Artefact – Fashion

Before today’s lecture on Survey 7, I was assigned as a designer to cover fashion between the years 1905 and 1915, which is the period of Cubism and Corporate Identity.

I am supposed to create an artefact relating to this general topic. As such, I have decided to research the fashion designer known as Paul Poiret. Having a brief glimpse of Poiret’s work, I find him to be quite avant-garde.

I will be creating multiple fashion ‘sketches’ of his designs on separate sheets of paper. For the final ‘spread’, I intend to photograph the ‘sketches’ on a flat surface and place objects that relate to fashion in that time period for aesthetic (on one page).

Another page will have a document, written in first-person, by ‘Paul himself’, writing about his life and his own thoughts on general fashion and his own design process.

Looking forward to creating this artefact, in the meantime, I will be getting my research done!
