VOLUME - PLUMAGE

MADSDINESEN Fall Winter 2011

I began to look at plumage and mark making, and its connection within in fashion. The depth and volume of the feathers around the neck is interesting and the placement on and around the body is assertive.

Scale and effect on the body

 

 

 

 

 

Taking inspiration from wool roving, I created samples on the chunky domestic machine. The roving gave instant volume and much effect. I began to mix different yarns in to change its soft fluffy appearance for a more edgy effect, also thinking about placement on the body and garment style.
