Unit 111 – Fabric Manipulation | W |
Background: Textile designers are continually striving to produce innovative designs and practical work. These can be used in functional applications such as fashion, accessories, fabrics for the home and interiors. They can also be used in work which does not have a design-led function, such as freestanding structures, soft sculptures and hangings. In the field of textile design, practitioners explore and experiment with different ways of manipulating fabrics. This provides them with the information on the characteristics of both natural and synthetic fabrics. This discovery can then provide them with an invaluable insight and provide them with an innovative basis for their work. In this unit you will work through a series of tasks which will give you more, invaluable knowledge about fabrics and manipulation techniques. You will be introduced a range of new processes which should be explored, recorded and evaluated throughout. This will help you refine your ideas and guide the selection you adopt for your final outcome. | ||
The Brief: For Spring/Summer 2011, the catwalk has seen an explosion of fabric manipulation and over exaggerated design detailing. Theses features include bows, collars, pleats, tucks, ruffles and detailed embellishments. As a designer, the possibilities are endless and in this project you will be given an opportunity to create your very own, fashion statement by creating a garment front suitable for a glitzy ‘Red Carpet’ event. You will be invited to view 3 influential films and in response, produce work which reflects your own particular area of interest; an outcome which is inspired by the storyline, era or costume. In addition to this, you will look at current catwalk trends and reflect your finding through your work. Chose from –
Throughout this project you will be working as a textile designer. In this industry, designs for fashion are usually shown as garment fronts only and for very specific market-led briefs. These creative’s, do not interest themselves with the technical detailing needed to manufacture 3D shapes and structures, their remit is, to create ideas that showcase their skilled craftsmanship. The design houses concerned, who commission this type of work, will then reinvent these and adapt them for their own in-store ranges. You will be introduced to a series of activities where you will explore the physical properties of certain fabrics and fibres. You will carefully analyse these and consider this in conjunction with the processes you explore. You will need to record how you have created your own ‘fabrics’ and applied them to your garment front. To support these activities you will complete a project evaluation form. | ||

Unit Assessment Outcomes: Unit 111 – Fabric Manipulation On completion of this unit a learner should:
Grading Criteria: To achieve a pass grade the evidence must show that the leaner is able to: P1: Use and recognise the properties and characteristics of fabrics when producing fabric manipulation samples P2: Use techniques and processes when producing a body of samples P3: Evaluate samples throughout the stages of development To achieve a merit grade the evidence must be show that the leaner is able to: M1: Consistently produce development work, tests and samples that show understanding and purpose in adapting ides M2: Effectively analyse, review and refine a diverse range of ideas and well-considered processes at relevant stages M3: Effectively produce a coherent range of effective outcomes to a given brief or scenario To achieve a Distinction grade the evidence must be show that the leaner is able to: D1: Independently manipulate a comprehensive range of fabrics to produce a creative and imaginative set of samples D2: Perceptively analyse, review and refine a comprehensive range of ideas and sophisticated processes at relevant stages D3: Independently produce a sophisticated response and exciting range of innovative outcomes to a given brief or scenario Please note: All unit grading criteria is available to view on your course Blackboard site. |

Above is the brief for the sixth project.
Below is an arrangement of my work in the same order that I have presented it in my portfolio.
This project was based around textiles.
The following images are of my research and why I am inspired by Marie Antoinette with annotation.
The next four images are my final samples to be considered for my garment front, complete with annotation.
The next images are my design development and my final garment front.
I achieved a Distinction grade for this project.
