Trends

As part of my college brief I have to look into current which will help influence the colours and silhouettes of my designs.

 

 

 I like how the print trend stand out with the vibrant colours and crazy patterns. I chose to look at print because it is just a very fun and wacky trend. Although it isn't quite my style I kind of like it and would like to use it has inspiration.

 The hourglass is probably my favourite silhouette of time. I like how it is timeless and elegant. When I shop for clothes this is what I look for. My liking of this silhouette comes from my love of the 1950s glamour. 

   

3D Paintings

The artist Shaka created these paintings. I think they are amazing because they jump out at you. I love his use of vibrant colours on a ull background . The paintings reach out at you creating the effect that the paintings have life. . I would like to have a go at creating a 3D effect to my art work because I think it makes them more interesting. He has made them so life like that I can imagine the people coming to life and stepping out of the painting.


 

 

Mini Eggshell Lamps

These amazing egg lamps are created by Bến Tre. He hand carved each one which must of taken ages. He uses a mixture of landscape images and funky patterns on the eggs. The one below is my favourite because it looks incredible and reminds me a bit of leopard skin. I wonder how he caved the eggs without braking them because if I tried it I probably would break them.
 

Blogs That Inspire Me

This is one blog I frequently look at is. It inspires me a lot. It features a lot of art which is something I love. They always have interesting posts and never fail to get my attention.

I like this blog because it looks at fashion, fashion films and illustrations. It also has competitions which is a good way for you to get noticed if your a fashion student. I entered their Giles Deacon competition and even managed to get mentioned on one of their posts.

I find this a really helpful blog because not only does it talk about fashion but it also gives you advice to help you improve as a blogger.

Amazing Typography Portraits

Sean Williams is the creator behind these amazing portraits. They are very realistic looking. Close up, viewers can read the lyrics and then from further away, the words blend together to form distinct facial details of each pop star. I would like to try this technique for an illustration.

Kami Organic

As part of my college brief I have to research eco designers. I looked at a fashion brand called Kami Organic. Which is a French fashion label that makes garments form organic fabric. I like there clothes because they have made them stylish as well good for the environment.  The clothes are very elegant and smart. They look like they have a Chanel influence to them.
 

 

 

 

 



Back To College

Tuesday was my first day at college as a second year fashion student. We were put to work straight away with a new brief. It is a completion for the clothes show 2013. I have to design a party outfit for the ultimate Clothes Show Girl. The winner gets £1000 which is a great motivation for a college brief. I would love to win but if I did I would also have to accept the award live on stage at the show. That is something I would rather not do. I would also win ticket to the Clothes Show which my sister has already decided that I would take her with me.
