THINKING ABOUT CONCEPT

From overviewing my stand experimentation, I have definitely favoured using the pieces of tailoring that I bought from the charity shop. I think this is due to the fact that they are already so defined in terms of their structure, it's more fun and interesting to play and manipulated them and totally reverse their previous aesthetic.

I took this idea and decided to turn it into my concept for this project. Taking the attire of the business man and subversively using it to portray the modern depiction of society's somewhat unmentionables, those with ASBOs and on benefits.

I remember looking through Instagram a while aback and coming across a user called @clothsurgeonstudio who had done the reverse of my concept. They had taken 4 Nike tracksuit bottoms and turned them into a full suit. In an ideal world I would have loved to do the opposite of this. However, realistically speaking time isn't on my side. So I will be focusing my time on making a sweatshirt like piece.
