Zip Skirt

My skirt is the first garment I have manufactured on my fashion course, in which I was to have a concept behind my design and ideas. I looked in to various designers and artists from the likes of Vivviene Westwood to Graffitti artist Banksy.
Designing my skirt was a little difficult but from my experience in my patteren cutting lessons I used what knowledge I had learnt but accidentally forgot to put in any darts. Whoops!
To begin with I thought my skirt was going to be easy to manufacture as it was just a simple 'A' line skirt; Boy was I wrong!
I had decided to put my zip in the front of my skirt instead of the back. I thought this would be a great feature and convay's my concept of rebelious nicely as customers expect to find the zip at the back of a garment or at least hidden in the front! My ain was to go against public perception.
I wanted to also capture shock potential like that of Photographer Nan Goldin. I also wanted to capture vulnerability through the position of the zip on the skirt. Which is in fully working order.
My target audience is age 14-18 as I believe my skirt is youthful and looks rebelious.
I enjoyed maufacturing my skirt and am pleased with the outcome.
