Second Set of Flat Drawings

These are my second set of flat drawings with alterations to the jeans and jacket. I wanted to turn them into a coordinating set, so I made similar changes and have chosen the same fabric for them, as shown below. They both have zip detailing, shortened sleeves and leg lengths and black linings.





I chose the fabric shown below (Jardin Pixel Floral) because it's still an oversized floral pattern like the original jacket's fabric, but the pixelation gives the jacket a modern edge. I decided to coordinate the jacket and jeans because brightly patterned co-ords seem to be a major trend both on the catwalk and high street.

Alternate Fabric and Design Sketches

Here are a few examples of alternate fabric and design sketches that I have been working on. I like the idea of turning the jacket and jeans into a matching set using the same fabric and adding similar alterations to each garment.

Deconstruction Of The Jeans and The Jacket

I decided to create two videos showcasing the deconstruction of the jeans and the jacket. They show the garments laid out in pieces after being completely taken apart. I found it so interesting seeing how many pieces go into each garment after laying them out over the table. Considering each garment was only small originally, each one almost covered a four metre table. You can see as well all the 'hidden' parts that went into each garment, for example the lining of the pockets and interfacing around the edges of the jacket.

The Jacket

The jacket I have chosen is a lined 53% Cotton 47% Polyester blazer-style jacket from online retailer ASOS. It originally retailed for £55.00 but I bought it in the sale for £12.00. Matching trousers were available. It features notched lapels, an asymmetric press stud closure, a zip pocket detail and a floral jacquard design. It has a regular fit and is quite structured thanks to the stiff material. It is recommended to dry clean only.
