Barbara Hoijtink, @dutchladyone Design 1o1 Redux Day 26 07-12-2015 Monday #DressImpeccably and #Design1o1Redux What will I do today? This week is called “My Clothes” and you will spend it “dressing up” Yes indeed, you will plan and make an outfit that tells something about yourself. And then, you will “dress yourself up” as a little person and (on Friday) organize a photoshoot for all of us to see. We say “little person” because, we won’t be dealing with the full human 1:1 scale. We choose to go for an easier challenge and make an outfit for a little “paper doll” Once you have your reference and drawn pattern ready, share your 2 images on Instagram Here my inspiration.Not a pattern I am so arrogant to think that I don#t need it. I learned sewing the hard way. In a childrens-home, with the nuns Spent hours and hours behind the machine. This picture is from Sacha Chua, Flickr

It expresses perfectly what my questions are

Day 26 07-12-2015 Monday #DressImpeccably and #Design1o1Redux Here my pattern It’s not about being the hippest kid in town. We don’t care about that. It’s about finding things that fit “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel I added an extra piece for a hat. I don´t wear them, but do love them The triangle shaped thing is an extra inlay It belongs to the skirt, to flash a nice contrasting fabric Makes the skirt more elegant The back won´t have the V-neck, it will be straight

I plan to make a real mini-outfit

Day 27 08-12-2015 : Tuesday #CrepeOrNeoprene and #Design1o1Redux ! What will I do today? “A piece of fabric can get me going,” says Anna Sui. Today, from a rainbow of materials,textures and colours, you will handpick the fabric(s) needed to make your outfit To deal with very flexible materials sometimes calls for rigid decision making. And sometimes not… It all depends on your touch! No fabric for me I know, I am always doing the opposite I have worked with fabrics as an upholsterer for 25 years. So I am up to a new challenge Snake-skin!!! My boyfriend found the thrown of skin of a snake in our garden And that I am going to use For me it is interesting to see that the belly has a complete different pattern then the back

My choice of materials. Snake-skin and gold

Day 28 09-12-2015 Wednesday: #BeingAliveToday and#Design1o1Redux What will I do today? Today, you will merge / overlay the fabric(s) you found yesterday to the print the whole thing out on paper and prepare your outfit’s paper model Ok, that are 2 jobs Dressing up is not about couture. It’s about our very own wearable skins Here the pattern, From “wearable skin”, yes the snake Something to remember: First, you need to learn the rules. Then, you need to forget about them... I did learn the rules But did not use a real pattern, I have drawn the pattern from my fantasy Simple model, special material

I used an old Burda pattern as background

Actually a special pattern. the one I used to make the real dress for the final show form the first Design1o1 Then It was all about blue flowers. today its gold and snake. what does it say about me? I love luxury Here second picture, since it was a double job I want to show as well the pattern, as the result I laminated all the pieces, and then taped them together Here you see her outfit from the front The back is different And the hat can be wear in many many ways.

Step one, the outfit

Day 29 10-12-2015 Thursday: # LadyGagaHeadToToe and #Design1o1Redux What will I do today? Today, you will choose the person that will wear your outfit. Will it be you? A famous or imaginary person? Who will your “model” be? Question of the day: Design as spectacle? Once again, it all starts from a story. “The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today,” McQueen According to the legend Eve was the first woman to wear clothes true or not? I have decided to dress her up in my snake-skin outfit I used bits and pieces from a painting from Cranach_the_Elder_ Adam_and_Eve

Public domain in Warsaw, Poland

And again, one picture too many I have to in order to show what I have done What Eve did. Imagine how the world would be if she had made these choices back then She got a haircut finished her apple And choose another position.

Eve ready for the fashion shoot

Day 30 11-12-2015 Friday: # RealFantasies and #Design1o1Redux What will I do today? Today, you will make a photoshoot. Question of the day: To dare, or not to dare? “It’s time to be bold,” says Miuccia Prada. In the world of fashion and things, we would say: “go ahead and dare!” Dare to create identity. Playing with images and collages and experimenting with new possibilities. Fashion is about creating real fantasies! Expressing a look and writing a story with images. And today is the best time for you to dare. It’s dressing up and photoshooting time!

Getting ready for the big shoot

I am showing here several pictures So that you can see the outfit properly On the previous page a good look at the outfit, here the fantsy-world
