Cheers, this is the second garment I have made- first was a shirt that went horribly wrong!
I'm a first year fashion student, which is kind of the reason for the detachable sleeves... at the moment we are still being taught the business of making clothes (pattern cutting/construction) and the sleeves are technically difficult to design/make. I agree to some extent about the vents- I don't mind that they're silver but there is too many of them and/or they are too big- I originally wanted to have 5 in an upside down pentagon, but that wasn't possible for reasons that I won't bore you with.
For this project we could make anything we wanted as long as it was in black fabric, most people saw it as they're chance to go completely mental, but I wanted to focus on technical details and the finish, as I feel there is no point in having a 'crazy' garment if it is finished like shit, more interesing shapes will be on their way soonish though
