Initial concepts To Further Develop Within Designs

Initial Designs

The Motion Designs

The above composition explores my earliest designs creating movement through a garments structure. This is produced through a combination of metal rings, this allows motion to be portrayed through the garment. I then developed this concept by adding fabric into my designs. The fabric I have selected would be nude chiffon, allowing maximum motion to the garment making it extra sensitive to motions. 

The Sensitive Designs

The two design sheets above demonstrate the concept of applying sensitive pads to garments, these sensitive pads will pick up the bodies movement and to show this it will send signals to a speaker, which will play an audio reading of specific movements which are captured. I have also explored my designs relating to all my previous research within dance wear, including Body- Con, such as leotards,crop-tops and play-suits.  All these inspiration allow me to develop my main theme shown through-out my project, which explores the human body while in motion.

Capturing the Movement through Negative Spaces

The Fourth design sheet that I have produced has been inspired by my previous research into negative space and creating a motion developed from a simple  movement. This concept inspired me to explore and develop my designs using nude(natural and contemporary) chiffon which is gathered within the main seams of the garment. This allows maximum fabric to overhang on the body. meaning the fabric will sense any simple body movements. Therefore the fabric can create a motion through the whole body by these innovative garments.

Natural and Organic

 Throughout my research I have explored the natural shape of the body and how it is altered through-out the perception of the body moving or expressing itself when dancing. Therefore I dedicated my research into the female form, which demonstrates this images dramatically. The Torso is a natural image that seem to be a constant image that was exaggerated within dance therefore this image of either printing, shaping or developing the bodies Torso is something I will further develop within my future designs.
