Marcin Podsiadło Fall/Winter 2012 collection

“The main inspiration behind the collection was symbolism of genders, depicting them by means of: square, triangle and circle, which became the straint point. While designing and then constructing garments, Marcin Podsiadło was trying to kind of deprive the body of its shapes by giving it a new, geometric character so that the garments wouldn’t fit the body lines but rather create their own forms. Actually all of the garments in the collection were created from square, triangle and circle or the variation of these figures.
While researching, Marcin was  also fascinated with the dependance of figures, and how one can easily be transformed into another by manipulation of their sides. Natural fibres (like : cotton, wool) mixed with synthetics (like: pvc, neoprene, leather and some see-through fabrics), in black tones are dominating in the collection, and emphasize its form.”

interesting installations and creative thinking

Laser experiment

Studio diary week 9

This week I started my popper structures.They are working well.The structures are dynamic too and work well as an accessory or a garment.The structures were laser cut an then I attached the poppers with 5-10cm apart .
My underlying structures will be more simplistic than the original lineup,due to my decision to use projections on the fabrics to create prints rather than using the method of digital printing in my previous collection
I’ve decided to take a very artistic route with my collection. creating new concepts and exploring the theme of light.
I have decided that I would like to apply for a masters In social design so I will be pushing the boundaries within my brief and collating science with art.

Dream the world awake

Studio Diary :Shape handelling

Studio Diary :Outfit 1

Studio diary week 8

• This week I started the lazar cutting process ,using only the shapes that the public created in my response test.After I collected the shapes that were vital to my first outfit I took them straight to the manikin,using handling and manipulation to get the fit.There will not be alot of pattern cutting in my development process.
• I started my undergarment for the popper shapes to attach onto!It could be worn over clothes or without .The undergarment will act as a brace/waist coat.
• The fastening will be magnets (if the strength works) or velcro. The mock up fabric is in a basic cotton with two layers of fusible. Before the structure is put together I will mark on each of the poppers and attach them and also the fastening ,to make the process easier.
• Then sew the garment together.This particular fabric needs no finishing and will be stitched with together and then top stitched for design purposes.
