- OUR CONCEPT IS ABOUT A SELF-CONFIDENT WOMAN WHO STANDS OUT AND LETS HER INNER SELF/INNER GLOW BE SHOWN. WE WANT TO USE PAPER FOR BOTH OF OUR CONCEPTS. THIS DRESS WILL BE ALL WHITE AND USE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PAPERS. THE BODICE WILL HAVE FABRIC UNDERNEATH (PROBABLY A THICK MUSLIN) FOR STRUCTURE, THEN WE WILL SEW ROLLED TISSUE ON TOP IN VARIOUS DIRECTIONS TO CREATE AN INTERESTING PATTERN. “NEVER HIDE” WILL BE MADE OF TISSUE AS WELL AND BLEND WITH THE TOP. THE SKIRT WILL BE SEPARATE AND HAVE WIRING WITH FABRIC UNDERNEATH AS WELL. WE WILL DECORATE IT WITH LARGE TISSUE PAPER FLOWERS, AND HOPEFULLY ADD LIGHTING UNDERNEATH FOR A GLOWING EFFECT.
CONCEPT 2: IN THE SHADOWS
- THIS CONCEPT IS THE OPPOSITE OF OUR FIRST ONE. IT’S ABOUT A WOMAN LACKING ANY CONFIDENCE OR SELF-ESTEEM. WE ORIGINALLY WANTED A SPIDERWEB LOOK TO THIS DRESS, BUT NOW ARE FOCUSING MORE ON A DECAYING/DE-STRUCTURED THEME. THE DECAYING IDEA RELATES MORE TO THE IDEA THAT THIS WOMAN HAS NO SELF WORTH AND IS MENTALLY/EMOTIONALLY FALLING APART. WE WILL BE USING RIPPED AND DYED PAPERS LIKE TISSUE, TYPING PAPER, TISSUE PAPER, AND WHATEVER ELSE GIVES OFF A CRUMPLED AND DECAYING LOOK. THE LETTERS WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIDDEN IN THE BACK OF THE DRESS. THEY WILL BE CUT OUT OF FOAM BOARD TO HAVE A 3D APPEARANCE. THE TOP IS STILL TBD. WE WILL EXPERIMENT WITH A VARIETY OF FABRICS AND PAPERS TO GIVE OFF A RIPPED/DRAMATIC TOP, WHICH ALSO GIVES A SLIGHT SPIDERWEB LOOK WITHOUT BEING TOO LITERAL.
