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.
