This is a collection of recycled Levi's jeans joined together with nothing more than safety pins, the collection entitled 'Persona' is a collaboration between Jeffrey Wang and Levi's. Love it!

'Play With Shapes'
MODU GRAM
Definately worth checking out! - http://liannasheppard.blogspot.com/
Love these collections! The 'play with shapes' collection is possibly my favourite, the combination of draped fabrics against the harsher, sharp lines of the shoulders compiment each other really well, the intelligent splashed of colour show this off to it best.
Both collections i feel some up the essence of the workshops we have been taking part in, i would my final garment to have this kind of feel.

Spring/Summer 11 Haute Couture Collection
Using a mix of classic, luxurious fabrics with original pattern cuts is why i love this collection, taking a classic piece and giving it an innovative twist.
Tine De Ruysser
This is part of Belgian designers Phd collection which focuses on fusing metal and origami to produce wearable pieces. Tine De Ruysser who studied at the Royal College of Art made this cape along with other wearable pieces using copper and polyester combined in a geometric folding pattern
Now that our structure had finally dried, we began by forcibly cutting it from the chairs, trying to keep its hardened shape as much as possible. The aim of putting it onto the stand was more about letting the sculpture do the work for us and not over working it.
Recent Graduate of Westminster - I thought this depicted what we were trying to create in the stand workshop.
The above 4 ideas reminded me of bones and bone structures as well as the human body, this was the inspiration for this sketchbook page.

shape creation
We wanted to see how our sculpture fitted onto the human body and how well it moved when walked in, sophia happily modelled!
Without planning an outcome it allowed more creative ideas to come to the forefront.
Graduate of the Royal College of Art mersh is a textile based sculptor that fuses concept with experimentation
These are 2 experiments i produced in my sketchbook, replicating mersh's work, I used empty thread reels and pennys encased in tights to create texture and shape.
Katy Heinlein
Graduate of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Texas Heinlein creates simple theatrical sculptures using movement and tension, using the fluidity of fabric combined with the restraints of straps.
I thought these designers linked in well with the recent glue and cloth workshops in creating unusual shapes from a variety of materials.
