Fashion sketching....

Fashion Sketch by Vivienne Westwood 1995

So I played with sketching/making the formal sketches of the clothing and models I am creating yesterday. It was really fun but I got the forms of the models down, just bare skin and all, and it seemed so wrong to me to put anything over them. Like they were just beautiful enough minus the clothing I would adorn them with....
What needs to happen is that I need to forget what traditional fashion sketching looks like and do it my way. I am not a fashion designer I am 1st and foremost an artist who loves fabric and playing with fabric. I also love sewing and dressing up. Remembering what it was like to play dress up as a little girl is essential to the success of this project because really it is all about playing in this way.
