Fall 2015 Design Studio 3 Project 1: Textile Collection (3 weeks)
For this project we had to document our everyday journey and create a collection that was inspired from that.
My textile collection focuses on my journey from Stuyvesant Town to The New School Buildings on 5th Avenue.
My walk to school starts out very detailed and slow, I look at the trees, flowers, and people passing by. This is the time I walk slow and appreciate where I live.
Once I hit 14th Street and Ave B things start pacing faster and I am less observant.
From 14th Street all the way till I reach my classes my vision is a blur. I don't pay any attention to my surroundings and all i notice is the gray pavement. Until I reach The New School building I don't see anything, my mind is focused on getting to school as fast as I can. This is what I wanted to base my collection on. The concept of blurred vision.
For my colour story I looked at the photographer Billy Kidd and his decayed flower photos. I was inpired by the light and dark tones that was captured from the flower petals. I also wanted to keep the gray pavement as part of my colour story.
For my textiles collection I was inspired by the artist Peter Gronquist, who often paints large paintings of a blurry scenery.
Since it was a fall collection I wanted to experiment with fur, knits and yarn.
My final collection
