College Work, Always Knew You Would Come In Handy

In college we were set a brief called Counter. Counter was a high end magazine that we had to design a contents page and a guest designer page. The guest designer I chose was Issey Miyake. I studied his clothes and decided I could make an Issey inspired piece of clothing out of.... PAPER!

Above you can see the contents page...I made paper flower heads photographed them and used them within the piece. I also changed the colour of one to create a focal point.

This is the guest designer page...You can see where I have used paper as part of the design. 1. To create the 'Pleats Please' logo background   2. To make the dress on the Barbie doll in a Miyake inspired way   3. To create the circular stopper at the end of the 'clothes line' (used on the contents page)
