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!!

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
Thanks for viewing
