Fashion | Concepts inspired by Roy Lichenstein

The next part of the fashion cycle was to create a 

number of body art designs in the style of your chosen

artist. Using secondary sources such as magazine

cut outs and printed images of models the task was

to create a number of designs on multiple models.

 

During the process each of our completed

designs would be tagged onto the front 

wall to slowly build up a compilation of

each persons work (Above). The variety

of media as well as artists was incredible

ranging from black and white media to

vibrant full coloured media.

Two examples of the initial concepts

I produced. Using different types of

materials such as glossy paper and

sticky notes I tried to re-create

Lichtenstein's iconic pop art style.

Examples of other peoples work pinned to the wall.

I particularly like the 3D effects people pursued to

dynamically change there designs (Above).

Later designs I created taking inspiration from

work pinned to the wall experimenting with 3D

forms through folding and scrunching (Above). 

A particular design I really took inspiration

from.I love the sharp edges of the folds

and scrunches creating an awesome design.

I also love the material used a sit gives

a reflective glossy appeal that counters

the model and the background nicely.

Subsequently after designing

multiple body form pieces we

had to brainstorm ideas that

we would go on to fabricate out

of paper based materials.

Therefore, I decided to base

my designs very heavily on

Lichtenstein's work  because

of it's bold pop art style. Finally

I decided to create my design

of a head piece that took the

typographical style of Lichtenstein's

work as well as the vibrant colour
of the explosion depicted in the BLAM!
painting. Additionally, I loved the idea of
having an explosion in the style of
Roy Lichtenstein erupting from
someone's head.
