Project management tools helped me to plan and understand more about the materials I would need to make the final garment.  

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
To plan step by step my work that I have to do I created a plan for each piece of Garment that I need to do. These plans helped me to structure my work and not to forget details that I wanted to do. Even though I could deviate a little from the plan depending on the situation, this did not prevent me from doing a good job that I am happy with.

In this assignment I tried different sketching techniques that I think could help me in the future to draw designs, technical flats, etc. This assignment helped me to explore myself through the things I usually have with me. also this assignment could lead me to a topic that I would like to interpret in this project. I am happy with the result of this work and it was a useful interactive assignment.

Feedback from my peers gave me an outside perspective on how much people understood my idea, how I wanted to communicate it, and how the topic of my project related to me. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The feedback from the teacher gave me a more professional view of my work and the aspects I need to improve. my tutor wrote to me that I need to do more primary research, at that point I already had a lot of research, but not all of it suited my topic because I was researching different topics and seeing how it suited me. but I still agreed with the tutor's opinion and added some more primary research photos, moodboards. I also listened to the rest of the advice about material experimentation and did it. I wanted to do these experiments as well but didn't have time before the presentation.

In this assignment I evaluated my project to see how well I thought I had done with what I had done so far and then the tutor gave me advice on how I could improve what I have now. The tutor's advice helped me to better organise my project plan, which I already had at the time but decided to rewrite. Also I added comments and descriptions to my design boards so that in addition to visual understanding there was a verbal explanation. The feedback helped me a lot to improve my project.

To finally reflect this exhibition I want to say that it did not help me in finding a theme for my project, but it pushed me to see how people can see themselves differently and there does not have to be a clear explanation for others. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Overall, this exhibition also showed me that the expression of personality can be expressed by different things and from different aspects.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I have been researching my culture and nationality as a theme for my project. as I don't want to focus all my attention on my culture because I am still a personality in myself, I want to incorporate elements of nationality and embroidery into my work. also by doing this I want to show the contrast between cultural and modern styles. This research helped me find one of the topics for my project. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Since I decided to definitely include embroidery in my garment to show my nationality I decided to do an experiment with the fabric that I will use for the design (cotton twill). I also used canvas to make the embroidery even. The purpose of my experiment was to see if I could pull out the canvas after the embroidery was finished so that it would not be damaged. I am happy with the result and I fulfilled my purpose. This experiment was very useful to me and I can now start making the final garment. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this project I improvised with the design and materials, which then gave me the idea of design for my initial ideas. I am happy with the result of this work, it clearly describes the colour scheme and techniques that I would like to bring in my work.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In the illustrations I tried to use the Karl Lagerfeld technique and also used my favourite materials ink and watercolour. I am happy with the result, in these illustrations I have shown how I see my initial ideas. I have also noticed that my skills in drawing illustrations have clearly improved.

I created this mindmap to break down all the topics that I can use for an identity project. After writing down all the possible options I realised that I didn't know what I wanted to put into my work and it was difficult to decide which aspect I should choose. As I realised that I am not a single-minded person at all and cannot choose one thing, I decided that my theme would be contrast of styles and contrast of memories. I associate it with the fact that every stage of my life is perceived differently and I see myself as a different person all the time.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this moodboard I have collected primary research photos with which I tried to convey the atmosphere, colour scheme and vibe that I want to be present in my work. In addition to the photos that conveyed the atmosphere, I also took some photos of the fabrics I wanted to use. My goal was to convey atmosphere with textures I am happy with this moodboard I think it describes well what I wanted to convey. Also most of these pictures are of my things so I think this moodboard describes me well.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In these collages I also tried to convey the atmosphere and things that are important to me. these collages helped me to think about my future work. I am happy with the result of two collages on the left, but i do not really like two collages on the right side because i decided that the colour palette is not what i wanted to do in my future garment. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
This assignment helped me to experiment and try to shape what I wanted to make. Also in this assignment I experimented with different shapes and materials I often used plastic bones to make shapes. I am happy with the result of this experiment.

Vivienne Westwood is the biggest inspiration in fashion for me and I found out what I like about her work and what I want to use. I have emphasised to myself that I want my work to be feminine and emphasise the figure. I also created a moodboard for visual inspiration and understanding. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In the first design board I wanted to reflect a dark romantic style, with dark shades and lush silhouettes. the first design boards I made more like a mood boards for myself, i.e. I added a lot of things to feel and convey the atmosphere. In this design board I added one of my initial designs that I came up with based on a similar style and an illustration of this design, I also added some techniques and elements that I would use in the final work based on this design board. the main inspiration for me in this style was Vivienne Westwood, which I had previously done research on. this assignment helped me to research different themes and styles that I could use as a main theme in this project.

For the second design board I decided to choose black as the main colour and base it on a more gothic style. What I wanted to convey with this design board is a kind of secrecy, introversion and so on. The idea of creating this design board came from the initial ideas that I drew and that I put into this design board.

In this design board as the main style I chose folk style and my culture because it is a big part of my personality. My inspiration for this design board was the national Ukrainian costumes of the 19th century. I would like to pay a lot of attention to embroidery and decorative elements such as beads and so on. I was initially sure that my design would not be completely based on my culture because for me it's like I would just copy my design from existing outfits but anyway I would definitely add embroidery because for me it symbolises who I am.

As I was a bit struggling because I didn't know where to start with my material experiments I decided to try the lino print again, I noticed that the lines were clearer and I started to cut much smoother and more confidently, but unfortunately I didn't find it useful in this project, although I think the lino print is a good idea to add emphasis to the fabric.

I did these experiments when I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted to do. I think to some extent I can relate the gathers on my skirt to the american smocking technique. Of course it's not the same technique but it looks similar to me. I really like the look of the american smocking technique and I'm sure I'll be able to use this technique in the future.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In my initial ideas I only wanted to capture the shape without going into details. I also didn't think about anything in particular and didn't worry too much about the designs because I knew that I would choose one or more and develop them anyway.

This challenge gave me a more clear idea and aesthetic of what i wanted to do. I improvised in this task and did not think of anything specific, but rather did everything chaotically. I am happy with the result of this experiment. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Inspired by this designer I made some samples of different types of ruffles and I wanted to link these samples with this particular designer. I’m sure I will use ruffles in construction of my final outcome. I love hove Christian uses riffles along the bottom edges of a garment to add lushness and volume. I am going to use the sale technique and add ruffles to my corset underneath. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I decided to take Josh Gallian as another designer from whom I would take inspiration for the silhouette of my outfit. His work also often features opulent looks in dark shades with chaotic gathers and pleats. I really like the way he expresses in his outfits what he wants to convey to the public. His images have a unique fashion feel and that's what I really like about him. I like the fact that his looks are not made for everyday wear but they have a sense of uniqueness to them. I may also notice that many of the outfits feature embroidery, I suspect with beads or other materials that I also want to bring into my work.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The pleats were not very useful for me in this project because my outfit was based on chaotic and specifically these pleats look too even and regular to me. But I'm still happy with the result of this experiment because it's a pretty useful skill that can come in handy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I am very happy with the result of the experiments with ruffles that I made. I was initially sure that I would use ruffles in my project and these experiments helped me a lot to understand how to make them correctly and gave me the opportunity to choose which ones I want to make.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
These two experiments were also useful for me I really wanted to use the metal pewter casting part and make a head piece out of it. Also I thought that the 3D printing detail I could use as a bracelet as an accessory since I decided that I would style my outfit with a fake facial piercing.

This research has been one of the biggest highlights of my work. In this research I have collected both: primary reserach photos from which I made the moodboard and the supporting image of Shalom Harlow by Alexander McQueen. For me, graphiti has a great meaning in self-expression as well as memories. I am very happy with the result of the experiment and the research I did. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I found another inspiration that cemented my desire to make a graffiti-inspired skirt in my work. I really like how the designer diversified the dress with the brightly coloured lettering from spray paint. I also really like the silhouette of the dress as it is lush and voluminous and has kind of a corset. And also digging in the works of this stylist I found also some photos and the style of these photos very much to my liking so maybe based on this style of photos I will try to make similar for my lookbook.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I'm not much of a marketer so I didn't really know what I wanted to do for my lookbook. I didn't know what kind of photos I wanted to take, how I wanted to design the lookbook and especially at the time of the lookbook research I didn't even have the final idea of my Garment, so when I already had the photos in hand and the finished work I made a lookbook based on what I have and how I feel about the photos. In general from this lookbook research I have learnt that I don't want any super interesting poses, but for me the most important thing is to have the right location, so a white background would not suit me.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I have been looking for a lookbook that I would like to take as inspiration for a long time and the closest I found was the Masion Margiela lookbook collection by John Galliano. all the other lookbooks look too ordinary and boring for me because most of them are just photos on a white background and no details. The first thing that caught my eye in this lookbook is the styling of the photos. I like how much attention is paid not only to the images themselves, but also to the processing. I also noticed that certain locations were chosen for the images to emphasise the atmosphere and the message of the outfit and to convey the different aspects of the collection. I also like that apart from the collection itself there are some details and elements in the photos, such as mesh, stones, scales that match the vibe and support it. Also coming back to the processing of the photos I like that the photos seem to be taken in a fog and with a certain undertone that also emphasises the style of the collection. I want to take a similar processing that will suit my photos and since I don't have the opportunity to use a camera and I will be taking photos on my phone, with the help of processing I can make the photos more professional and adjust the light, shadows, brightness, etc. For my lookbook I will also use different locations to convey the atmosphere of my garment from different angles and from different perspectives. in addition to full-length photos, I will also use photos of individual details in the lookbook, just as it is shown in the Maison Margiela lookbook. This research was really helpful for me to think how i want to do my lookbook and how i’m going to lay everything out.

In this assignment I analysed my client, i.e. me, in order to better understand what to do. also the comp shop gave me an insight into the different variations of High street dungarees and how I would like to change or not change the pattern for my garment. this work was quite useful for my work in the future.

To sew a dungaree I just followed the instructions on how to sew it correctly. Firstly I served a bib pocket and sewed it to the front, bib, then made darts on the back leg and sewed on back pockets. Next I attached the false fly to the front leg and sewed two pieces of front leg together. The construction of the dungaree was not difficult for me in sewing, but some moments were difficult. For example I mistook that the parts of the inner pockets should be mirror and I sewing them identical, but I immediately redid one of them. I am happy with the result of my jumpsuit I think it turned out very neat and I made it quite quickly, also it fit me very well in size and I think I did a great job.

I think that my final design board came out the best. For all my experience of creating design boards this one came out the best because by it you can feel all the atmosphere that I want to convey and I think that it is not overloaded with the number of objects but shows everything in detail. On it I have already shown my final design and a few objects of my inspiration and details that I want to use in my work. This design board perfectly conveys the visual understanding and I also added some phrases there that emphasise what I want to express in this design board. I am very happy with the result of my final design board.

In order to make a corset, I first covered myself with masking tape and on this detail I drew the shape of the corset that I need and started to make patterns on it. The first corset I made just to understand how it will sit and I failed to make the right pattern and the front of the corset stuck out so I redrew the next pattern and I was happy with the result of the next corset but I decided that it should be more converged in the back so I added another panel. I also tried to make a corset not according to my patterns but according to patterns from the internet but I absolutely did not like this corset, it did not fit me according to the silhouette i wanted and it was too big even though I took size XS. In the trial part (toile) of the corset I just wanted to see how well it would fit me and so I did not put in the bones, I did not do the lacing to save time and effort. I am very happy with the result of this corset, it was the first pattern I made myself I think I did a very good job.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Here I have shown step by step how I created the corset for the final outcome. The first thing I did was to cut out the patterns and sew the front and back separately. The most time consuming job was to do the embroidery as I did it by hand, it took me about a week and I did the embroidery on the front of the corset. Then I folded the edges on the sides and also glued iron interface there to make the places where the eyelets should be tighter and the corset would hold its shape better. Next, I sewed the front and back of the corset together and sewed the lace inside as well. Then I sewed tunnels for the bones and inserted the bones into the corset after which I sewed the bottom part of the corset. Then I sewed the previously prepared by me ruffles of ribbon on which also was sewed lace and sewed them to the bottom part of the corset. Then I processed the sides and nailed in them eyelets and then laced up. Also about the embroidery I had a slightly different idea initially because it was going to be two symmetrical embroideries on both sides but as I realised already in the process that it takes a lot of time and it is quite complicated I decided that I would do the embroidery only on one side and make it more flowing. I am very pleased with the result of my work I did not expect the corset to turn out so neat and I think it looks quite professional I am also very pleased that apart from the front part the back part looks neat and beautiful. I can say with certainty that this corset was not difficult to make, I just had to think step by step how to make it, which I did by creating a plan. And also the most difficult but time consuming and tedious part was the embroidery.

In order to make the patterns for my jumpsuit which I wanted to make more like a jumpsuit I took the trousers and top from my own clothes which best fit what I wanted to make. It was very difficult for me to make the top part of the jumpsuit, I redid it four times and I didn't like it and it was very difficult for me to make it fit the figure and it was also very difficult for me to make the straps because initially I wanted to make the straps wide but in the process I realised that narrow thin straps would fit much better and it was much easier to make them. The trousers were also a bit tricky to make, but they were less problematic than the top, so I only made two test pieces of trousers and the second one fit me perfectly in the silhouette. I also didn't spend a lot of time on the trial piece because I just wanted to see if it would fit me and how it would sit on me. It was not difficult for me to make the jumpsuit, the only problem was the pattern because it took a lot of time and it was quite difficult for me. I am very happy with the result of my toile jumpsuit.

After I had sorted out all the patterns I started to make the jumpsuit. To make it much easier for me to put it on and to make it fit me well, I used a very long zip for the fastener. I also followed the plan that I had made earlier, which made it much easier for me to make the jumpsuit. But the only thing I don't like is that I didn't calculate the length of the trousers and they should have been a bit longer but I still like the result of the jumpsuit and the way I decorated it by adding eyelets and studs. Making this jumpsuit was not very difficult for me because I had made the traditional dungaree before and I took a lot of details from the instructions on how to make it, so I didn't have any problems with the fake fly and so on. I am very pleased with the result of this jumpsuit.

To make the skirt I didn't need a trial piece because I didn't even need a pattern. to make this skirt silhouette I folded the fabric in a certain way and just cut the length I needed. the pattern for the skirt I chose is called semi flared. I also made two skirts that I joined together to add volume. Also, each of these two skirts I have a little bit of ruffles on top to make it more wavy and lay more smoothly and gently and also to add volume. In order to make a belt I sewed to the fabric from which I made the skirt corsage ribbon and in this belt I sewed these two skirts previously sewn together. also after that I sewed a button fastener and my skirt was ready for decoration. To begin with, I decided to drape the skirt by putting it on a mannequin and started to randomly gather in different places adding volume and this chaotic. After that I added pearls to the skirt and sprayed it with spray paint to add a graffiti effect. And after that I made a small embroidery on the front with black beads. Making the skirt was probably the most difficult part because I chose synthetic silk for the fabric, which turned out to be very uncomfortable to work with. It was constantly very loose and because I wanted to make a sloppy edge I decided instead of tucking the edges of the skirt I zigzag stitched them. As I said the fabric was very hard to work with, it was quite slippery and not very easy to work with. It was difficult to make ruffles with it but I am still very happy with the result although I imagined and drew this skirt a little differently but I really like how it turned out I am very happy with the result.

I am happy with the result of my experiment. this experience was very unusual and I am sure it will come in handy in my next projects I really enjoyed making this mixture, it was an interesting experiment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
For the location I decided to emphasise my outfit instead of contrasting it so I chose a few locations such as graffiti and interesting buildings. Also I want the background to be free of any plants and green colour if possible because to me in this photos it will ruin the atmosphere a bit. Also, I would have liked the photos to be taken in the dark, but I didn't have such an opportunity and so only part of the photos were taken in the dark. Also about the graffiti, I wanted the colour of the graffiti to match my outfit as much as possible, so I chose this background

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I wanted to style my outfit in an unusual way so I decided to do a bright make-up and a sloppy bun hairstyle. For the bright make-up I chose black, brown, purple eyeshadow, I also want to smudge my eyebrows and glue a lot of fake piercings and in general I want to make an accent on metal parts that would reinforce the spikes and eyelets on the garment. About the hairstyle I'm inspired by something similar to Victorian buns but I want to make it in a more messy look. For shoes I want to wear the heels I have, they are massive and fit the style of my outfit perfectly. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Despite the fact that my final work is a little different from what the design board looks like and how I imagined it, I am very happy with the result. always when I start sewing and creating I am guided by the work in progress and proceed from what I get. I put a lot of time and work in this project and the result is worth my efforts and expectations. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In my lookbook I wanted to convey a few of the main styles incorporated into my garment. Although my work also includes folk style, I did not rely on it in my lookbook. I dedicated the first page to street style and graffiti, which I associate with freedom and the opportunity to express myself, as well as graffiti is associated for me with life in Ukraine. I wanted to diversify my lookbook by adding photos and different elements that fit the style and support the atmosphere of the photos. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
On the second page of my lookbook, I decided to emphasise the Victorian aesthetic and style and for the photos I also chose a background and location that I felt was appropriate. I also added a few details to reinforce this atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
On the third page of the lookbook I wanted to show a more bold punk style. I wanted to show with this page something that doesn't fit the norm. The main details to create this atmosphere for me were spikes, fake piercings, eyelets, massive heels and covered eyebrows. I also added a few details such as spiked shoes and lace for the page design to reinforce the atmosphere. I am very happy with the result of my lookbook overall I think it looks quite unusual and I like the way I did it and the way all the pages have the same background and format and it unites them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I took for myself that for the highest grade I need to do another research and I decided to dig deeper into the lookbooks research. also I am glad that my work is at a good level and this feedback helped me a lot.
