Product - Mannequins

 

Mannequins | Euroshop 2008 | Hans Boodt

The invention of mannequins is unknown to the human being. Records show that there were mannequins found in Egypt in 1300 BC. 

 

Life-size mannequins come to life in the mid-18th century. They were used in the military to do nuclear tests on what the effect would be on humans in the 1950s. In the 17th century, doctors used mannequins to study the medical anatomy of pregnant women for childbirth.

Development and manufacturing of sustainable products, including recycled products, in the fashion industry are important for the environmental and social impact they have. The competitive fashion world is strategic and innovative, keywords to be ahead of the development of products.

When starting to create, the blog can easily be used as a recording platform or a drawing board to memorise unique ideas captured from the internet.

When you observe your immediate surroundings, including your house, garage, garden, and dustbins, you can find materials to start building the product (mannequin). Recycle as much as you can. Be environmentally friendly!

Google says: "The fashion industry produces up to 100 billion garments a year and as much as 92 million tons of clothing went into landfills." Start now to recycle and be friendly to our mother earth, who feeds us fresh food in our stomachs to keep us healthy.

Issey Miyake - Japanese Fashion Designer

Miyake was born in Hiroshima, Japan. When he was only seven years old, he lost his mother to the atomic bomb at Hiroshima (9 August 1945), which he survived and also can remember.  

His clothing designs were technology-driven, and that was what he was well known for. He was also famous for the design of Steve Jobs, a friend of his, the black turtlenecks he wore.

To Riaan:

 

I remember the night you came and visited—no shoes, your tone hurt the previous night when we were on the mobile phone.
This song is playing in the air tonight when you enter my apartment. You touched my hand and I felt your breath next to mine.

Kinaesthetic

 

I had a lot of meetings when I worked, and one lady who worked with me always sat and drew figures while in a meeting, sometimes she just drew lines and circles, I thought, in the beginning, it was boring, but today, I am busy with the TEFL course, they give it a name. This part of learning and they call kinaesthetic. So if you draw and listen you are not always bored, you are just busy learning. Never know that...

A New Logo

 

A fresh start needs a fresh look and feel. Slowly I moved on with my business and started new adventures.

Begin to sell on Facebook goods.

I am busy with my TEFL certificate and hope to be fineshed before the end of September 2024. 

I started to learn Italian.

I have new ideas for my clothing line and started to advertise on https://www.yaga.co.za/pieterlategan.

Then hopefully start to facilitate as soon as possible. 

It is 1:26 AM this morning. I went to bed around half past eight, and now I am wide awake. I must say I had a few glasses of white semisweet wine, which put me in a state just to eat and go and sleep. 

Sunday 14 April Props for the Concert, Steampunk Theme

I took the photos of the props we are busy making for the school.  We finished with the money bags, busy with the steampunk gun and the princess hat.

 

The New Coffee Shirt

I got this mini mat a year or so ago, and it was just lying in the studio. I thought to make a shirt on it and started around Thursday. It was not a huge success, and I still need to work on it.

New Ideas for Jacket

Today, Anton and I went to MetroLifestyle where we buy our fabrics from. It is about 2 km from our house here in Reagan Park. We looked at shweshwe fabric to make our jackets. That was what I had in mind for my jacket which we want to wear to the modeling school fashion show next week.
