I did sew them so please be kind( but honest if you’d like)
One of the 2 styles in a collection
Theme: the sky is not the limit: journey to Virgo .
I would like to hear your thoughts 💭 on the jacket as well as opinions on how to style them.
I can’t figure out how to style the blue especially for the life of me and I am not fully happy with how I’ve styled them in the photos
[Back story (for anyone interested): Started the concept/theme last year August-November🍁 ; journey to Virgo ♍️- the sky is not the limit
The hardest part of this piece was the spine🩻, at first I tried learning 3d modelling to make metal spines but the size was too small to be feasible so I spent 2 months thinking of a concept that flowed with this jacket🧥 , read some books 📚 and discovered the stitch🧵 and slash✂️ technique . ]
From my 2️⃣piece collection: a journey to Virgo ♍️
A lil back story: this is my first ever jacket ; very daunting project to make. I had made the prototype last year August🍁 and was wondering how to incorporate the spines 🩻.
On the last slide I was learning and drafting 3d 🖨️modelled spines ( tried learning that really difficult) but couldn’t find a ⚖️ for the clothes without making it too small to create. Then 2 months after rigorous research 🧑🔬🔬. I had an epiphany💡:
I had a 📕 on fabric manipulation and discovered ⚱️:
Stitch 🧵and slash ✂️a technique
applied to the back to create the spine of Noxar .
Made one for me and my girlfriend👩❤️👨 and posted the different design iterations
Hopefully it is clear enough to not get taken down ( my camera’s not very good 🥲, did some edits to make it clearer ).

EPIPHANY; I have a bunch of fabric manipulation books📚perhaps somewhere in one of them I could find what I was looking for , voilà c’est ca 💡;
stitch and slash (the technique I used for the back, in case anyone is wondering)
Fabrics; 100% boiled wool, suede, yyk zippers, shoulder pads, embroidery threads and stainless steel charms, viscose satin for the lining and I can’t remember the fabric name for the red part on the ribs. Knitted ribs for the cuff
