I am a bit of a philosopher, so I like to play with words. When I wrote imagination in the title case of this post, I literally meant using images to describe what you have in mind: picturing.
When you are creating, you have ideas at first but some words are tricky enough to describe a type of things but not the specifics you had in mind. It is even more important to be precise when you are working within a group. So once we had discussed words like origami, natural dyes, volume, theatricality… We had to show what we meant and Emma put it together to form our marvellous mood-board:
Then everybody started experiencing. Emma researched did some more visual research to give a more personal point of view. (Don’t try this at home if, like me, you are terrible at sketching)
After a few experimentation on our own, we got back together and showed each other what we had been up to. Combining our works in images helped us to get closer to the final look of THE dress.
They say a picture is worth 1000 words. What do you think? Those are the joy of experimentation when you become able of rendering the ideas that pop in your mind. And it’s even more satisfying when every member of a team agrees on it!
