WEEK 7 25/10/11 Garment Deconstruction

This project provides experience of the design process, through the improvised restructuring of a more complex 'found' garment- a tailored jacket. During this process, we will asked to challange our own familiar assumptions about this garment, concering its identity, context and style what is meant by 'inside and outside', 'back and front', top and bottom.


We began by investigating uncut jacket. We separated lining from the jacket and we improvised with the lining by draping it on the stand.





Then we investigated the structure of the complete, uncut jacket- focusing on every aspect: layers, outer fabric, wadding, lapels, shoulder pads, stitching, seams, buttons, pockets etc.
We experimented with a sustained series of modifications through improvisation working on the stand.









Once resolved I I clarified my design solution and recorded my work in the sketchbook.
