Fashion Designers Inspired by Op Art/Illusion

Will I was researching fashion inspired by Optical Art /Illusion I found 3 recent Designers that were inspired by Op Art/Illusion. The designers were Ya-ling Hou, Marie & Karen Potesta and  Avsh Alom Gur.

Box

Our first research task was to make a box that must be painted white inside and outside and cut out a peephole, with elements of movement and illusion. The box will be a base for a series of photograph y and drawing.  

From this exercise I deicide that my box will have images of optical illusion on the walls. I also will have an image of myself that I will move around and taking picture.

Movement, Magic & Illusion Project

From reading the brief like the sound of the project and it seem fun. It as a wide range of areas  to it so I will  need to  research Kinetic art, Op Art, Visual Illusions, Literal Optical Illusion and Cognitive Illusion. Then from there I will chose my favourite theme and research fathered in to the themes about the history, fashion elements etc. This will help m with the specialist I have chosen which is Fashion /Textiles and Photography. I have chosen these because it is the ones I enjoy the most.  Also I will need to research fashion designers that relate to my final theme and if I don’t find any I will use the artist that relate to the theme.
