The Loose Dandies - Inspired by "In Dahomey" musical

Soooo.. after the deadly Sweeny Todd project was done, I had to make another portfolio and solve other 2 problems, which were tall, narrow/wide shoulder, and narrow/wide hips.

The first thing that I did for finding the inspiration was looking at Victoria and Albert Museum website and I found out something about History of Black Dance: The Origins of the Black Dance (not being racist, but that's the title) and it caught my eyes. After reading it, I fell in love with "In Dahomey" (1920's musical)

Hopefully, you will like this collection :D

Inspiration: In Dahomey musical

Client: 17 - 22 Year old woman, living in Singapore, with Androgynous style

Subject: Design Research

Result: at least I pass

Additional notes: can't be copied, my lecturer saw these already, from the beginning 'till the end

 

Project Workshop final project: Half Albino Peacock Dress

So I have to research and design an evening wear for my last project in Project Workshop. This is the deadliest and the most challenging project of all time during my time in Raffles. 

Inspiration: Half Albino Peacock

Client: 22-26 years old woman, who have the courage to show their sex appeal

Look: Feminine and Sexy

I have to say this project is quite challenging, even though the inspiration itself wasn't so hard when we have to design an evening wear. Weeelllllllll.. my senior did an evening wear inspired by peacock also (but not half albino peacock), so my lecturer expect me to do something different. So, I came to this! Hopefully you guys going to like this :)

Androgynous Revenge - Inspired by Sweeney Todd

"Never Forget, Never Forgive"

                                                           Sweeney Todd

My very first Design Research project was to design casual wear 10 looks for 2 problems. One is short, wide hips and narrow shoulder; the other is the contrary. The theme selection came from my mind of my most favorite artist, Tim Burton, after searching about him deeper, I found one of his creation (he was also inspired by a musical) Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber. Luckily, I've watched this movie once with my sister, and I fell in love with this movie directly.

So the essence is androgynous, since the leading role in the movie itself was a man (Sweeney Todd) and the hardest part of this project was the thinking development. Sweeney was a very nice man on the outside, but not the same as what it is on the inside. So my plan was hidden pockets and buttons everywhere.

Hahahahahahah.. I finished this at 5.30 AM (no sleep) and submitted this at 9 AM = my new record!! :D

Hopefully you will like this collection

Street Warrior (A Collection Inspired by Minamoto no Yoshitsune)

This was my first project workshop project for casual wear. It wasn't easy because I have to make a portfolio consist of 5 looks with workshop drawing for each look and 3 garments (vest, blouse, and pants) within a week!!

sooo, here you go!!

Inspiration: Minamoto no Yoshitsune

Main fabric: DENIM!!

Client: 17-22 years old women, boyish ones (especially b-girl or street style performer)

Look: Boyish

So..... since this is my first project on Project workshop, everything wasn't neat, in terms of portfolio and garments, but I manage to pass though. :P

My lecturer told me to make the 2nd look, which was quite deadly, especially the red parts at the pants (I had to attach the leather one by one) =.=a

Hope you guys like it. :D

DON'T MISS IT GUYS! :)

weeeelllllllllllllll.. not only that, but I also help them to design and sew 2 red vintage casual dresses for the main female character :D 

I have to admit, designing for a musical drama is not easy because you need to see the script, what the dress is suitable with, how about the other casts, etc etc, but also behind all of the story (in this situation, yes it has :D )

What they require were red and modern-vintage!! After designing, redesign, sewing, and stuffs.. it all came down into.. :D

see it live on the "show day" :D

"DON'T MISS IT GUYS! :)"

Yes people, DON'T MISS IT!! :D
