...Piranah...

For my final major project in year one i decided to chose the theme of the Amazon rainforest. So, after researching into the Amazon rainforest and the animals that habitat the Amazon, I choose to base my garment on the Piranah fish as, when I was looking through photographs on the internet of the piranah fish I admire the colours and textures on the fish.

This is me modeling the Piranha inspired garment. 

....Made from old bra pads....

........Recycle.......

This is one of my mood boards for this project.

For the recycle project in year 1 of fashion and clothing, I designed and made a garment that's inspired by Alice in wonderland. I made this garment from crisp bags , scraps of material, bin bags , playing cards, newspaper and paper mache.

Alice: "If i had a world of my own everything would be nonsence"

My main inspirations in this project were Salvador Dali and the story of Alice in wonderland.

Photograph of Salvador Dali. The clock work above is one of Salvador Dali's pieces which was one of my inspirations to my work and links in well with Alice in Wonderland obviously becasue its got clocks on the piece just like the white rabbits watch in the Alice in wonderland story. Also, because its surealistic like how Alice is in her own wonderland.

This photograph on the left above is my research page on Salvador Dali taken from my sketchbook.

....A little bit about me....

I'm Samantha Marie Reeve and im currently a student at Warrington Collegiate in my second year of the Fashion and Clothing national diploma course. In my first year, the year of 2009, I worked through quite a few projects these will be explained in blogs after this. As, I only just created a blog in my second year, Septmber 2010 I will have to go back over the projects and add them to my blog so that I can show what I have achieved in my first year of fashion and clothing. There are many influences to my work such as: Alexander Mcqueen, Salvador Dali and there are more which I will mention throughout my blogs.
