T-Shirt Design

Below is my first finished t-shirt design. It is not perfect and there is definitely room for improvement, but I am generally very happy with it. Ideas are based on geometry, blocks of colors and art-deco design. Initial ideas began when I was bored of continually seeing amazing graphic t-shirts made through simple printing techniques. It is not often that I come across different formats of implementing designs onto t-shirts. As a result I brought a sewing machine and have had a few 1-2-1 lessons on the basics of sewing and have then just experimented from there. I have many more ideas and will be making them soon.

The triangle in the middle with the map print on it, is a Timeless Treasure Fabric print, I found it in a fabric store and was instantly attracted to it.

Feedback would be appreciated.

Fashion, architecture and the body

LucyandBart is a collaboration between two artists who cross the boundaries of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. Sharing a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. I am fascinated by their work and their use of fairly basic materials and prosthetics in creating alien forms that morph onto and over the human figures. Invasion over human skin and the evolution of amazing new forms and structures which challenge both fashion, architecture and the human form.

Cross-over contexts

Combining architecture, textile and fashion design in producing origami hats from 'House Of Architects Millinery....little seems to be known about the designers, but I love these designs and hopefully there will be lots of exciting products in the future from them.

"Geometry existed before the creation" - Plato

I recently discovered these costume style fashion pieces by Amila Hrustic who graduated from Product Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo.

The geometric forms and sci-fi design push the boundaries of fashion and accessories. The geometric forms relate to natural forms in micro scales that form complex organisms and structures. When these are magnified the forms and orientations of each individual structure along with the surface patterns form unusual and exciting design pieces beyond the norm.

Amila Hrustic explains 'The title of this diploma project is "Plato's Collection" and the main inspiration for the entire collection is located in Platonic solids. The collection consists of five unique dresses handcrafted from a combination of textiles and paper.'
