A3 Illustration and Final Evalution

My A3 illustration for my portfolio

From researching depth into British clothing and Menswear history, looking trends from different sources such as vintage, street style and contemporary designers I have used my inspiration from all those sources to created my design ideas which are all reflected well. As I have many different designs that I like I have chosen the best 13 designs to look at and used for my line up and have created technical drawing for all of those designs this has leads me to choose my final design to go through to my pattern cutting and manufacturing lessons. I think my final design chosen is representing my chosen theme of Car Racing well and reflected my research of vintage clothing using cape style, as well as the colour chosen are an up coming trend for AW14/15. The ideal of choosing and looking at fabrics to use for my jacket was quite a hard decision for me as there were less of natural materials that I could easily looked at in the fabric store but I have also looked at stuff like Harris Tweed, wool, cotton as well as sports fabric which I think I will be looking at using some sort of thick cotton, wool for my jacket and sports fabric for my lining.

Throughout Made In Britain assignment I have creatively used a combination techniques such as hand drawing, painting, collaging and digital (Photoshop) from looking and using inspiration I have looked at on my Pinterest page. After choosing my final design I then moved on to research in men's bags which is an accessory that I will create to go along with my jacket. I have researched and look depth into different sources of bags and ideas to create my final design. After created my final design and created samples I have made my final bag but I have change few details on my bag as there were less time for me.

I think If I have more time to change anything within this assignment I would only change my final of my bag by spending more time them and use more techniques as well as creating my final illustration in A3 for my portfolio  using more techniques and more details which I will bring my creativeity through to create my final illustration on an A2.

Final Swing Tag and Label For My Garments

Final for my tags and label on my garment.

For my collection I have also been researching at looking at tags and labels as part of this assignment which I will be making and using on my garments. I have been looking different sources such as designers, brands and related objects as well as materials used. For the colour I will be using the same concept as I used for my final designs collection.

Final design idea for my bag which I will be using leather, weaving and laser cutting (CAM) for my main details on the bag.

I have been researching depth into different types of bags, materials and style for men on run way and independant work available more on my Pinterest via http://www.pinterest.com/SomruethaiB/made-in-britain-secondary-research/

After created a prototype for my final I have measure on the size, width and length to create patterns to cut out the fabrics.

After creating my patterns I then go through the manufacture process cutting my fabrics following the information on my patterns on both for both of my leather lining.

I have used the industrial machine throughout my sewing process.

Here are the image of my finished I have changed my bag fastening and the front pocket detail as the was limited. I have decided to create the bag open with just one magnet buttons over the top and weave the front patch pocket instead of using laser cutting. From the changes I have made I quite like the style it has turned out to be but I think if I could changed I would creatively used more techniques and make sure that my work much neater and fitted more into high ends. After all I think my final bag design look quite sporty, I think the handle material type I have used are fitted well and give the bag much more of a sport look.
