Hispanic Purse
I created this piece of work because I wanted to stay in the same field that I have been in before, but intensify it. I have been working with fashion in art class for two years now, and every time I create something I feel better and my confidence builds up more. This is why I created this piece of work. This is a semi pocket book, with dingles sewed to it on top of a clutch looking piece I made before I attached the dingles. When I first started to do this I wanted to do patchwork, however anyone in the fashion world knows what you think will happen most likely won’t happen. That is why I changed the vision of my project. I knew that I wanted this piece to be more than just a clutch, I wanted it to have detail. That is why I preferred patches, however that changed and I found dingles instead. Only difference is the art, the overall vision of creating a piece with extravagant detail remained the same. In my hard work and dedication, I hope that people can see that this wasn’t easy because it takes time. I want people that is seeing my art to know that it is not easy or perfect but it is definitely worth the experience. In my art you will flaws if you are an expertise at sewing, but it is a step from my last piece of work. Therefore, I am proud and I want people to see that it is a piece of work that I am proud of. So again, I hope that I got out the message I wanted: To create a piece with detail. This clutch/mini pocket book has 3 different tracks of dingle's attached to it covering the fabric. I made it like this to implement detail. My work is kind of similar to others. Take Balmain for instance. In some of Balmain custom designs he made for celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, he adds pearls and diamonds to their suits and dresses. This makes the outfit look 10x times better because there is more to look at and examine. Balmain adds single attachments of beads, pearls, the lining of his work. This is what I tried to accomplish with in my work. I made sure the lining could be as closely together to make sure none of the fabric would show. Through it all the project was a success, but the process always wasn’t easy. At first I wanted to do patchwork to capture an idea of detail. I seen patchwork, and I really liked it so I was excited to try it out. However, I wasn’t able to pull through with it. Therefore, I started to change the concept to something of a Hispanic culture.That is when I found these long fringes and I decided perfect! I started the new process, and that is when I couldn’t wait for it to start. I started to sew the bag and make it into a clutch shaped liked bag. Soon after that I started to sew on the fringe attachments. This took me at least 2 days to finish with everything. My influences were Bailman, and Kanye West. They do work like this, and it was good so I wanted to do it. This work is so important to do because now in my life fashion is a huge part to me. Finding new ways to rock something is always my approach. I was able to create something that made sense to my fashion sense. I hope that my work influence others to give a try to whatever they believe looks amazing, If you are into fashion, and you see a style you like give it a try yourself!
