impurity



As promised, here are the pictures of my garment.

The title for my concept was "Impurity".
Through my research I was exploring different interpretations of the word, both abstract and literal: traditional notions of virginity and purity as well as physical chemical impurities like smoke.

From there, I used photoshop to design my print, which was then printed onto fabric using a digital printer (literally like a huge scale ink printer for fabric - it was pretty awesome).

After a couple of scrawled designs, trial runs and mental preparations (those industrial overlockers are pretty darn scary), I started to make the dress.

As soon as it was finished, it was whisked away to the photo shoot to be worn by the gorgeous Nicola and shot by very talented Viva.

So, Ta-Daa, here you have it.

  1. These photographs are stunning. I love the model, the dress and the concept of it, I think the notion of impurity both figuratively and literally is just so cool. And I hope you've had a lot of fun with it x
