January 11, 2010 robynshackleton

over christmas we got given a breif for sashiko japanese textiles…so i have been researching the cultures and history about sashikos..

and kimonos…making process samples and experimenting with diffrent materials for different illustrations.

I also have been working on my lecture studies for jane where i have created handouts for the class for my presentations..

we had to choose two fashion illustrators…one past illustrator and one modern illustrator.

I chose Rene Gruau for my past illustrator ..i loved his work it is very unique and different using a very sketchy yet neat manor for his illustrations…it also looks very modern even tho his work is quite old.

my modern illustrator is lauren Bishop who is great too she has worked with ikea, topshop, harrods and many more ..also for designers advertising there products in a unique way…

So today i will be going to the library to get some more info and research on japanese sashiko.
