Week 8: Evaluation
Editing my Moodboard
(Task 2:)Colour and Fabric Board Progression
From the fabric that I have selected... I realise that I might have selected too many fabrics of similar texture. So to verify and narrow down my fabric choices, I went to the store to do some research:
Currently, I could not find the silk crepe that I had originally intended, but the closest I found (to what I wanted) is the swiss crepe. Although I am still quite confuse about crepe fabrics, but the Swiss crepe has a similar texture and drape as the Indian voile, but with less sheer.
(NEW!) I also found this chiffon fabric which I thought would go well with my designs. Chiffon fabrics I know usually have a silky texture, but besides being super lightweight, this one has a slight rough texture, which was exactly what I wanted.
I noticed that the more common fabrics were all synthetic, made of 100% Polyester.
Random Thoughts
After receiving comments on my moodboard, I realise that it does not seem like a fashion moodboard..So, I was advised to add in runway/fashion pictures.
The reason I did not add fashion pictures before, was because I could not find any suitable ones.
However, when I tried searching for the pictures again, I realise that there was some runway pictures I could have used, which gave me some inspiration for my designs as well.
Furthermore, since I had already started on my fabric board, I noticed similar fabrics in the pictures too! This also gave me more idea on what I could do with the fabric, and what kind of effect I could achieve with my current designs and current fabric.

(Task 2:)Colour and Fabric Board Progression
From the fabric that I have selected... I realise that I might have selected too many fabrics of similar texture. So to verify and narrow down my fabric choices, I went to the store to do some research:
(Dance) Organza VS (Romance) Organdie
I was very skeptical about whether to use organdy or organza, (or if I should just use both) because I was not sure of their difference. However, after feeling the fabric, I realise organdy is a little bit stiffer than organza, so I might just go with organdy because I wanted a bit of contrast of textures between the layers of fabrics.
Indian Voile
Most of the voile I had seen were sheer and drapey, and in particular the Indian voile had this unqiue sheer texture and it drapes really well, which I felt really suited my some parts of my designs.

Random Thoughts
Nationalparks Austria Fashion Show 2016
With the title 'Time and Fallen Leaves' and theme of nature and nostalgia in mind, I thought it would be really cool to incorporate dance in a runway, so as to further and better instil feelings of nostalgia and old memories.
It was always a vision I had: to see fashion being incorporated into dance, and vice versa
