Construction:
Third Piece of the ensemble, I utilized wires to construct it.
The first piece of the wearable is the skirt, which is made out of wires and wire circles together.
The second piece made of wire and taffeta, the wire was carefully hand sew onto the fabric.
WRITTEN REFLECTION:
The odd one out.
The original idea of the designed piece was to connect me with Klaus Nomi. I had the intention of being the weirdo amongst the group just like Klaus Nomi. In the seminar research paper, I found out that Klaus Nomi was not being identified as human beings by others, he was always the attention of the group, since he was weird in every way. Thus my design was weird and bulky enough that everyone would look at me on the street. The function of the piece of design can be a theatrical performance piece since it is not an everyday wearable. Moreover, the materials utilized in the projects are mostly taffeta and wires. The reason why I chose to use taffeta was that it had this reflective and spacy look to it, and Klaus Nomi was identified as an object coming from the outer space, which can connect with him in this part. The wires that I chose was actually the words that were hurting him by the public, however, he turned the criticisms into considerations and made it his style. The design of the project stayed the same from the beginning to the end. However more concepts were added to the design. In the process of the project, I learned that constructing was not as easy as it seems. Nothing can be done quickly with the rush, I had to be patient, and carefully plan everything out, thus it would be easier when it comes to sewing. I think I did my best in this project, the only thing that I want to improve is the process photos, I should really start taking photos when I am making.
