Something I don't often focus on is odd structures and decided to put a lot of effort into this activity in hope that it will help my vision on design expand. Continuing my theme of tennis clothing I used straight lines as in a lot of sportswear there isn't really materials that are loose and flow; rather than include material such as chiffon, cotton is commonly used. I thought this activity was a really good start to the design process as it is different from putting a pencil to a paper and just drawing whatever initial thoughts one might have, this allowed me to see what shapes work best on the shaping of the body. I wanted to use a few of these in my first set of designs in order to limit my choice and see how I can develop the shapes.
Here are some designs I quickly did after this, I wanted to do this immediately after as I then understood what items would work with which lines. I decided to try both classic tennis shaping and some contrasting shapes to avoid looking too similar to traditional sportswear. I am definitely going to use these lines in my final designs, whether they are add material or a print as I find they provide a futuristic effect. Considering the start of my project payed attention to original features, coming to a conclusion on the design process where I will include modern shaping displays development in my project. It shows that sportswear can influence high street fashion despite the context. I want to look at colour now as I don't want to continue with the black and white.
