Stuart Whitton.
Clothing Alphabet Typography:
Stuart Whitton created an entire alphabet through the manipulation of several clothing items to form all 26 letters. He raided his wardrobe looking for any piece of clothing that could represent the letters from blazers and jeans to socks and ties.
His work includes photorealistic images using only anolog tools and media for example increadible detailed drawing of these pieces of clothing.
My own photos inspired by his work:
I tried to recreate Stuart Whittons work using my own items of clothing to represent each letter of the alphabet. It was much more challenging than I thought as I had to shape the pieces as well as making sure each letter was presented as close to it as I could. In the end I had to repeat some of the items of clothing as to make sure I had all 26 letter.
