fashion & costume show 2011

It was eca fashion show　2011 this week.
Students from year 2,3 and 4 exhibited their works.
I am really impressed their works and some of my collaboration works.

Garments and costumes are lively on bodies, music and performances.
Those works look much greater on bodies rather than on still mannequins.
It is true for jewellery as well. The show was absolutely amazing.

My collaboration with a costume artist, Ilona Russell.

I made those long fingernails.

Also a candies-looking necklace.

The other collaboration with a fashion designer, Vera Chan.
My patinated bangles fit very well on her garments.

Also, I have got a new buddy for my work.
"Doraemon" is a very famous cartoon character in Japan.
He can take innovative tools from the future world from his 4D pocket.
This is a cover for my hard-disc driver.
My sister gave me when I went back home last summer, so cute!

costume and display

I have been thinking some display design for degree show.
I have not decided how to hand or put my works,
but this is the most essential part,
because my works will be shown to the public.

what should I prepare....? how and where and some colours...?? hmmmmm

Those are earrings....

One more collaboration work with a girl in performance costume department,

Ilona Russell. She wants to have a neck piece which looks like candies! 

It looks so sweet!!

her drawings...

and her costume of Peter. I made the nail parts for her!
This work is now on line!

Also some additional things for the fashion collaboration.

I have not made any of those buttons, but just heated by gas torch 

to achieve this texture which the girl in fashion department 

got inspirations from Cambodian temples.

 

I made the other test piece before.

bamboo, roof, nail??

This week, it was such a snowy week I have never experiences in my life.
I didn't mean to come to a snowy country,
but it is really snowy everyday, never stopped!!

This is the work for a collaboration with a costume girl.
She is interested in my work and I am also in her works!
Those are nails, which have never been cut, for a boy, Peter,

I am quite happy with the outcome, although I was thinking to make them
much longer,but it seems scary enough!

Also, this each half tube shape looks like t bamboos or roof tiles,

so I played around to find more potentiality for my own works.

The texture and colour are great!

and snow and snow in the city!
