A Fashion Design and Studio Art student at Georgia Southern, Lexus Lewis recently presented her designs at West Georgia University at the “Art of Fashion: Story to my Art” and successfully represented on behalf of the GSU FMAD program. Her designs prove to be elaborate, breathtaking, and phenomenal to say the least. Way to make GSU proud!
Each designer has their own interpretation, meaning, or story of what “The Art of Fashion” is. My collection is called ” The Creative Process” which is 1.This is Awesome 2. This is Tricky 3. This is S*** 4. I am S*** 5 This might be ok & 6. This is Awesome. That’s where I take my artwork whether a painting or sculpture and recreate it into a garment! The collection also has visuals and music done by Nile Rondon soundcloud.com/nilodile/mix-4-lex .You can watch it on my Facebook page “VMarie” and my Instagram @HervthePerv!!
She explains her collection inspiration below:
This one is called “Voluptuous,” inspired by my painting made with over 1,000 pipe cleaners, and the under armor was constructed with wire.
“This is my Canvas” This was my introduction garment. I am basically showing you what I can create from a “blank canvas.”
“Pastel Le Emousser” from my JusCuz series. It is made from Styrofoam.
Model: Denise Davis: IG:@_nise // “Oh You BOLD” also from my JusCuz series, made with styrofoam.
Model: Keyanna Palmer IG:_kmtp // rocks the “Voluptuous” garment.
“The Cover Up”. To recreate the pour method on the top of the painting (seen right) I used over 250 balloons. As for the skirt, made with cotton fabric, I painted it using fabric paint and puffy paint for texture!
“Thru The Wire” was inspired by a wire laptop that I built Spring semester in my 3-D class that won Best in Show in the 2015 Form and Content Juried Exhibition.
“Zack & Weezy” took about 2 weeks working 12-14 hours a day, cutting out the puzzle pieces to create the two faces seen on the coat; if you look closely at the sleeves, there is a maze pattern all done with a zigzag stitch.
