Y11 Textiles students visited the 'Dirty Looks' exhibition at the Barbican. The exhibition provided students with inspiration for their current coursework unit entitled Fragments. The exhibition showcased fashion garments which questions what beautiful fashion is and what fashion can be. The exhibition features fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Miguel Adrover, who examine cultural, political and environmental issues associated with fashion.
Y11 Textiles students are currently working on designing and creating a 'deconstruct reconstruct' garment where they collect various unwanted garments, take them apart and then transform them into something new and exciting. The exhibition features many garments which were constructed using a range of unwanted garments and objects, providing students with creative ideas on how to construct their own creations.
