Folk Project - final design
I finally handed in my folk project on Monday and I have to say I was so ecstatic about the outcome. At first I’d struggled with the concept of Eastern European Folk Costum
es but after our trip to London I decided to take my design in a completely abstract direction. I used the detailing I loved as the main aspect of my shirt and decided that making exaggerated sleeves, made solely from ribbon and detailing would be more on my wavelength. I started to design huge puffy sleeves out of ribbon, but after I couldn’t find any strong inspiration I moved into a new area.
As I’d felt trapped by the narrow criteria I started looking to pictures of cages and prisons as inspiration and decided that I would create round orbs of ribbon, which would form the basis of my sleeve. As I began to design the orbs I fell in love with them and my whole outfit just took shape.
I paired the shirt, which I’d cropped short, with a simple pair of black short shorts and bare feet so not to distract from the sleeves, which I wanted to be my main focus. In the end I think my design looked amazing and I’m just really glad I don’t have to actually make it!
