MUSE COLLECTION
THIS COLLECTION WAS INSPIRED BY MY MUSE, VENUS, ROMAN GODDESS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY.
RESEARCH WAS BASED ON THE MANY INTERPRETATIONS OF VENUS.
LOOKS CREATED WERE INSPIRED BY THE BIRTH OF VENUS PAINTING BY SANDRO BOTTICELLI. EACH LOOK IS MEANT TO GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF WETNESS AS VENUS EMERGED FROM OCEAN.
PROCESS PHOTOS + PROBLEM SOLVING
TOILE FOR THE CLAMSHELL TOP. INITIALLY, THE GATHERS WERE TOO TIGHT AROUND THE WAIST AREA.
CHANGED GATHERING AMOUNTS AT SIDE SEAM AND THAT HELPED RELEASE THE STRESS.
THE TOILE FOR PANTS HAD SOME DRAPE ISSUES DUE TO GRAINLINE AND SHAPE OF THE BOTTOM LEG PART
CHANGED THE GRAINLINE TO BE ON TRUE BIAS AND CHANGED SHAPE TO ALLOW FOR BETTER DRAPE. DRAPE ON FINAL FABRIC.
CUT & SEW KNIT TOP WAS DRAPED ON A FORM. DETAILING WAS HAND SEWN TO GIVE “WET” LOOK.
