TPS X NW clothing design and production

Around a week before the exhibition, the samples arrived. All designs were to the standard that the brand offers, apart from one. The collaborative square illustration titled gone home wasn’t suitable once embroidered, due to the detail of the design the stitches were very thin and hard to distinguish the design, however this design was also ordered as a printed piece on a black t-shirt as can be seen in figure 2, as well as on tote bags (see figure 3). Figure 1 shows the sundown design, the quality and positioning of the designs was felt to be appropriate however the prints on the sleeves seemed to get lost within the vibrancy of the design.
The use of vibrant colours was thought to be really appropriate for the brands audience however when it came to releasing the collection, stock of the gold t-shirts was unavailable and so it couldn’t be released to the public.

The 1512 design as can be seen in figure 4 was believed t o be the most successful and thought out piece of the whole collection. The detail of the embroidery was to a very high standard, and the colour pallet was new to the brand but worked very well.
The final pieces, titled orbit can be seen in figure 5, this design was the cheapest to produce and so the most low priced piece within the collection, the collaborative logo was thought to be slightly too big however due to the impending launch, there wasn't time for it to be altered.

The shoot took place within the university, with Level 6 student Georgia Richards photographing the collection. The backdrop worked really well within the shoot, as it helped to separate the collection from previous ones, and push the collaborative aspect further.
Although the images came out well in the end, both myself and Tom had to edit them as she was unable to complete the images in time.
