The cutting class homework

Pattern making: I have found an article called ‘Calvin Klein Pocket Bags.’ I personally think that this is a great idea as I also did this but on my t-shirt and not on an over-shirt. My pockets were smaller than the ones shown on the model as they were designed to fit my personal belongings and not the average persons.

The garment was first introduced at the Autumn-Winter 2018, it features a bulky pocket which looks like it would be a rough oval shape. At the top, with a curved edge along the zip line that continues in a circular seam into the armhole. It is shaped with darts or a gusset to give it a boxy shape.

Sewing and construction: I have found an article about Yeezy SS16. They talk about if it is good or not to have bad finishes, personally I think that it is good to have bad finishes as it shows that you’re human and people can relate to that tee or hoodie much more than a T-shirt with another T-shirt on it.

They talk about how the jacket has wavy zips and wonky seams which reach different lengths. They talk about whether the designer was technically wrong when making the jacket or if it was done by purpose, and as I am a fan of Kanye it was definitely on purpose. Kanye loves to make things that no one else is confident enough to make as they think it won’t succeed. He is guaranteed sales from his hardcore fans so he can put out anything stress free and know that it will sell. Luckily for him people actually really liked the distressed look of the wavy jacket which then lead to him releasing more as well.

Fabrics and textiles: I have found a post about the details in Stine Goya’s floral prints. Personally I really like these as they look extremely complicated to make but go really well with the overall vibe of the outfit. They compliment the other pieces because of the amount of work that you know they’ve had to put in to make them.

There is a lot of designers that make this style and yet get little credit for their making of the garments as the styles feel approachable and wearable which gives them a bigger market but unfortunately makes people look past what goes into them.
