Further research into the work of Georgia Hardinge

whilst carrying out further research into Hardinge i came across some of her early 3D pieces that related to my own ideas for my current project. the piece i was drawn to is pictured above, i was immediately drawn to the construction and textural design that has the 3D element. the piece takes a 3D shape and repeats it placing it in the most flattering way on the form which causes it to almost mold and flatter the figure because of this placement.
this really interested me as it shows how placement can also effect how the end result looks on the figure and something to keep in mind on this project and future projects.
further images of the piece below, and another piece from the same collection showing a similar repeated textural design .

The pieces have been created in cotton fabrics in single colour tones of creams throughout, focusing the attention on the actual textural detailing on the design and also works well to create the textural detailing giving them a sharp crisp finish.the textural element is a repeated 3D structure continues and repeats in a flattering placement on the entire design.

the piece reminds me of the spines of animals and fish with a modern twist element i feel the designer was trying to reflect in the pieces.

this design would have required advanced knowledge of pattern cutting and manipulations as well as both advanced and basic sewing and construction skills, and a good understanding of placement to flatter the form.

as mentioned previously this piece interests me as it shows how a structured Textural piece can be interpreted and created to both flatter and be wearable. elements i wish to incorporate into my own designs. it also has a similar textural construction to my ideas for this project and gives me ideas on how i could  intrprets the shapes and feature of the fishes. 

like i discussed on my last post i feel this designer style of wear ability in intriguing designs that are both modern and constructional inspiring is what makes this work and the designer inspirations to both my self and other in the fashion industry. and will continue to both inspire me for this project and future projects.
