As my profile says it all ..... I am a fashion designer with 15 years of experience in designing and teaching .
This is the story when my friend who had to perform in a dance show requested me to design a garment for her . She has a figure I would kill for ! She loves dancing and she approached me expecting a professional help and design . I had to do justice not only to her expectation but also my designing skills which had been rusting for quite some time . I love my work , I love designing which had taken a back seat for around five years but I like you don't forget how to ride a bicycle even after years I didn't forget how to design . I was still a designer at heart and I had to prove this to myself . I wanted to experiment with my designing skills and poses . I had little knowledge about her dance and it was important for me to know the dance first before I pulled out my sketchbook and started designing as I am not much a dance entusiast . So I went to see her dancing to understand different poses which would allow me to design the perfect garment that not only complemented her figure but also gave her an edge over the others .
First I made a mood board which would allow me to understand the concept .
First I made a few poses and then short listed one pose :
Finally I decided to give her a sequined dress with sequined stilettos which would play with the lights and add drama to her dance . Since I got a seamstress to sew the garment now I had to work on the footwear . I used scraps from the fabric of her dress and glued it to her stilettos . It looked amazing . It perfectly complemented her garment .She got lots of complements for her dance and her dress which helped me to get a few orders ! So my designing took off again .......
I thought I should share this design and the story ;-)
