Upcycling: Creating a Fashion Collection

Upcycling: Creating a Fashion Collection

“We have reached the end of the course! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, that you learned a lot and that it inspired you to make your own designs. Remember that we always have to maintain order of work; That the initial concept is clear so that later, when we are creating the garments, we do not deviate much from the main idea that we have chosen. Now we are going to review the different steps to follow to develop the final project. I have designed a mini collection of three garments, of which I have made one with the upcylcling technique. Let's review the process I have followed for this: Decide the concept of your collection Get inspired by doing a mood board to show what your clothes will be like.

Experiment and define your clothes Go testing on the mannequin and make the first sketches. Create your collection Now is the time to create your garment. I have used various techniques; deconstruction to create image and volume, print to give color and concept to my collection, embroidery to add details and textures to generate different types of volume. Final result Show everyone the wonderful garment you have created! Even if you have my project as a reference, I would like you to make your own designs, let your creativity fly and make your project unique. I will love to see the steps you have followed, especially the mood board with which you have defined the concept of your collection and how your garment has turned out. As I have done, share in the forum the steps you have followed to make a garment and the final result. In any case, always work on the concept of your complete collection; I would like you to also share the sketches of the rest of the garments, even if you only develop one of them. The forum is a great place for everyone to share experiences and questions. Anyway, I ask for your patience, because I am involved in many projects, but I will try to spend as much time as possible on the forum to resolve any questions and queries that may arise and see your project. Thank you for participating in the course. See you soon! ”

“Final project Now we will talk about our final project. For the final project we designed a collection of three garments, of which one was with the "upcycling" technique. The first thing we have done is inspire ourselves, make a mood board with a specific idea and define our garments. With them we experiment on a mannequin and we create the first sketches.
