deconstructed trench





Indonesian born designer Veliani's deconstructed trench coat.
I really like the huge sleeve silhouette but I'm not really sure about the round patterns around the bust. It sort of looks silly.
However, it is a very innovative design and inspiring!

Deconstructing an old trench coat





Deconstructing an old trench coat



Nothing has been cut yet, I did not just wanted to crop it out.
I sort of getting some ideas about how I should PLAY around with this garment!

Draping with upside down trench coat.




Half of the bust part was pleated and still investigating on the other half.

The silhouette project




This is 80's trench coat which my aunt used to wear back in the day when she was my age :)
It was sent it from a long way from Korea.

Sadly, I had to deconstruct this historical garment to get on with the silhouette project.

Colour inspiration




There is something very intriguing about the raindrops on windows...

I really like the variety of green colour as I will be using slightly different greens in my colour palette.

Quirky Phography



Here are some photographs by Gemma Booth.

I think I can totally feel the ugly beauty in these photos which I'm loving it!!!
Bare feets, hair down showing no face.

femininity and fragility....

It's just full of freshness..!!

World war 1



This is an image from world war 1.
I think it's fascinating how our modern clothes are referenced from historical moments.
Trench coat was originally made for military uniform so I was looking at various military uniforms.
Most of the coats featured raglan or drop shoulder sleeves.
There are endless possibilities that could be altered from the original military uniforms. So I highlighted the main features and little alteration on the collar.
