Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Millia Davenport Publication Award Experimental Fashion traces the proliferation of the grotesque and carnivalesque within contemporary fashion and the close relation between fashion and performance art, from Lady Gaga's raw meat dress to Leigh Bowery's performance style. The book examines the designers and performance artists at the turn of the twenty-first century whose work challenges established codes of what represents the fashionable body. These innovative people, the book argues, make their challenges through dynamic strategies of parody, humour and inversion. It explores the experimental work of modern designers such as Georgina Godley, Bernhard Willhelm, Rei Kawakubo and fashion designer, performance artist, and club figure Leigh Bowery. It also discusses the increased centrality of experimental fashion through the pop phenomenon, Lady Gaga.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion designers are presented with a range of methods and concepts for pattern cutting are presented, the main body of these methods, both traditional and contemporary, is predominately based on a theoretical approximation of the body that is derived from horizontal and vertical measurements of the body in an upright position: the tailoring matrix. As a consequence, there is a lack of interactive and dynamic qualities in methods connected to this paradigm of garment construction, from both expressional and functional perspectives. This work proposes and explores an alternative paradigm for pattern cutting that includes a new theoretical approximation of the body as well as a more kinetic method for garment construction that, unlike the prevalent theory and its related methods, takes as its point of origin the interaction between the anisotropic fabric and the biomechanical structure of the body. As such, the research conducted here is basic research, aiming to identify fundamental principles for garment construction. Based on some key principles found in the works of Geneviève Sevin-Doering and in pre-tailoring methods for constructing garments, the proposed theory for – and method of – garment construction was developed through concrete experiments by cutting and draping fabrics on live models. Instead of a static matrix of a non-moving body, the result is a kinetic construction theory of the body that is comprised of balance directions and key biomechanical points, along with an alternative draping method for dressmaking. This methodology challenges the fundamental relationship between dress, garment construction, and the body, working from the body outward, as opposed to the methods that are based on the prevalent paradigm of the tailoring matrix, which work from the outside toward the body. This alternative theory for understanding the body and the proposed method of working allows for diverse expressions and enhanced functional possibilities in dress.

Download or read book Sewing Techniques written by Jennifer Prendergast and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sewing techniques are sometimes overlooked in the design process but acquiring these skills can be transformational. The ability to turn a two-dimensional design into its three-dimensional realization comes from having mastered basic sewing techniques. Sewing Techniques simplifies the often complex techniques that lie behind this process by arming designers with the precise information and skills needed to undertake each task. Designers who develop a basic understanding of the processes involved in sample and garment construction often produce successful outcomes based on a more experimental and creative approach applied during the product development process. Developing a sample folio and being able to refer to samples and develop them according to each individual design project is a process that requires experimentation and creative thought underpinned by a basic understanding of sewing techniques. This book explores the essential equipment needed - from fabric types to diagrams identifying component parts of a sewing machine, to machine operation. Throughout each process, clear diagrams accompanied by explanatory description panels allow readers to achieve the best possible results, including how to troubleshoot problems that may be encountered before and during sewing. Each section concludes with a project, progressing from easy to challenging. Fabrics for each project give designers the opportunity to handle different fabric types and understand the complexities of sourcing and selecting. Mastering the basic principles covered in Sewing Techniques will enable both fashion students and the contemporary craftworker to develop their techniques with a view to becoming creative practice-based professionals.
Download or read book A Comparison of the Experimental and the Existing Elementary Clothing Construction Courses at Oregon State University in Terms of Student Background and Achievement in Factual Knowledge written by Anne Elaine Miller and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to compare the 5-hour experimental (CT 213X) and the two 3-hour existing (CT 210-CT 212) elementary clothing construction courses at Oregon State University in terms of the composition of students in each course, the student's background and the achievement of each group in knowledge of basic clothing construction terminology, techniques and methods. An attempt was also made to determine various opinions and attitudes held by each group toward their respective courses. From observations of the CT 213X, CT 210 and CT 212 courses and from examination of the objectives and printed syllabi for each course, a list of commonly taught basic clothing construction processes was drawn up. The list was used as an outline for constructing an objective paper-and-pencil pretest-retest. In order to obtain background information as well as various opinions and attitudes held by the students, two questionnaires were developed. These materials, as well as the pretest-retest, were submitted to a panel consisting of members of the clothing faculty and graduate students in clothing and textiles. Based on the panel's criticism, they were revised where necessary. Students enrolled in CT 213X, CT 210 and CT 212 during spring term, 1969, were used as the sample for this study. The total sample consisted of 106 students, with 35 in the CT 213X group, 46 in the CT 210 group and 25 in the CT 212 group. Not included in the sample were students who had been absent for either the pretest or retest, students in a section of CT 210 taught by a graduate assistant and students in CT 212 who had transferred from other colleges. The pretest and general information questionnaire were administered to each course group during the first week of classes, spring term, 1969. During the last laboratory period of the term, the retest and final questionnaire were given. The reliability coefficient of the pretest-retest, using the Kuder - Richardson formula (21), was computed to be .810. The pretest- retest was accepted as having content or curricular validity, as the makeup of the test closely followed each course outline. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that CT 210 is taken more often than is CT 213X by students from other schools in the university, upperclassmen and students who would like to learn to sew for their own personal use. Students who enroll in CT 213X generally have had more previous instruction in sewing and are more knowledgeable in basic clothing construction terminology, techniques and methods than are students in CT 210. However, students who have completed the one-term course, CT 213X, and those who have completed the two-term sequence, CT 210-CT 212, generally have an equal knowledge of basic clothing construction. It was recommended that CT 213X be given regular course status as a five-hour elementary clothing construction course, thereby listing it in the catalog as CT 213.

Download or read book Analysis of Factors Influencing Creativity Displayed Through Clothing Construction Projects written by Rebecca Anne Meier and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between introductory lessons on creativity and the creativity displayed in students' finished clothing projects. The sample consisted of 22 students in the experimental group and 26 students in the control group at the intermediate level in high school clothing construction. A measure was developed to evaluate the quantity of creative production evident in finished garments. The control and the experimental groups were each administered two tests of creative ability from the Sheridan Psychological Service, Inc. The experimental groups received lessons designed to give experiences in creative ideas applicable to clothing construction. Statistical analysis of the data included the coefficient of correlation used to study the relationship of the creative lessons to creative production exhibited in the finished garments; the regression coefficient was used to compare the pre and post tests on predictability of creativity in constructed garments. The study showed no statistical difference between lessons on creativity and the creative production in the constructed clothing items in both the experimental and control groups. (Visual evidence in the garments in one class indicated the lessons on creativity increased the creative production of some students.) No significant correlation was found between creative ability of the students and the creative production of the students' garments.
