Menswear Project

With the summer holidays officially begun, and the sun pearing through the thick scottish clouds. I finally got my menswear folio and garments back when I headed back to Gala (Narnia) for my exam (which was luckily only 20 multiple choice questions).
During semester two we were to pair ourselves with a partner (Hannah) and had to create mens t-shirt,  using techinicial sewing machines that we previously hadn't used, and seperatly create a 60's graphic that we felt woud be seen on a mens T-shirt. As a pair we had to combine our jean design ideas to come up with a pair that we later had to create in the sewing workshop.

For my folio I selected three T-shirt designs I had created and took them forward and put them into my menswear line-up, I finally select a design that was going to be my final graphic. I was pretty pleased with my final line up, as I didn't use photoshop, I managed to do all this on publisher (I won't lie it was a challenge, especially without a mouse and only the touch pad) But who doesnt love a challenge?

Below is Hannah and I's Final menswear i-D cover, we were asked to photograph the clothes we had created and use appropriate text for i-D magazine.
Living in Gala there are limited male's to model our clothes, so Hannah and I came up with the idea of crumpled, ripped and torn paper, With models from magazines, and images of our jeans, t-shirt, and 60's Graphic, in a collage! (not unlike Clash Magazines recent cover)

Hannah and I are still waiting for our grades for our Menswear and are unsure how the lecturers are going to take the i-D magazine cover we created, they will either love it or hate it!
Let us know what you think. I hope you like what we have made.
