fashion and heavy metal

So as shown in previous posts, I was one of the designers for MICA's fashion show- Transcend. Here are some photos of the sketches (more like process) from my line!

 some of my sketches are really rough, and some of the actual garments didn't come out how I originally had planned. I'm a very intuitive/improvisational worker, so if something happens while I'm making the garment and I like it, I get re-inspired and sometimes change the whole design haha. It's how I like to do it. Some of the dresses in my line were put together simply by being inspired by different parts of things I made. 

 also, as you can see [above], my mind has too many ideas and thoughts and at times I find myself piling one idea on top of the other..which results in me making a new sketch completely...but hey, it's all about the process. seriously though, there was a point where I just couldn't make anything tangible because there were TOO many ideas and I couldn't settle for anything less than the perfect piece. It all came together in the end, and I wouldn't want my line any other way. 

on a side note: my friend got me the new Godsmack album anddddd I love it. It has some of their old songs along with covers of other songs. can I go see them again in concert? thanks:) haha

this post makes me happy because it involved two of my loves: fashion and heavy metal. perfect way to start the night-- haha my nocturnal self is coming out again...let's hope this doesn't become a problem (we all know it's going to be a problem).
