Early steps in the fashion design process for production after a collection of influences had been found.

The first image shows design explorations within the same shape languages as the references, as well as open ideas for diversity. Not thinking too much about how it could be applied to the human figure.

Second image is an accumilation of first design ideas on a model with a focus on outer shapes /silhouette of the piece while sticking to the parameters.

Next step will be to narrow down the aspects that work well and are aesthetically pleasing to the recipient. I searched for more haute couture and will likely draw more inspiration from designers like Gareth Pugh, Haider Ackermann, Alessandra Marchi, Irina Chervenkova, Arzu Kaprol and Fendi.

Also… colour choices are to be made.

Always open for critique.

Seeing beneath the skin

It’s not always easy to find a vein under a patient’s skin, especially if they have a darker complexion. This device, called the VeinViewer, solves that problem with augmented reality.

First, the device scans a patient’s skin using infrared light. By capturing and processing the reflected radiation, it identifies the locations of blood vessels and projects a bright green light onto the surface to highlight the where they are.

The resolution can be set so high that even the valves within veins as small as 0.22mm across can be seen, making finding a site for an injection a little less painful. There’s also promise for its use in the treatment and diagnosis of varicose veins, and aid in transfusions and blood sampling. 

You know that one scene where Legolas gets a bloody lip/nose (can’t remember which) in The Hobbit and looks at it in astonishment? When that happened I leaned over to my fiance and quietly quoted the film Dodgeball, saying, “No one makes me bleed my own blood.” We laughed for a good five minutes lol

I HAVEN’T SEEN DODGEBALL BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A GR8 JOKE bc it totally suits Legolas character

I GOOGLED AND EVEN FOUND A GIF FOR IT

my phone doesn’t know the word Lestat so when I attempt to write it, telling my friend what I’m reading, T9 eagerly offers Jesus as the first choice and I think it’s the closest I’ll ever get to reading the Bible

Where did the idea of vampires having balls actually come from? Like what started that… “I’m a bloodsucking creature of the night; I feel like dressing fabulous and going to mingle in high society!”

when i read this i thought by “balls” you meant “testicles” and i just sat here for like two minutes thinking about why vampires having testicles is peculiar to you and why it means that they hang out with the upper class
