Fashion Face

I needed illustrative style of doing my fashion faces that gives a cheeky tongue in cheek feel. As my collection is humorous. I was collaging ideas together and made this face using elements from different images. 

Having the hair in coke rollers is a quirky way to have 1950's hollywood kitsch.

However i wanted to go further than just collaging my own photos together, and so put coke can rollers in my hair and pulled numerous funny faces, i then used photoshop to add the glasses and crazy coloured hair. 

Here are my final 8 faces with slight changes

I also made over 35 different combinations of faces with different coloured hair, various props and faces. Here are some of the others below. However for the final ones i made the neck smaller to allow fit onto rest of illustration.

Composition Explanatory Flats

Although the illustrations for this collection explain my fabrics textures and technical detailing i have also made rendered flats. This shows exactly what the garment would look like if my collection was to be made. Here are previews of some of my rendered flat CAD's below.

Technical Flats

Here is a preview of some of my technical flats , rendered flats will be added next week to show in detail the fabric choices ! I have explored more into shading flats to make my specifications more self explanatory. Due to my garments being extremely textural i feel i have portrayed my ideas well.
