For the industry week I chose to design the menswear for Marni ss20. I normally design for women wear but I wanted to adventure into another area of design that I haven’t done before. To look at the different styles but to also look at the different body shapes and proportions when making that garment. As a group we first came up with our concept. Our first concept was to look at the ‘Perfect’ body to show that a ‘Perfect” body doesn’t exist, so we created colleges of different bodies mismatching together to create this weird and disproportion body that isn’t perfect.
However, we found that this concept was to wide and not refined enough. So, still keeping the theme of the body we wanted to look at phobias especially: Trypophobia, a fear go holes. I really liked this concept board because it was a subject that I have never looked at before and a challenge with the menswear as well as the concept. I really like how the team really came together with both the designers and Fashion Promotion students pulling all our ideas into one. I also feel that we problem solved as a team really well together as we all knew that our first concept wasn’t right for us and that we needed to look at something more specific, so working together and blurting out different ideas of a concept really helped us to refine to this final concept.
