Rock of ages

Rock of ages moodboard

Create two wearable garments inspired by the 'Rock of Ages'. The Garments are for a client and to be worn in a theatrical performance.

Mini silk skirt & garment.

This 10 weeks project helped me to understand the importance of research and mood boards. Researching into different styles and statement pieces, materials and colours gave me the inspiration to develop my own unique creations relating to the brief. Making garments for a theatre performance and seeing them being worn was a great achievement.

Highlights:

  • Research into 'Rock of Ages' fashion via film, media publications, and online.
  • Creation of mood board using images of various different outfits and fashion statements, as well swatches of appropriate material.
  • Model sketches and my own creation of outfits relating to the theme.
  • Techniques displayed: pockets, invisible zip insertion, overlaying, pleating, hand-sewn fabric, using a range of fabrics including denim, metal studs, and netting.
