Major Studio Project Critique

CO N CEP T My concept revolves around the idea of taking popular design from the past and combining it to modern styled apparel. Vintage design/ patterns have been on the rise for a while now, and alot of clothing imitates these by making new prints inspired by these designs. So in essence they are no longer vintage but more retro. Therefor I came to the conclusion that it would be better to source and use actuall vintage fabrics for my t-shirts. The material I source will be used to make sleeve´s and pockets on single colored t-shirts.

O N E T WO T H R E E There are three steps to my concept, first of all I start out by sourcing the fabrics from second hand stores/ thrift shops. The criteria for my fabrics is that they must be real vintage. Anything from the 60´s, 70´s, 80´s and early 90´s. I will be looking for physcadellic, funky, alternative designs/patterns.

Step two is cutting the fabric so that it can be attached to the sleeve of a new single colored t-shirt and then a piece for the pocket.

Step three is simply sewing the vintage fabrics to the t-shirt.
