A Liverpool based magazine'Seen'set up a competition coninciding with the annual Vogue Ball in Liverpool. We were given the task to create a dress soley from back copies of their magazine in the short timescale of just 48 hours. We were put in to groups of 8-10 students making 3 groups within the class.
We began by researching ideas and designing then going on to experimenting with the paper itself such as pleating, curling and folding and seeing what created the most interesting shapes aswell being a sturdy foundation to our dress. We realised pleating was very visually pleasing and gave a great eye impact so we then went with this idea. We created large fans which we wanted the model to cover her face with so she could not be 'seen' and then could reveal herself when beginning to walk the catwalk. We wanted the garment to be really over the top and exhubrant aswell as being quirky. So we then exaggereated the size of the fan on the top and made the skirt an unusual shape. To add extra effect we decided to make a head piece involving the fans and the 'seen' logo giving the finishing touch to the garment.
