Swatch 6......

Pattern

Drama comes under  the category of performing arts which lead to music, dance and drama. These studs or leads have been able to showcase the variation(music), movement(dance) and the pattern of drama. I have used gold net as the base, as it is one of his signature colours.

Show Girls

Hello again! This image of my swatch also depicts my experience of when I went to Las Vegas and saw the show girls who were very theatrical about their looks. I have used gold spray paint as the background and put red feathers diagonally to showcase Mcqueen's style.

Swatch 4

Armadillo Heels

One of the most recognised changes brought about Mcqueen, these were also worn by Lady Gaga through one entire concert performance. I have used beads of 2 slightly different colours to give it a 3D look. They definitely have a dramatic effect on me.

Swatch 3

Lips

Different way of putting lipstick all over the mouth is to grab the audiences attention. For this I have used M-Seal and spray painted it red and made lips using outliner, the gold background just falls in place perfectly!

Hope you like this post of mine

Fashion Illustrations...

Very few of these drawings, whether from his student days or from his professional career, have been published or researched before. Therefore, they offer a rare glimpse into McQueen's design process. 

Acting both as private musings and as tools of communication within the studio, the drawings performed a number of functions.

They indicated McQueen's initial thoughts; facilitated conversations between members of the design team; and, at the outset, established the tone, atmosphere and creative direction of a particular collection.

He just knew what all to design as, that was the way of expressing his feelings and emotions. He had also inspired a number of people by his illustrations and by converting them into the real designs that the audience would buy, that would even be a better feeling!!!
