CONCEPT NOTE :
THE IRRATIONALITY OF THE ERA IS A FUEL TO THE CONCEPT . ADDING A LITTLE BOND
HERE AND THERE ONLY ADDS TO ABSURDITY OF ERA . PRINTS ON THE SKIRTS USED ARE
AGAIN AN ENHANCED DEVELOPMENT OF WHAT IS ALREADY DONE . THE CHEMICAL BOND
HARNESS ALONG WITH THE DADA PRINT GO BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE THEME. THE COLOURS
USED ARE EXTRACTED FROM CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS AND BONDS WHICH HARMONISE
PERFECTLY WITH THE PRINTS.
CONCEPT NOTE :
THE SUB THEME FOR THE DESIGN IS RUINS . THE IDEA BEHIND THE GARMENT
WAS TO SHOW DESTRUCTION THROUGH CLOTHING . THE SILHOUETTE IS
STILL STRUCTURED AND A LITTLE RESTRICTIVE AS WORN IN THAT ERA .
THE DESTRUCTION IS SHOWN THROUGH THE UNFINISHED WEAVING
ON THE SLEEVES , AND SLASHES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PANTS . THE
COLOR PALATTE USED IS VERY DARK AND DULL AS THE THEME SUGGESTS.
THE GREY'S, WHITES, AND BLACK ADD TO THE MOOD OF THE THEME.
SUSTAINABLE GARMENT
CONCEPT NOTE :
PREMONITION MEANS TO FOR SEE, OR RATHER A STRONG FEELING THAT SOMETHING
PREFERABLY BAD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. WITH THE INCREASE IN GLOBAL WARMING
AND ITS CAUSES , I DECIDED TO TAKE THIS ISSUE AS AN ELEMENT FOR MY SUSTAINABLE
GARMENT . THE NUMBER OF DEATHS OF ANIMALS IS DUE TO THE WRONG DISPOSAL OF
PLASTICS. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN ISSUE AND HENCE STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN.
THE GARMENT IS MADE OUT OF RECYCLED PLASTICS AND PVC AS A FORM OF
SUSTAINABILITY , AS WELL AS AN ELEMENT OF PREMONITION I.E TO FOR SEE. THE
GARMENT HAS 2 LAYERS , THE INSIDE CO- ORD SET IS MADE OF LEFTOVER FABRICS
USED AS PATHCHES TO FORM A GARMENT. THE PATCHES HAVE A PRINT WHICH IS
DEVELOPED BY MERGING THE PAINTINGS OF EMINENT EXPRESSIONISTS.
THIS GARMENT IS SIMPLE YET IMPACTFUL
WEARABLE GARMENT .
CONCEPT NOTE :
THE WORD VULNERABILITY BLENDED VERY WELL AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF ART DECO.
VULNERABLE ARE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESTRICTIVE , REFRAIN FROM OPENING UP.
THAT IS THE EXACT EMOTION / EXPRESSION I TRIED TO ACHIEVE VIA CLOTHING .
THE GARMENT HAS A HEAT PRESS PLEATED SKIRT – THESE PLEATS DON’T OPEN UP
COMPLETELY , JUST LIKE VULNERABLE HUMAN BEINGS . THE JACKET HAS A SYMMETRICAL
ASYMMETRIC CUT WHICH OPENS ONLY SO MUCH THAT U CAN SEE THE GLIMPSE OF THE
TOP UNDERNEATH . AGAIN IN REFERENCE WITH US HUMANS . THE CORDS ATTACHED
AROUND THE WAIST AND ARMS AREA ARE THE INSECURITIES FROM WHICH THEY TRY TO COME
OUT AND OPEN UP HENCE THEY ARE LOSELY TIED . THIS WHOLE GARMENT HAS A STORY TO
TELL IF OBSERVED INTRICATELY.
COSTUME DESIGNING : ACE VENTURA
CONCEPT NOTE :
THE CHARACTER ACE VENTURA IS THAT OF AN ECCENTRIC , POSSIBLY INSANE SELF STYLED,
PET DETECTIVE WHO GIVES UP HIS REGULAR POLICE WORK TO FOCUS MORE ON THE CRIMES
AGAINST ANIMALS . HE COMES ACROSS AS A VERY FUNNY CHARACTER , WITH A WEIRD
SENSE OF FASHION . HE IS A NARCISSIST , FLAMBOYANT , HAS A PYSCHOTIC PERSONALITY ,
AND IS AN EXTREAMLY INTELLIGENT PERSON . THIS WOMENSWEAR GARMENT MADE IS AN EXACT
IMITATION OF THE CHARACTER WITH THE COLORS AND SILHOUETTES .
COSTUME DESIGNING : JOKER (BATMAN)
CONCEPT NOTE :
THE CHARACTER I CHOSE TO GO WITH WAS THE MOST ICONIC VILLAIN IN THE BATMAN
SERIES I.E THE JOKER . THE CHARACTER DRAFT OF THE JOKER WAS THAT OF A
CRIMINAL MASTERMIND , A PSYCHOPATH , A GOOFY PRANKSTER WITH A SADISTIC SENSE
OF HUMOUR. THE OUTFIT MADE FOR THIS CHARACTER IS MENSWEAR , AND
IS A MODERN TAKE ON THE JOKERS CLASSIC PURPLE PANTSUIT . THE COLORS REMAIN
THE SAME BUT THE SILHOUETTES CHANGE . BECAUSE THE CHARACTER IS THAT OF A
CRIMINAL , THE OUTFIT CHOSEN CANNOT BE TOO LOUD AND OUT THERE. THIS MODERN
JOKER HAS A TOUCH OF STREET STYLE TO HIS ATTITUDE WITH DROP CROTCH PANTS
AND SYMMETRIC SHORT BLAZER PAIRED WITH A WHITE LONG SHIRT .
COSTUME DESIGNING: PETER PAN
CONCEPT NOTE :
PETER PAN AND HIS NEVERLAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHILDS BIGGEST FANTASY . HIS FREE
SPIRITED NATURE, MISCHIEFS , HIS ABILITY TO FLY ETC HAVE ALWAYS FASCINATED CHILDREN .
KEEPING THAT IN MIND I CREATED A WOMENSWEAR INSPIRED FROM THE CHARACTR
PETER PAN . IT IS FRESH FUN AND HAS ELEMTS BOTH FROM THE ROMANTISCISM ERA AND
PETER PAN’S ACTUAL OUTFIT.
ISM : RENAISSANCE
SUB THEME : YIN & YANG
CONCEPT NOTE :
IN CHINESE PHILOSOPHY, YIN AND YANG IS A CONCEPT OF DUALISM , DESCRIBING HOW CONTRARY FORCES MAYBE COMPLIMENTARY TO ONE ANOTHER. MY INTERPRETATION OF THIS CONCEPT IS DONE VIA THE USE OF DENIMS AS YIN ( THE BAD) AND SOFTER FABRIC AND SUBTLE COLOR AS YANG( THE GOOD). THE GARMENTS DEPICT DUALITY, LIKE HALF AND HALF . THE COLOR SCHEME IS IN SHADES OF BLUES AND WHITES WITH ONE GARMENT IN THE CLASSIC COLOR SCHEME OF BLACK AND WHITE AS THAT OF THE SYMBOL .THE SILHOUETTES ARE INSPIRED FROM THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD , BUT IN A CONTEMPORARY FORM, THERE BY KEEPING THE ESSENCE OF THE PROJECT i.e. STYLING IN MODERN TERMS.
