The Mess In Me.

i've got something to wear finally!

2009-03-02T14:23:00.000-08:00

here are some pictures of Orly in my outfit:

and yeah, the presentation went even better than i could ever imagine!

a few words i wanted to say...

2009-02-10T19:43:00.000-08:00

it's hard to believe but today is the day.
looking back at the whole process of creating the wardrobe everything becomes clear to me and i want it to be clear for anybody who looks at it.
when it only started i thought of the things i would really like to wear, about the style and what actually brings me to it and inspires me .i wanted my wardrobe to be a little bit elegant, but not too feminine, with an accent on comfort and sometimes look more streety. i've posted the visual material i thought of and found that some of the images inspire me to create a pattern, some as prints and some lead me to choose the fabrics. it was different from outfit to outfit but everything together is a result of the things that catch my eye and mind.

i hope everything is going to go well today and i wish good luck to all those who, hopefully, will have something to wear from now on.

the second fitting

2009-02-05T09:24:00.000-08:00

the part with the buttons has to be thiner...

just wondering, which one looks better? the higher one, on the left, or the lower, on the right?

yeah...the lower.

we also decided to change the cut lines on the back of the pants. but i'll be able to show it only on the final ones.

work in progress

2009-02-05T09:01:00.000-08:00

for the next fitting i decided to make the shirt and the jacket out of the real materials.so here are some pics:

these are only the front parts...

the rib of the jacket turned out to be a real catastrophe! i just couldn't find the right one and if i did - it's color would be awfull! i tried to die some of them and it didn't help...and then i decided to make a print on one of them! and i really liked it!

i had to die the shirt fabric too. thankfully it wasn't such a problem because it's cotton.afterwards i sprinkled on it with dark violet color and of course the sprinkles were everywhere....table, floor, walls....and the my blusher brush was ruined.

and i really liked my "palette", i just had to post it here too.

the first fitting

2009-01-29T08:46:00.000-08:00

everything i made was huge on her!!! with the help of my teachers and a lot's of needles we marked the places i had to take in and make everything one more time for the next fitting.

meet Orly

2009-01-20T08:30:00.000-08:00

Orly is a textile design student in shenkar. people say we look alike and ask if we are sisters, so i decided to ask her to do me a favor and be my model for this project and...she said yes!!!

final collection

2009-01-05T19:33:00.000-08:00

after the presentation we decided that the wardrobe would have 5 outfits, not 7.
and after a few changes here they are:

this one is The Outfit that will be made for the final presentation:

fabrics I actually use in the collection

2008-12-27T20:52:00.000-08:00

my new wardrobe illustrated

2008-12-27T00:58:00.000-08:00

this is what i'm going to show on sunday's presentation in shenkar...

some more sketches

2008-12-25T08:17:00.000-08:00

three new outfits that i've made mixing and changing the old three that were not so good...

sketches

2008-12-23T14:30:00.000-08:00

here are some very rough and far from being final sketches of the outfits i would like to wear :)

fabrics

2008-12-20T00:50:00.001-08:00

i've been looking through my posts, the colors and the moods they set....
then i started to die the materials i've bought for the collections...
i made some prints of the "tenderness" images also...
and these are what i've got in the end:

light cotton fabrics

fine to more dense knitted fabrics

single-coloured and with textures

transparent chiffons
single-coloured and printed

woollen fabrics of different density

some more tenderness

2008-12-19T08:47:00.000-08:00

this week i got to know this master of photography - Karl Blossfeldt , who lived in 1865-1932.
He mostly studied nature and believed that "the plant must be valued as a totally artistic and architectural structure". Here are some of his works, which i find very inspiring.

my future collection silhouettes

2008-12-09T20:31:00.000-08:00

some kind of a colour palette

2008-12-08T19:11:00.000-08:00

mix and match

2008-12-02T23:06:00.000-08:00

all of the streams i've shown you in the previous posts will find their expression in collection items....i want to mix them all...in some kind of an order.

tenderness

2008-12-02T23:02:00.000-08:00

and of course i will try a little tenderness :)

sketching

2008-12-02T22:48:00.000-08:00

i just love all the rough sketches that sometimes are made without much meaning....

colours

2008-12-02T22:39:00.000-08:00

i think i'm a fan of a monochrome....but still...some bright colours would only be good:

geometry

2008-12-02T22:28:00.000-08:00

the next one would be some kind of geometry that might be seen around. wether it is circles, angles, or just straight lines:

inspiration

2008-12-02T22:09:00.000-08:00

as i have said before - i am a messy person...
and it would be pretty impossible to find a single idea that will lead me to the final collection...
so i decided to devide it into several streams that inspire me when it comes to things i would like to wear.....
here comes the first:
men's tailoring. which makes a woman look masculine but even more feminine and adds a bit of mistery...

Pj Harvey

2008-11-24T16:05:00.000-08:00

i just love the way she looks!

strict, exquisite and beautiful...

clouds in the sky

2008-11-24T00:53:00.000-08:00

when i was a little girl i dreamt to be an artist who only paints skies and clouds...but i never really tried...not even once. some say not every dream should be fulfilled.

Coldplay - For You

2008-11-23T13:43:00.000-08:00

2008-11-22T02:22:00.000-08:00

a moment

2008-11-16T12:12:00.000-08:00

time is a weird thing...how can u describe or understand it? can u feel it?

these are Robert Doisneau pictures, shot in 1950.

this one is of my parents, taken the day after they got married in 1976.

these pictures make me think of fleetingness of every moment and existence in general.

2008-10-30T14:51:00.000-07:00

so...
here's the first post.
lot's of things on my mind, you'll see it all here.
