Fashion Inspired By Cars

This project explored the relationship between luxury supercar designs and chic fashion. This is inspired by slick silhouettes of cars and the different textures that cars use with precise engineering. I translate the contouring of cars into elements that can work with clothes on the body. I want my garments to express power, control, and dominance.

MOOD BOARDS

A MOOD BOARD I CREATED BASED ON THE SILHOUETTES OF CARS AND USING THAT INSPIRATION FOR SHAPING OF MY CLOTHING
A MOODBOARD BASED OFF OF MATERIALS THAT REPRESENT SPORTS CARS AND HOW THEY CAN BE USED IN CLOTHES
A MOOD BOARD FOCUSING ON THE ENVIRONMENT OF CARS AND HOW THIS CAN BE USED FOR CLOTHING
I USED PHOTOS OF CRAS AND CLOTHING AND SKETCHED OVER PARTS THAT I COULD SEE A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TWO
MAINLY PANEL LINES AND MESH IN CLOTHING AND CARS

EXPERIMENTATION

I EXPERIMENTED WITH PANEL LINES ON THIS LONG SLEEVE TOP, BY USING TAPE TO ACCENTUATE SPECIFIC PARTS OF THE BODY TO CREATE A STRONG SLEEK SILHOUETTE
I USED FOIL, THE GLOSSY AND MATTE SIDE TO PRACTICE ON THE EFFECT IT GIVES TO SHAPE CLOTHING AND BRING IN SOME CAR ELEMENTS
HERE I CONTINUED WITH FOIL BUT TOOK A DIFFERENT APPROACH AND USED IT AS ACCENTS AND MADE THE SEMI CIRCLES TO REPRESENT HEADLIGHTS
I USED THICK CARD AND PINS TO CREATE STRUCTURE FOR THE UNDER-BOOB AND FOR SHOULDERS, LIKE THE STRONG STRUCTURE OF SOME SPORTS CARS.
HERE I MADE CUT OUTS IN THE TOP TO SHOW NEGATIVE SPACE THAT A LOT OF LOW PROFILE CARS HAVE, SUCH AS THE GAP BETWEEN THE BOOT AND SPOILER, AND THE OVAL IN THE BACK OF THE TOP TO REPRESENT GRILLS IN A CAR FRONT.
I USED THE IDEA OF MESH ROOF IN A CAR TO LAYER MESH PIECES OVER DIFFERENT CLOTHES AND SEE THE BOLD CONTRAST IT GIVES IN RELATION TO SPORTS CARS

SKETCHES

I SKETCHED OUT A BODY IN A POSITION TO SHOW HOW CLOTHES DRAPE AND SIT.
I DEVELOPED MY SKETCHES FURTHER TO SHOW MPRE DEPTH AND CONTRAST AND WHERE THE LIGHT HITS
THESE ARE SOME OF MY IDEAS OF GARMENTS INSPIRED BY CARS I COUD CREATE
CONTINUATION OF CAR INSPIRED CLOTHES
