Customising/Design part 1

I decided to document myself customising clothing as it's something i do everyday, but never really think about the experience. I want to describe the process, inspiration, and my actions.

I used my A2 sketchbook to do so, fabric paints, a shirt, magazines and the net to get poetry, fonts and a few photos for research.





My materials

Inspiration for the GB theme. There was also a special fearne cotton feature, which i thought was pretty cool.

The original Zara shirt (upside down) which i cant be bothered to rotate, sorry! I chose it because it was plain, and had a tiny mark o nit which was irritating. I was actually going to dye it anther colour (probably navy blue) but i decided to be a bit more arty. I can still dye it later, and the fabric paint will show up on top of whichever colour i choose, do to the type of paint it is.



I got the poem from a website. I thought it was vague and arty, and made absolutely no sense which is exactly what i wanted.

below: the finished article!
