I baked a PIE and made a DRESS!!

Well baked a whole pie and made half a dress. I'm hoping to finish the dress by the end of the week. I've talking about the integration of jewellery and clothing so the line between the two does not exist. They should be worn together. They must need each other. As seen in the work of Donna Karan and Robert Lee Morris. I'm not a fashion designer or seamstress in other words I'm not good at sewing. This will not be world's best design in terms of fashion, but I'm hoping the jewellery will make up for that.
The pie was great by the way!!!

Integration

When speaking with Nokwanda I realised that integrating these two design disciplines would not be easy. I had an idea in my head and I wanted it work. She was telling me how it couldn't work. Maybe I just wanted her to just make it happen. I have to find a better way to work as a team. And I will be workin with her on a dress for the July Horse race in July.

In the meanwhile Since I want what I want, I'll try my had at making a dress. I have made dresses before. So I'll be the jeweller and the fashion designer. Above are sketches for two dresses I will attemp to make. Good luck to me!

And the Word is...

Collaborations means working together with a common goal. This means that a goal had to have been decided before the work begins. Both parties must have agreed and participated in the forming of the goal.

I feel collaboration is a factor to be considered when designing for a fashion show. The decided goal will determine the level of integration of the two disciplines.

Featured Jeweller - Robert Lee Morris

Robert Lee Morris collaborated with Donna Karan since 1985. They worked together, integrating jewellery into a collection of clothing instead of lending jewellery to a designer to add onto clothing. Even though Robert Lee Morris has created and continues to create his own jewellery, he works with fashion designers to create jewellery for specific collections.
