Fashion Illustration - Morena

We had to do some final folio for the Final project in our advanced clothing production class. Part of the requirement was an illustration of the collection we did. It has been two years since our last illustrations class, so i really know my illustration skills are already rusty... but here are the fashion illustration studies that i did for my final collection. eventually, i had to do some adjustments to my collection after taking some suggestions from my block mates and my professor. hahahahaha~ im sorry, i really find my work funny. lol. needs improvement. i gotta practice more now..

My love for draping

These are some draping projects i had for school and we need to shoot it for class. so yea. (^_^) uhm, my model had to cancel last minute so my makeup artist, Janina had to shoot it. haha! (^_^) my dress still looked pretty on a petite model (janina is just 5'0"). kudos to my two great photographer friends mabel dizon and aaron abadilla. this is my second time to work with them, and i really love their shots everytime. (^_^) i really love shooting in UP. for me, i think UP is best because youll never run out of new places to shoot clothes. the season changes its landscape everytime, and new buildings, facade, roads and venues provide you a limitless possibility. so there, here below are just some of the photos from the shoot. (^_^)

MIRAGE - lifestyle catalogue

So my summer class is finally over. Im a bit upset, maybe because i really enjoyed the class. And partly because i dont get to design and sew clothes anymore. But im looking forward to my new classes. I have draping, and i have advanced clothing production. I wish i learn a lot.  I heard one of the faculty is back, and i heard that she is really good. Im excited. Below are some of the clothes i designed. Since the summer class was a production class, we get to manage our classmates as our employees, and they did the sewing. Ill try to post some of the clothes i constructed for the other groups, since i too was required to be an employee for them, for now, ill share with you the photos i took and sorta edited. lol. pardon my abysmal skill in photoshop, perhaps thats one of the reasons why i didnt enroll in viscomm or mma. lol. Enjoy the photos. lemme know what you think about my designs. (^_^)

I found this really cool video of a guy teaching how to distress denim on youtube. So i did it on the jeans i designed for my class. Youll see me wearing it in one of the photos above. haha~ Below is the video im talking about. :P It features Denim Guru Paul Dillinger of Martin +Osa. Its a really cool video. It shows you how exactly to distress your jeans and do all sorts of technique to make it look worn out. Watch the video below:

Another video i watched was that of a girl bleaching denim. This i also did with my designed jeans for my summer class. (^_^) Watch the video below:

Go ahead and do your own distressing and bleaching! (^_^) Dont forget to show me how your jeans turned out. (^_^)

Black Parade

 All of these photos were taken by Raecen Dimacali. This was for the CT Exhibit we were preparing for AS Lobby. I made a beaded tulled skirt, a military jacket, and liquid tights for the shoot. The shoes, ok, it was really fierce and believe it or not, my friend got it from SM Department Store. I am amused at how department stores are able to catch up and even level up their aesthetic value in terms of design. They are now starting to take note of how the mass market (primarily composed of upper c to upper b with considerable disposable income and purchasing power) are rapidly becoming fashion sensitive. It may be due to the fact that the mass market is highly interspersed with information (fashion and beauty) unlike before. As these information are readily accessible (online, other media) to consumers, they are now able to adapt quickly to change compared to before when they would have to rely heavily on peers and other opinion leaders (celebrities). Anyway, going back to my clothes. hahahahahahahha~ it was a fun shoot and Erika, my model, was so fun and easy to work with. (^_^)

Test Shoot for Clothing Technology Exhibit

0

It was just a test shoot. So no professional models. Hahaha~ Luckily Lhenvil Paneda (a CT freshman, and an awesome makeup artist - he does magazine jobs already) was there with us. His class at the AVR room just finished and he was walking by and he saw the clothes we were pairing up. Hahahahaha~ Everything was so unplanned and random. lol. We were originally looking at the clothes we were preparing for the exhibit, checking if each of the clothes were and ready to be paired. Also, our blockmate, Kat, who got into Bunka Fashion College (Kenzo and Yohji Yamamoto graduated from Bunka, Japan's premiere fashion school) in Shibuya District under the Mogankabusho Scholarship program (damn, if only i knew they were offering scholarships for fashion design. haha~ back then whenever i would check for the Mogankabusho Scholarship, all i would see will be grants for math and science programs. haha~) was in Manila for her spring break, so we decided to have a fun shoot right there and then. lol. i love spontaneity. lol.
