Classic With A Twist...

Modern Masters

Adele Bloch-Bauer I

Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism—nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil.

This is my chosen art masterpiece for my current project modern masterpieces. I Hope to ecreate this work by Gustav Klimt by modernising it yet keeping the certain mood and certain elements of the art piece.

Behind The Lens...

Here are some Photo-shoot images of my staircase inspired dress which I made for my shape and structure project.

A Blast From The Past

One of my ealier projects was Organic Structures and this brief required lots of still life and observational drawings, alongside texile sample pieces. I have uploaded some of my work from this project as shown below.

My still life as shown above was produced by an observational drawing from the cross-section of a pumpkin fruit which I then developed into a textile sample.

This textile piece I created using the techniques of couching, fabric manipulation and layering as you can see in the above image.

The drawing materials I used to produce these still life's consisted of: water colour paints, oil pastels, chalk pastels and pencil crayons as you can see in the above images.

                                     Final Major Project

During my first year of fashion I went on a trip to London and watched the spectacular westend musical show Wicked and I must say I did find the show most spectacular and truly wicked. Watching this fabulous musical inspired me for chosing my theme and brief for my FMP which I titled "Wicked". Due to the most stunning and creative costumes used in the show I wanted to create my final piece based around the shows costumes and so I wanted to inject the elements of texture, shape and tones of colour.

This was My FMP Wicked costume modeled by Julia Court (college co student)
