DARREN GRIMES: VISCERAL SPORT: TWO PIECE COLLECTION

Hi guys, I just thought I'd check in and share my latest work. I know I post a lot of work from other designers which brings in the views but now and again I do like to put my own stuff out there. In the hope that one day as I grow my own personal aesthetic and knowledge, recognition will grow alongside of it.

This body of work was inspired by the visceral - it isn't rational, it is visceral. The dreamy hues, the energetic mesh, the foamy fabrics. All taking inspiration from the silhouette of insects, cocoons and the fabrics, proportions and silhouette of American footballers. I designed a collection for a guarded woman, a woman who isn't afraid to don sport luxe garments that exaggerate her shoulders, that guard her face in a helmet like fashion, or sweatpants with laser cut leather panels. I hope you guys enjoy the rather limited photographs I have so far, showing you the process from the customer story board to the specification drawing to the pattern cutting and then eventually a 3D finished garment. The garments are due to be modelled and photographed professionally soon which I'll also upload to the blog.
