Awards Season

No, I have not given up designing nor have I given up on the challenge I have undertaken. Over the past few weeks I have been trying something new w.r.t my designs. As most of you know I am extremely inspired by movies and right now its the Awards season in both Hollywood and Bollywood. So, I am trying my hand at red carpet creations.

This is the most difficult designing I have done so far. When I first began designing these dresses, they were super crappy. I wanted to design dresses that were unique and that were not seen on red carpet before. But one after the other each dress I designed seemed like it would earn a place on the 'Worst Dressed' list.

So for the first time I did some research (I know I should do it more often) on what should go into designing a elaborate garment. The answer was form, function and structure. With this knowledge and multiple visits to eonline's fashion police, I figured that using plain colors to depict red carpet creations was not adequately representing the form or the structure. I needed texture and patterns. With some new plug ins in my open source paint.net I was ready to go...

This is still not my best attempt at designing, but I have put up my progression. From the crappy red carpet dresses to some what decent designs. Please leave comments on what you think.
