Thinking about the display of my work.
Display Options: Clothing Rack, Economic Hangers, Torso Injection Mold Hangers, Mannequins, Wall Hooks, Stop-Motion Film, Illustrations, Editorial Spread/Photography, Framed Before/After Photography of the Metamorphosis
After weighing the pros and cons of all these options, I've decided that the mannequins, film, and framed editorial photography will NOT be part of my final display. I will not have enough size 2 mannequins for the display of 6-8 garments. As for the stop-motion film, documenting 50-100 different alterations of one garment would slow down, if not completely impair me. Instead of concentrating on design and construction, I would be running back and forth between sewing studio and photo studio trying to document every small step in the process. Though I would love to capture metamorphosis in this way, it's too complicated. Perhaps I can still document the metamorphosis in a simpler way. Lastly, I've discussed why the editorial spread is a no-go in my last blog post.

Now here's an image I found interesting. Displays how construction workers hang their clothes at the end of a day's work. Perhaps my clothes can be hung from the ceiling?
And another similar reiteration below.
More common ways I could display my clothes below.
And if I hang my clothes in any which way, should I display them on common hangers or torso hangers that give form to the garments? Here's an example of what I've considered ordering.

ReplyDeleteHave you thought about hiring real models? They could serve hors d'œuvres!
The coat hangers are kind of unexciting, but I really like the construction worker solution.
i like the construction worker idea: but the way you display the clothes definitely should relate to the collection.
