely out of razor blades *ouch*

 

[Pastry]

awesome challenge! i know exactly what i'm going to do...

 

[Marvystone]

this challenge kinda reminds me Diana Eng's work from project runway 2

 

[Hye Park Lover]

interesting topic, hye park lover but what do you mean by industrial materials?

Sorry for not being clear, I meant materials like plastic, glass, metal, electronic chips, resistors, fibre optics, bendy light tubes, LCD screens (like Robert Cary-Williams has done in the past), CDs, anything that breaks the mould really For this week, I was trying to get everyone to think about other material possibilities other than fabric, so basically design an item of clothing using alternative materials Hope this helps

 

[Hye Park Lover]

Rangerrick14: great entry I love your use of opaque and translucent materials in tiers. Fantastic start to this week

 

[anastars]

I love the topic! Its a great idea and I can't wait
to start!

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

heres my late night attempt at designing

its a fifties inspired dress made from metal

a metal bodice that flicks out at the bottom with wheel spokes creating the shape it also has industrial style sacking under the spokes so one can keep their dignity.

 

[Inaya]

Love the spokes idea!



Here is mine and in advance I apologize for the really horrible phone pic, my real camera is broken and I have no scanner.


The dress is made from 2 layers of window screening, underneath is a clear and very thin bendy plastic sheet as the base of the dress. The dark and poofy border around the neck, shoulders and bottom is made from pulled-apart and glued-on Brillo pads. The belt and bracelet on her right hand are USB cords. the bracelet on her left arm is a spoon bent around. The purse is made from floppy disks glued together side by side, into a box shape and the strap is a car seatbelt

"closeup" drawing of USB belt since it's small in the pic
