Minimalist Fashion

 Grunge Fashion

 Flapper Fashion

-----------------------------

These are my 6th, 7th, and 8th concentration pieces representing Minimalist, Grunge, and Flapper (1920s) fashion. At this point I think that I have improved in my ability to create simplistic and successful designs. Especially with the Flapper piece, I think that my use of detail looked more intentional than it did in previous pieces, and overall I think that I am in a good place for moving forward and finishing my concentration.

 Victorian Fashion

 Disco Fashion

Old Hollywood Fashion

------------------------

These are my 3rd, 4th, and 5th concentration pieces representing the Victorian, Disco, and Old Hollywood fashion. I have changed from my original ideas in that I have started trying to simplify my designs. My focus is now more on the visual elements that represent the trend rather than the clothes themselves. I will carry forward the mindset that less is more, and I don't need to include every element that comes to mind in my future pieces.

Punk Fashion

Mod Fashion

------------------------------------------------------------------

These are my first 2 concentration pieces and overall, I am happy with the way they turned out. I originally thought that I would be using traditional fashion figures in most of my pieces, but I realized that in order to make more successful pieces, I should adapt the way I display the fashions to fit with the trend of each individual piece. For example, with the Mod piece, I used a pop art style representative of the 1960s, when this trend was present, and a simplified black and white color palette so as not to become too busy with the colorful, pattern filled background. Going forward, I will continue experimenting with different materials, like how I used actual fabric in the Punk piece, and doing research to find out what way of portraying the fashion will be best for each piece.
