When things show up

I found this magazine while packing some shit today. It's an old school project from when I was studying tailoring. You might think it didn't have much to do with tailoring, and that is just what I thought too. But none the less a fun project. Inspired by a time period (in my case the fifties) we had to make a magazine of some kind, design a small collection also inspired by this certain time period, and sew one of the designs. 

These are some of the more interesting pages from the magazine.

I sewed the jacket I drawed, on the left page, dark grey with red lining. 

I'll post a picture in near future.

And of course a movie review - Cry Baby. Such, a recommendation from me.

Bruises

Copenhagen Culture Night takes place every year in October and my school are one of the contributers. Third semester creates dresses inspired by a certain theme. The project lasts 2 month and culminates with a fashionshow.

In 2009 the theme was the body and my class was the creators.

There are so many things to be inspired by from the body; cells, illnesses deformations... all of wich can seem gross but can be turned into something beautiful. On this site you can click on a name and see the inspiration and the result. http://tekstilformidler.ucc.dk/Hvadskerder/kulturnat/

My inspiration came from bruises and Egon Schiele's perception of the female body.
