Wonderland: Photoshoot

Mory R.

We made a heart shaped locket necklace with a digital frame inside. the outside part is made of Wood with a gold color chain. When you open the locket you’ll see the digital photo frame in a heart shape and a slideshow of the images will begin.


For making this necklace we would first change some of the ideas we didn’t like or that were not practical from the prototype, after doing this we’ll measure the size of the necklace so that we can start cutting the pieces. Then we’ll have the digital drame designed in a way that it fills out the whole heart shape in one side but at the same side that the shape doesn’t cut any part of the image, after we have this done we will start attaching the wood surface to the inside and outside part of the pendant. then we will put a metal thing so that you can open but also to keep it close very firm.


"The reason we chose to create a photo locket necklace is because we feel that for people who have had such great memories with their loved ones and now that even though they may be gone, they should still be remembered. By making a photo locket necklace, people can feel free to review all great memories they have have once shared any time they want. 

Inspired by Elie Saab.

Review Of Finished Garment.

In this project, I was to create an armor based on the event I have chosen. This garment I was asked to create has to be made out of paper.

Before I started brainstorming ideas, I went to the Metropolitan Museum and looked at their armors collection.
 
 
                                   
Finally, I created an armor that provides protection from sadness. When I started brainstorming ideas, I had thought about protection from cancer instead, because that was what my grandma died from. But then I realized everyone has to die one day anyway, from cancer or not. So instead I came to this idea of protection from depression. Because I think its important to be able to move on even when the most important person is gone. So that's how I got the idea.

So how can be protect ourselves from sadness? Maybe to create a happy dreamy world for ourselves.

So I created this dreamy and flowy dress with some really light colored tissue paper.

Impossible Conversations.

After headed to the "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations"special exhibition at the Met, it got me thinking....

If I could have one conversation with an artist/designer to talk about my creative process, who would it be?

First person that came across my mind was Elie Saab.

Friends who know me well would have easily guessed, because of my deep, crazy, intense obsession I have of him for a long time.

For people who do not know Elie Saab (which you all should), here is a little introduction of him. ;) so maybe you guys can fall in love with him too.

Elie Saab

Elie Saab, sometimes known as 'ES', is a lebanese fashion designer. He is a self-taught fashion talent. He started sewing as a child, already making clothes for his sister. As a teenager later, he started selling his own creations to the women in his neighbourhood. In 1981, he moved to Paris to study Fashion, but ended up returning and opening his workshop after a year, launched his Beirut-based fashion label when he was only 18 years old at that moment.

In 1997, Saab became a member of the Italian Camera Nazionale della Moda and he was the first non-Italian designer ever to do that. However, he was not a known designer until Halle Berry introduced him to the world at the 2002 Oscars, which made him an overnight star.

Saab is famous for mixing Arabic and Western influences, he uses materials like taffeta, organza and satin intertwined with liquid fabric muslin and lace, which gives people a strong sense of cleanliness and simplicity.

When I was first introduced to this designer, I was completely stunned by his style and talent. I saw exactly what a person I want to be. I was not only inspired by his designs but him as a designer, as a person. I want to get to know him. I would ask him how he did it, how he overcame all these challenges to be where he is now, how he never gave up on his way, how he achieved what he achieved... I have so, so many questions that I want to ask him.
