I have final arrived at the design I’m hoping. Therefore, what’s left was to clean up the patterns for the final garments to make and submit. The placket I first toiled with didn’t have enough length to cover the raw edges. So I just added extra length. Below is the first two ...
This is the first time I used CLO3D program. I always knew about it but never had the chance to try it out. and since there were only 30 days of trial I can use, I timed it so I can use it for this project. That is if the program is straight forward enough. It took a bit of tutorials before I got ...
The first mentoring session, I knew I needed to ask about the lineup and improve it a little bit. I took Sue’s suggestion to lengthen the dress and make it a maxi length to create drama. Who knew adding a few more centimeters can change the look of a garment. (I always forget this sort of ...
The promotional part is a collaborative work with my dear friend Regine Panlilio, who’s been on board with this project since day one. Actually, since second year. I’ve let her have free reign in the media part of the project, visualize it her way, but keeping in line with the ...
Oh the weaving process. Probably the most overwhelming task out of any of my work. Suddenly, I had to unlearn the past few years to make this garment happen. It’s not that I don’t need planning. It’s just a different planning than pattern making. Maths were involved, especially ...
While this may seem like the simplest design, this design perhaps was the one that had so many iterations of the pattern. From using various blocks to changing the back designs to adding new features. There wasn’t any specificity in this design except for three: it’s cropped, it has a terno sleeve ...
One of the end results of this project is a fashion film, regardless if I show at a catwalk or an exhibit. This is in collaboration with my film artist friend, Regine Panlilio. Most of my latest works and blogs are in collaboration with her and it’s just fitting that I finish my degree with ...
The weaving technique, just like any weaving techniques, will need a loom. Thankfully, the loom required for this project won’t be too intensive and only needs a few supplies. For a sample frame, I used a simple picture frame bought at a thrift shop and nails. But perhaps, I will have to make ...
This is the part of the design process where I reminded myself if the design principles and elements. I looked at silhouette, shape and space mostly for this part as it what best show the triangular shape. It provided winning ideas that represent the collection I believe.
