Looking futher into silhouettes for my dress I began to look at the shapes in this Katrantzou collection (Autumn/Winter 13) and how the top half (which for mine is the lasercut skull detail) is very structured in shape leading into a more voluminous skirt that billows out of this top section. I like the idea of the skirt being shorter at the front than back and creating texture and volume within the fabric for both the front and back sections. Katrantzous collection look at getting the balance right between an interesting silhouette and an intricate pattern and I want to take this direction more into my experimentations on the mannequins as I have begun to create quite interesting shapes and ive definetely decided that the top half is going to be two big laser cut leopard print skulls which are sharp in structure creating an interesting silhouette in an almost jacket-esque aspect for the top half with the skirt coming out from underneath and also perhaps bringing a different lasercut print to the back of the bottom of the skirt. Here are some of my developed mannequin experiments, translating my initial drawings into patterns and then into fabric, although I didnt quite understand or enjoy this way of working to begin with i think it gives you alot more freedom and you can push your creativity when draping fabric and see the postioning on an accurate body form/representation alot more than when drawing. However drawing allows you to work more against the body shape but mannequins allows you to perhaps push this further as you get to work with how the fabric works and moves to the body.
