Ida Rentoul Outhwaite (1888-1960) è una nota illustratrice di libri per bambini, nata e cresciuta in Australia. Il suo tema preferito è il mondo degli elfi e delle fate.

Ida era nata nel 1888 a Carlton , Victoria, ultima dei quattro figli del Reverendo Dr. J.L. Rountel, un ministro di culto presbiteriano di origine irlandese , e di sua moglie Annie Isobel.

Dopo aver compiuto gli studi presso il Presbyterian Ladies' College a Melbourne, Ida sposò nel 1909 Arthur Grenbry Outhwaite.

In seguito Ida firmò i suoi lavori, eseguiti prevalentemente con penna, inchiostro e acquarelli, con il cognome del marito abbinato al proprio da nubile.

Le prime illustrazioni furono pubblicate dalla rivista New Idea nel 1904, quando Ida avevo solo 15 anni, e corredavano una storia scritta dalla sorella più grande, Anne. Pare comunque che entrambe le sorelle avessero già manifestato le loro straordinarie e precoci doti artistiche collaborando al giornale della scuola. La loro continuò ad essere per molti anni un'accoppiata vincente.

Dopo il matrimonio, Ida collaborò anche con il marito , in particolare con The Enchanted Forest (1921), The Little Fairy Sister (1923) e Fairyland (1926). In molti casi erano propri i suoi bambini, Robert, Ann, Wendy e William a fare da modelli per le sue illustrazioni.

I suoi lavori furono esposti in numerose mostre non solo in Australia, ma anche a Londra e a Parigi tra il 1907 e il 1933. In effetti molti critici la considerano la più geniale illustratrice d'Australia.

La sua produzione è così copiosa e , a mio parere, così raffinata che è stato difficile per me limitare il numero delle illustrazioni che seguono :

Mi piace il suo tocco lieve, elegante, preciso, che pur essendo ricco di dettagli, mantiene la trasparenza e la poesia dell'immaginario.

This is one of my favourite illustrations because of the colours and the fairies, they are all sticking to

One color pallete showing that fairies tend to be very feminine and girly, their wings are very neutral toned and earthy.

Ida is a well known illustrator for fairytale books, when I researched illustrations with this style, her work would always come up and it was beautiful all the time, I love the colours, how they’re not very bright and more neutral and I may put this into my work with pops of colour to embed the other artists such as Josephine and Helen.

I was going for fairies and ida’s picture came up in this there is w fairy and a few fishes which she is riding, I like the fact that the fairy is mixing with the ocean and no only sticking to forest fairies, I might add mermaids into this fantasy world.

This picture has much more colours while still keeping it neutral, my main colour pallet will have greens browns and pops of pink, blue and orange.

Florence’s work is very beautiful I feel like there’s more of a religious background to her work though, her work tends to end up on Christmas cards more than fairytales. I love the style she makes these illustrations, they look more animated than a live form of art, it’s more detailed in the fairies than the background which is much more simple. I love how the fairies are dressed and the way the wings were made.

Florences illustrations feature on alot of cards as greeting, like this one. i love the clothes on this fairy mostly beacuse of the light fabric around her arms making her look more elegent and gentle , it looks lke it would be a light and breezy fsbric like chiffon, most fairy illustrations look like they are wearing a lighter feeling fabric and i want to use that as part of the final outcome.

as i am doing the convept of a fairy utopian world, i wasnted to stick to nature fairies, this is a ,ermaid, another art of a fictional story and charatcters, it drew mw in as its a very flowy illustration, with a strict colour pallate, its also neutrual and earthy like the fairies. it will be a part of my colour pallate.

Josephine wall was inspired by william shakespeare, "Titania and Oberon 2", as i wanted to show the loving side of the fairies, i found this picture amazing as its an inspiration from shakespeare, a british writer known for his iconic plays such as romeo and juliet, a story of star-crossed lovers.

# data[].attributes.body
What attracted me to Josephine walls illustrations was that they had more colour than the other book illustrators, that’s why I chose her work to do research on, I love the contrast of positive colours, they give me a vibe that makes me happy and makes me what to keep looking at the photos, along with it has so many details and they’re all so different.

I chose this piece from the S/S 1999 collection because of the the fabrics used and the scarf around the arm that reminded me of the "The Dream Pedler" By Florence Mary Anderson that had fabric around her arms, though it was longer and white. i also loved the asymmetrical at the bottom of the dress that is layered, i wanted to add layering to the garments as it helps the garment look for flowy. I also loved the colours used and they look like the colour pallate i made. Athe whole S/S 1999 Ungaro collection give the aesthetic of fairies and light clothing that i want to acheive, though i will not go for the colour pallette used i will use it as an ispiration.

"It's been very stressful with all those deadlines, the texts you're supposed to hand in and also the critiques that you get."

No matter how fun the experience was for Emma, fashion design is always surrounded by a looming sense of stress. "It's been very stressful with all those deadlines, the texts you're supposed to hand in and also the critiques that you get," she says. "But in a way it is also positive that we learned to cope with that, it prepared me for real life." And if you are willing to study fashion too, follow Gudmundson's advice: "If you feel like something is just not your thing, don't stress about it. Everyone has things they're good at. During the first days of school, I thought I had to be the best in everything and overwork each design, and in reality, you don't have to do that."

"I really want to make my own things, and maybe have a job on the side too."

Now that she has graduated, Emma is ready to take on the next step - starting her own fashion label, where she also wants to create her own bags. "I really want to make my own things, and maybe have a job on the side too," she says. With a wide range of opportunities to explore, she is now very busy. "There is a lot going on at the moment," she says. But no matter where this new project might take her, she will stay true to herself. Emma Gudmundson's gut will always lead the way.

As im doing alot of fabric manipulation, i looked more into it and found this from SS14 Thom Brown.i love how flowy and neautrual it looks, its mostly sculptural fashion with fabric manipulation, i figured its made with small pleats and layered fabrics. As it is sculptural, i might add small details of sculptural fashions into my project, although i will have to work it out in my sketchbook.

# data[].attributes.body
when i saw this picture it reminded me of fabric manipulation and how, because its on the back, its like the fairy wings, also that the material they used looks light and floey,like how i imagined fairy clothes to be. I decided to do some research into fabric manipulation and this will be a part of the project.

as i was doing research into fairies, i notices most of the top clothing is tight and as most of these illustrations were made in in the 1800s-1900s, where corsets were worn alot, and were very big in the 1800s.i want to add corset details to my collections, like tie ups, but i i dont like hook and eye corsets so most of it will be the ones that you can tie up.

I feel like most of charlotte Knowles collections inspire me and show me a fairy side, but more dramatic and modernside of it, this piece show show the kind of layering i want do to as well as the asymetrical and flowy, light style im going for. i love the neutral colours and the bottom of the skirt thats layered with trousers.

This is a harder pleating/fabric manipulation method, but if i use it or make a smaple i will only use it on small places, to add details and texture to the garment. Waves is a part of this imagine thats fabric manipulation but its not a big part of it, i want to use waves on silk as it gives an effect that i love.

# data[].attributes.body
I was reminded of the 2000s curtains when i saw them in a store and thought it would go well wil the fairy theme though it is more modern. these beads are butterflys, they are related to fairies but are actualy real and not fantasy, want to put thes beads (on string) into the final collection, they give me magical vibes, and i love how they are so cute and more modern touch compared to the 1800s ilustrations.

In an article Emma says that she was inspred by  underwater creatures, she created a collection that translates organic animal shapes and their opacity into wearable clothing. I want to recreate this type of fabric manipulaion as it reminds me of fairy wings and looks flowy and lught. This is also very sculptural in places, so i will interpret this into my work and make a sample.

I was searching for different types of fabric manipulation and found tucks, i want to involve tucks into my collection as i love the design it comes out with, but i will use a different fabric on it as i dont likw how tight and thick it looks, i might make a jacket or over layer over the final garment, to layer and add volume to the garment.

# data[].attributes.body
While looking into fabric manipulation i found different types other than pleats, one of my faviroutes is smocking , like the one in the picture below, i want to us this as part of the skills in the project, i imagine it in the bottoms or sleeve. i scearched up tutorials on how to do this and will make a sample out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
i tried fabric manipulation on calico to see if they looked nice, i followed a tutorial and this is what it came out as (picture below). i need to press it to make it more neat, i tried to do it on organza, but stuggled to draw the dimensions on of the squares on it as it moved alot, i will try to do it on organza or mesh and sample it as its more of the type of fabric i want to use.

# data[].attributes.body
When I was draping to get some inspiration, I decided to add a honeycomb pleat to the top as part of the fabric manipulation, though it not a neat one it’s an idea of what it would look like and I used it as a top to develop to further in my sketch. I don’t think I like the effect it has on its own as a top and with the material that’s used but I might do it with layered garments and another material.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a top i brought, i loved the sleeve at the end, the ruffles, and want to add that into my colection. i wnt to do bell sleeves and made a pattern peice for it. but i wont do a small one like in the picture ill do it layered and bigger, i might also use it for places other than the sleeves.

# data[].attributes.body
the flowers in this portrait reminded me of the flowers and some of the illustrations, this is also where i got the idea for bell sleeves came from, i need to add it to my sketchbook and adapt it and its style.

# data[].attributes.body
this is a musical box, it used to have glitter in it. i thought this related to some of the stories and illustrations because of the designs at the bottom, i might make a design like that, it reminds me of scaffolding so i can do a more sculpural peice in it.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this picture at an Alexander Mqueen exhibition. i loved the embroided flowers and the layering, though its not the style im going for, i like how it looks like fairy clothes and neutral. there was also alot of pleating in this collection like honeycome, this is where the original ideas came from.

# data[].attributes.body
I did waves on a piece of mesh to see if I could do it, I managed to get the fabric not to move a lot by using weights, the weights I used weren’t very heavy so next time I’ll use heavier ones as the fabric still managed to move, I use lead pencils to make the lines however, next time I’ll use chalk or something that washed off as you could see the lines on the other side when it was finished.

# data[].attributes.body
Whilst I was doing my sketchbook work, I wanted a fabric with very small pleats (1cm) but instead I found plisse fabric and I want to use it

# data[].attributes.body
on one of my sketchbook design pages, i drew out fairy wings and wanted to do a smaple of cut out fabric, this wouldve been on a bigger scale and a more plastic fabric, however with the organza , it was very fragile and didnt look the way i wanted it to look, i decided i wouldnt use this in the final line up, though i might try a better go at a sample in future projects.

# data[].attributes.body
for one of my sketchbook designgs i saw the corset strings hanging low, it reminded me of a few of the fairy illustrations that inspired this project, i wanted to replicate this look through two different fabrics, the organza was too thick and sturdy so it didnt give the flowy look, however on the satin, it hung low and looked nice and what i wanted, in another colour though.

# data[].attributes.body
this is a sample of waves manipulation, i will be using this in the final, i dont know if i will use oranza as its not an easy fabric to draw on and sew by hand on, however it looks amazing and very flowy, which is part of the aesthetic i want to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
This sample of fabric manipulation reminded me of fairy wings and i wanted to see it on the back of a person, i want to design ontop of it for my final peice as i love how it looks, it would be on a thicker fabric such as polyester or cotton.

# data[].attributes.body
i made a metal replica of wing patterns , i wanted to add this as a detail on the neck of one of the graments, i placed placed it by the arm of this mannequin to see how it would look around diffeent parts of the body, it would be a bunch of small metal wings going along the neck.

# data[].attributes.body
as i was researching into fabric i found one sustainable silk packs, it shows the way silk is made sustainably, however i dont think ill used silk in my final peice for the fabrics as its too shiny and extravegant and i feel fairies dont dress as extravegant although most of the collection will be dresses with hints of modern touches, such as mini skirts.

# data[].attributes.body
Using a bodice and turning the  darts into a princess seam, tailoring it into a corset and outlining my design for the final. I found new techniques such as how to fix the tension and tailor it.
