Juxtaposition/ Structure and Shape: Geometric Fashion Research

Geometric Fashion

After deciding to work from a development of design five, I felt it was necessary to do some research into geometric fashion to see how this theme had been explored before. I found some extremely interesting shapes and I also noticed that most were also monochrome, like my design, to keep the focus on the shape and structure of the garments.

Irina Shaposhnikova - 'Crystallographics'

The most interesting pieces I came across were from Irina Shaposhnikova's 'Crystallographica' collection, of which she said; 'The collection is made up of hundreds of triangles and diamond shapes. The fabrics are soft, so to structure the silhouettes into staying stiff and prominent. I used plastic, depending on the fabric, the thickness of the plastic was different. I liked the effect of transparency and lightness combined with structure.'
