Final Photograph

This is my final photo that i chosen from all the others from my photoshoot. I chose this one because its a simple pose which makes the lining and the jacket stand out, you can see the patch pocket on the side and you can also see that it has a standard fly front. The way the body is posed you can see that its a straight cut style.

Photoshoot

Within my photo shoot these are photos that I have took on the stand and  as well as being on a model to, I have gone for a different range of poses and angels to see what the best angel worked best for my jacket and show the shape and detail of it the best in the photography. from different ages as front, side, worms eye view, 3/4 quarter profile shot and having the garment open, closed and even showing the lining in the photo so it gives you more attention to look at in the photo and makes the whole thing more interesting to look at.

Process of making final garment

The process of making my final garment is being shown in two concept pages and in wrighting under neath aswell.

Concept Pages

The concept pages are developed from the research I have been looking into such as the company im designing for Aquascutum and the trends of jackets such has fitted and oversized blazers for women, also looking in to the details that I want to be using in my final piece such as the collars and pockets, doing this has helped me to develop and design my final garment.

Showing theme with in garment

My theme i chosen was missing and linking this together with my final garment i thought of making the buttons at the front of the jacket invisable to the eye, so to do this i had to make a jacket with a standard fly front which has plackets inside made from lining, one is attached to the facing and the other to the inside of the jacket, this way they buttons will go through the facing placket to be done up and the other placket will hide away the buttons from being seen on top of the jacket!

Also i took negative space into missing for this i wanted to create a really long neckline so this will be seen as the negative space also the lining will be two different colours showing a strong contrast.

Thoughts

The designers that inspired me was Paul smith and Stella mccartney because the way they bring out all the details in the oversized jackets and the way they make it hang on the womens body. They create a masculine shape jacket and make it work better on a womens body than it does a mans and it inspired me to create my jacket using the style of oversized.

Trends

Looking at trends is a main part i have to look into so i know what the new colour trend is coming a out and the shapes in the garment so i can arrange my garment i am designing within the new trend that will be coming out in the next season, for this trend it was oversized jackets and fitted jackets for women but looking at the best fit to make the women's body  in the right portion as for example having long length in skirts makes your legs appear longer than what they are. A colour trend that will be coming out is the colour burnt orange which will be wearing with suits mix and matching using this colour in shirts and even dresses to making it more interesting to look at and eye catching.

Reseach

For my research I was looking at fashion designers which have design suits and are designing new suits for the summer and spring collection this year, looking at their work really helps me understand the different jacket styles and colours and what works and what doesn't and getting my inspiration from my research helped me to develop and develop ideas and come up with the best outcome.
