Week 3- Leggings
- Construct a fitted pair of women’s generic leggings using a two way stretch fabric, experimenting with a variety of ways to apply waist elastic.
- Use the idea of body experiments, extensions and distortions to create a new pair of leggings which may alter the body in some way. To do this will experiment with different ways the form and shape of a pair of leggings can be change, documenting development in a series of photos.
Leggings are such a versatile garment, used for physical activity, worn under a dress or a skirt, or worn as pants with a top (which is not always well liked in the fashion world, especially the newer hybrid the jeggings).
I really liked how these basic leggings are made using the same principle yet when printed they look so different.

I was really taken by the images show in class last Friday by Lucy and Bart, I love their use of different materials to change the way the form of the body can be manipulated. These were just some of the images that really stimulated me to think of ways to depict the generic legging.

I came across these garments by Japanese Balloon Artist Daisy ( Rei Hosokai )when looking for motivation relating to exaggerated and manipulated clothing forms to inspire me to explore different shapes with the leggings task.

I really like the idea of using ballons to manipulate the form of a leggins. I would like to experiment with ballons and prehaps water bombs when completing the task body experiments, extensions and distortions.
Below is another example of how ballons have been used to create garments.I like how different sized ballons have been used and how a mixture of sizes has created so many different shapes around the body.
