Static Show.

 

 

This is the presentation and set up for the Private Static Show. As a collection I find the background too much but I think that my garment looks really interesting and unique, I really like the jacket and the little bit of texture that makes my garment slightly more interesting.

The Tears Series shoe collection.

I really like the outcome of the shoe collection. I made them quite a deep indigo to reflect the workers and they work directly in the polluted water. Because they are a lot darker than the dye on my garments I needed to add some ecru to link the garments nicely. This also reflects my inspiration of the traditional Chinese shoes which are simple and dainty that it why I though that the denim panel will emphasize the modern and minimal state against the messy dyed indigo.

Shoes Design.

So far, my shoes which are for the womenswear, menswear and childrenswear outfits have been dyed with my natural indigo dye. I wanted it to be a deep indigo colour to reflect the Xintang workers who dye jeans and underwear in the unsafe work environment. 

This photo shoes the texture and lighter shades of indigo that have been purposely done to give more depth visually. 

I do look what I have done so far i think it might have to put it against my outfit to see whether it flows nicely and doesn't look mis-placed. 

They do look slightly bare but it is the concept I have gone for, I may try to add denim thread underneath the shoes to give more of a water effect and to add that ecru colour- to make them work well as a whole outfit. 

I will need to find more inspiration.
