Organic:Synthetic - Digital image making supporting study 2

Today we had our briefing from Alex for our new project. I was quite confused when i first read the brief on the intranet as i thought the theme was rather broad. However, after alex explaining everything i am much more clear with what it is and what i would like to do for this project. I am thinking maybe looking at DNA structure for my theme as its a natural form and therefore relates to organic. I would like to explore this by looking at DNA  in humans aswell as natural forms such as trees and plants. i am interested in the structure of it and how i could play around with this digitally and turn this into my designs? For the synthetic side i was thinking of using abstract art to mix it up. I also want to incorporate some photography in my final outcomes as i am particularly interested in turning it into styling for fashion.

Hussein Chalayan







Hussein Chalayan is one of my favourite designers, i love his work and the way he creates fashion from anything he can get his hands on. For instance his skirt that transformed into a table, GENIUS! I like the way he thinks and how all his designs are very original and have a clear story behind them. Just over a year ago now i visited his exibition which was in London it was amazing. His Inertia collection i found particularly interesting as his ideas came from a car crash. So the dresses looked wind swepped as if they were in motion. This makes it come alive and is what fashion is all about. All of his work is show stopping he manages to come up with the most original ideas and this was what i am interested in. It would be amazing to find out what inspires him.
