Make Do By Mend

Vogue UK November 2009 Make Do By Mend By Tim Walker,
La Cuisine C’est Chic
  Its official I’m a Tim Walker fan! This is my most favourite pictorial of his to date. I couldn’t choose a favourite they are all too amazing! It’s a wild, wild fashion fixation they’ve created, throwing rubber gloves and tea towels into fashion, it’s crazy. It makes you wonder what you can pick out, and blend together from your current wardrobe to get that stylish! So fashionable, like you’ve never seen before!

Shoe Project: Art & Design Foundation


FIERCE
ATTITUDE
DELICACY
ENERGY
LUXURIOUS


I came across a poem, including this very distinctive group of words which I chose to use as my theme for this project. I realised some of these words are contradicting, but I used this to create a very distinctive collection.

Observational Drawings
I have used a range of media including markers, pencil, water colour and ink to create a range of effects within this piece of work. Although i like the bold tones which the marker creates,i think the pencil and ink are more suited to the theme, because you can see the lines in the drawing which i think look more energetic.


Inspiration Board 
I collected a range of images which I thought suited my chosen theme. Lily - delicate, Tiger/Panther -Energy Fierce and the fashion photo shoot represents attitude.

 
Design Development
My design development is again based around my theme, I have tried to capture the words in my drawing, creating bold lines and shading to try and create the effect of burst of energy and movement.


Final Illustration
I have chosen my favourite pair of stilettos from my collection in my final illustration. I tried to keep the colours to a minimum to help the shoes to really stand out boldly, I think I have managed to do successfully; my favourite aspect is the tiger effect on the girls’ face which I also think looks effective against her smoky grey hair.
