METaphorical Fashion Design 1/2 @LiberationDP

Fight/Flight/Freeze/Fawn in Nature:

Plants and animals already wear their responses to danger - how can we be inspired by some of these traits to make clothing that represents how we respond to stress in our environment?

Translating those responses into Runway Fashion:

What stress responses do you notice in each of these outfits?

Now it is your turn to design an outfit about how YOU respond to stress:

1. When you get frustrated/nervous/uncomfortable, what do you do?

2. What does that frustration/nervousness/discomfort feel like?

3. What kind of textures, shapes and colors would show that feeling?

*Discuss/Demo some shape language and texture with the group on chart paper

Fashion Design Process:

 

Today is about sketching some ideas and coming up with a plan - next week we will use our brainstorm to flesh out a single design with different kinds of materials. 

Projected timeline for project completion: 3 sessions
