BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development

Born and raised in the north of Italy, until high school when I moved to Sri Lanka. Over there I attended an international school, which gave me a very broad understanding of the world and other cultures. Ever since I have loved traveling around Asia, which cultures have always somehow inspired my work. After high school, I had the chance to live one year in Beijing. It was an excellent opportunity as the world of Fashion nowadays is very much related to China, in terms of suppliers and manufacturers. Although Haute Couture has always been my interest, I believe a general understanding of the world of fashion, from mass production to small tailoring businesses, is crucial in this business.

Copyright © 2013 Sarah Mazza http://www.notjustalabel.com/sarah_mazza https://www.facebook.com/SarahMazzaKnitwear ___Summary___ A Spring/Summer collection for 2014 for high end womens wear market, exploring the idea of body tattoos being an object of art and its importance relative to different religious beliefs, tribal ceremonies and how this has a strong relation to modern society and its subcultures. ___More information on the concept___ The tattoo world is vast with much information about its culture and this has influenced many artists of our present days. As a way of inspiring this collection, various tattoo design ideas have been explored while looking at the different cultures. Philippine Island tattoos seem to be part of the biggest focuses relating to knit design itself. Some of the trading products originated from this country were fine fabrics made by women with a variety of materials. Interestingly the same patterns were also found on the Philippine women’s tattooed hands. These tattoos as the fine fabrics details must have been rather delicate and this has been reflected into the collection. The overall idea of this project is to bring to light and to show the tattoo like pattern by transposing the concept into knitted fabric. To create this concept into the shape and silhouette of the garments it is was crucial to keep it fairly simple as the texture will bring most of the slick and elegant look . Tight fitting clothing is to resemble the way the tattoo is being worn on the body (almost like a second skin effect). Looking at some of the Philippine people we can identify a recurring theme of curved lines near the shoulders where it creates a unique effect of clothing seams However taking into account the body tattoo placements there was a lot of playing round with arm holes in the collection garments which relates to tattoo sleeve placements. Among the designs, the knit is see-through to show the skin beneath, ____About Sarah____ Sarah Mazza is a French designer based in Luton. From a young Sarah always wanted to do something creative. Having studied Textiles at A-Level, her passion for the fashion industry and knitwear in particular was born. Noticing a talent in her, her tutor taught her to knit outside of class and from then on she was hooked, taking every possible chance to practice and improve in her spare time. After gaining a place on the prestigious course at LCF, where she explored multiple textile techniques including embroidery and print, she decided to focus purely on her first passion. She love the way in which she can create her own fabric, shape and make it as individual as it can be. She has always liked using unusual materials and prefer to challenge herself by staying away from conventional wool. Sarah’s knit includes feminine and elegant hand crafted knit that is hand dyed and hand stitched together. Sarah was awarded the Knitwear Award on Fashion156.com in Graduate Showcase Week for BA13 Press Show. ___________________Languages________________ Fluent in French and English _______________PRESS_______________ Featured on Home Page of NOT JUST A LABEL , http://www.notjustalabel.com http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/spring-summer-2014/ready-to-wear/london-college-of-fashion-ba/full-length-photos/gallery/1004248 http://blogs.arts.ac.uk/fashion/2013/09/09/a-glittering-gala-for-the-future-of-fashion/ http://blogs.arts.ac.uk/fashion/2013/07/29/class-of-2013-sarah-mazza/ http://www.thestylelane.com/#/lcf13-runway-show/4577776766 http://www.mydaily.co.uk/2013/07/02/london-college-of-fashion-ba-show-2013_n_3532173.html http://www.fashion156.com/daily-blog/f156-graduate-showcase-week-sarah-mazza/ http://www.fashion156.com/daily-blog/f156-graduate-showcase-week-awards/ http://blogs.arts.ac.uk/fashion/2013/07/19/fashion156-com-report-on-graduate-season-2013/ http://www.logos.info/en/news/sarah-mazza/ http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/fashion/london-college-of-fashion-ba-hons-graduate-catwalk-show-2013-review/2013/07/22/ http://www.apimages.com/metadata/Index/Britain-London-College-of-Fashion-BA-Show/84cceb40738741349519182b8e7d0dcf/28/0 http://www.ohdearism.com/2013/04/13/style-sarah-mazza-lcf-ba-collection/ http://janemarlestylist.tumblr.com/post/51740727194/http-www-joomag-com-magazine-frow-magazine-issue http://www.joomag.com/magazine/frow-magazine-issue-1-2013/0389006001368895868 http://www.flickr.com/photos/eliz_pica/8754598523/in/photostream/ http://issuu.com/london_college_of_fashion/docs/sdt-annual-2013 http://ashleighbrowntextiledesign.tumblr.com/search/sarah+mazza http://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/fashion-educational-institute-news/newsdetails.aspx?news_id=148962 http://newfashions956.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/sarah-mazza-ba-hons-fashion-design.html http://laspola.com/news.asp?id_news=4393&lingua=ITA Featured on Home Page of NOT JUST A LABEL , http://www.notjustalabel.com _________________CREDIT___________________ ___BFC 2013 ___ Sarah Mazza, Photographer, James Rees www.jamesrees.co.uk Creative Direction, Rob Phillips Beauty, Pace Chen, Melissa Wong Nail Art, Lauren Michelle Pires Model, Sarah Dick at Models 1 http://www.models1.co.uk/ ___LOOK BOOK Shoot___ sarah mazza photographer, Josh Chow Hair and MakeUp, Naoko Mabuchi Model, Ayesha Tan-Jones. ___BEAUTY EDITORIAL___ Photography, Polin Kuprine Styling, Jane Marle Hair and Makeup, Louise Linder.

Lisa Pek is a high-end menswear designer, specialised in tailoring & knitwear- design. Born in Carinthia / Austria, based in both London / UK and AT. Her signature is wearable, well-cut men’s fashion with a subtle depth. Lisa Pek’s approach to fashion is the exploration and definition of masculinity. “It’s exciting and challenging to produce a commercially innovative product with high quality fabrication and a thoughtful mind on detail.” After working on projects for Vivienne Westwood MAN and the British fashion brand ALL SAINTS LTD. Lisa Pek works as a freelance designer as well as carries on her design work and will launch lisa pek AW14 in spring 2014. MA collection AW 12/13 is about conflict of intellect & labour The background of her work is based on thorough research in post-/structuralistic philosophy. It’s about the conflict we live in.… future – past, technology – tradition, intellect – labour In a way we live in a world where intellectual work is losing its value and handicraft is winning on value because skills and knowledge are getting lost. It’s a very present conflict nowadays. But it’s even a universal conflict which every single person lives in. Lisa Pek was using details of workwear as well as of intellectual-worker’s garments (like the suit). She also built up her own symbolism with the use of handicraft gloves and creating faces with them. Later on she abstracted these faces into silhouettes for lines and graphics in seams or even in knitwear-design. “The future of technology will not be the one who alienates us. It rather will be the one who brings us to ourselves.” Matthias Horx (future scientist) www.lisapek.com office@lisapek.com SPONSORED by SCHOELLER www.schoeller-wool.com

MA History and Culture of Fashion

PAST AS PRESENT: THE REVIVAL OF LUXURY HERITAGE BRANDS IN THE HYPER/LIQUID WORLD Between 2006 and 2010, a series of luxury heritage brands were simultaneously revived by autonomous entities after years of idle dormancy. The trend, characterized primarily by Cacharel, Carven, Halston, The House of Worth, Irfé and Vionnet, could initially be dismissed as a mere coincidence. Upon closer inspection, however, the phenomenon is a peculiar and unprecedented development in fashion. Taking into consideration the type of brands being revived, including their history, reputation and following, plus the overall timing of their parallel resuscitation suggests something far more complicated than a slight twist of fate. To dismantle and expose the significance of this phenomenon, Past As Future: The Revival of Luxury Heritage Brands in the Hyper/Liquid World, looks beyond the boundaries of fashion to demonstrate how growing societal anxieties have influenced the industry’s overall direction. Grounded within hypermodernism and liquid modernity, Past as Future proposes the revival of luxury heritage brands is the result of society’s eroding confidence in forward-orientated progress. Plagued by perpetual anxiety, uncertainty, temporality and ‘nowism,’ the hyper/liquid world has become pervasive, casting the fashion industry and its participants into a constant state of flux where present-day gratifications are unremitting. As a result, the hyper/liquid state of fashion has forced the industry to collapse upon itself, rendering it incapable of projecting itself forward. With the future acting as a source of anxiety rather than a site of refuge, fashion has returned to its past to create its future.

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design and Innovation

SeungMi Kim BA(Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development SeungMi Kim expects to become a creative and modern brand that will represent contemporary shoes. Mainly, it is inspired by a variety of art theories, issues or arts work that is reinterpreted in a modern way. The value of the brand will be enhanced through combing work with special skills and each design has a significant meaning. “Changes in form, illusion and technology” This main concept of the A/W 2013-14 is ‘Cubism’ which was inspired by cubism painting and sculpture. It is based on cubism theory; the main objective is to reproduce the surface through three-dimensional view and the basic perspective rule is abandoned and shows the same object in different sides. These were combined with my design, which resulted in a modern conceptual and fashionable shoe. I used 3D printing, which was hidden rather than showing on the outside to give change to the shape of the shoe. To create an optical illusion a point colour was used. On the whole, the collection shows dramatic elements of materials, colour and design. - Contact detail - sui.seungmikim@gmail.com 07738333109

‘Conjoined Illusion’ The footwear collection ‘Conjoined Illusion’ is based on reflection, mirroring, visual illusions and conjoined twins. Every pair of shoes consists of four carbon fibre soles that are connected, conjoined in different ways. The idea of reflection, mirroring and optical illusions can be seen in the design of the uppers respectively in the design of the heels/platforms. Visual illusions and mirroring are arduously to understand for our brain. Our cognitive faculty gets irritated. If we look at objects from different perspectives they seem to change their shape, but they are still the same. The intention behind the designs is to somehow confuse, or disturb, or grasp the spectator for a long time. With my work I want to challenge the eyes and the mind. The collection ‘Conjoined Illusion’ shows that footwear can be a work of art but nevertheless conveys clearly the grace of a shoe.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

copyright © 2013 devika anita rattu ______________________________FLORAL DECAY Devika Rattu is a Surface Textiles Designer specialising in Print through traditional screen-printing and digital printed textiles. Her work explores printing and dyeing techniques with a modern twist by distorting and warping her artwork to create something distinctly unique. Her Spring/Summer 2014 collection Floral Decay is a high-end womenswear collection, which stemmed from the idea that man-made cites are created by destroying natural landscapes. Then when man no longer has use for the structures, the invasion of nature and the decaying process takes over and creates something delicately beautiful, fragile and unique. Looking at the visual record of physical decay shown in the work of Marchand and Meffre’s ‘Ruins of Detroit’ the photography explores abandonment by people, society and the presence of past lives within the derelict buildings. The collection draws on traditional print processes of Devore and dyeing used in a contemporary way with unconventional fabrics. The techniques have been extensively refined to showcase a highly creative development of textiles. Both techniques required long periods of time to explore, test and perfect, creating a distinctive collection. The dyeing and printing process has been a fundamental aspect to the collection. The importance of colour is paramount to Devika’s vision through her collection, especially the transformation of her artwork into printed textiles. An integral part to the development of Devika’s work is her floral illustrations. Specialising in organic watercolour paintings rich in colour, distorted and warped to form graphic structural shapes, which won her a prize for Chelsea Flower Show competition and an annual membership to the Royal Horticultural Society. Then developed for the illustration competition Nina De Yorke and used to create an instillation for the 2013 LCF Press Exhibition. ______________________________EDUCATION London College of Fashion Ba (Hons) Fashion Design Technology_Surface Textiles 2010-2013 London College of Fashion Foundation Diploma in Art and Design 2009-2010 ______________________________WORK EXPERIENCE Anna Sui -New York- Pattern Making Intern July-September 2012 Giles -London- Sample Room Intern January-May 2012 Freelance Print Designer_ Mirjam Roudén -London- Design Intern April-May 2011 ______________________________ ACHIEVEMENTS Runner up_Chelsea Flower show t-shirt competition Annual membership for The Royal Horticultural Society Collaborative photo shoot, producing 2 dresses and a headpiece for Fauna & Flora

A Surface Textiles student specialising in embroidery. Autumn/Winter 2014 ASA The Natural Transitions high-end ready to wear collection explores the forces of nature: the paradox of volcanoes discovering their immense beauty, which at the same time can bring out violent monsters. Observing the extreme power that nature can produce, which can stop the whole of Europe, as Eyjafjallajökull did in 2010; it was an example of the forces of nature and our powerlessness against it. Consequently exploring the effects we have on nature therefore experimenting with sustainable and unsustainable materials such as fur and plastics. The concept is experimented through innovative hands on textile methods such as; crochet, Irish machine, dyeing of fabrics, felting and embellishment. Using colour ways derived from the nature, such as earthy tones of browns juxtaposed with the acid colours from the volcanoes and geothermal pools in Iceland. The unpredictable atmosphere that the volcano concept creates has lead to design influences being derived briefly from the Native Americans but heavily from heavy metal rock and rock icons such as Jennifer Herrema. Contrasting their style with the Scandinavian minimalism.

Patrizia Caputo is a fashion designer that specialises in high end garments for women’s wear with a particular emphasis on laser-cut leather. Born in Milan/Italy, she studied FTD MA in London College of Fashion and prior to that studied in NABA academy where she did her BA in Fashion and Textile Design. “I like to mix the creativity and the vibrancy of English fashion and combine that with the tradition of the best sourced Italian materials.” She has worked for Aminaka Wilmont from which she developed a deeper interest for leather and light-weight materials. Studio based on conceptual wearable dresses, they developed their collection around a strong concept translating into laser printed draped dresses and leather statement pieces, combining embroidery details. During this collaboration she explored new ways of projecting unconventional and concept based clothing which led to her latest project ‘D-humanised’. For this 10 outfit collection she explores the mental and physical torment associated with bondage and imprisonment to create a high-end concept collection. The primary inspiration came out from a biography of Alda Merini, an Italian poet that passed more than 10 years of her life locked up in a mental facility. The collection has the aim of a visual story with a strong contrast between transparency and layering up, creating a storyboard based on physical and mental abuse. “I wanted to be a storyteller with my collection. I wanted to create a visual increase of emphasis and mystery, from exposure to hiding behind layers and second skin and where where silk, chiffon and leather interact to create more contrast in shape. These musings formed the basis of her MA collection AW 2013 where she created 24 pieces consisting of tan and black laser-cut leather, hand dyed silk as well as a bolero which many laud as the best piece of the collection. Her philosophy when it comes to making clothes is to combine geometrical shapes, clean lines with strong volumes and excellent quality material. In a creative and visually inspiring London, her aim is to create a unique look with defined lines to empower the figure of a feminine woman that wants to have her own strong space in the world. At the moment she works as a free-lance designer and so far has been commissioned to design 2 wedding dresses and is currently thinking about the concept of her next collection.

Historic background and culture, especially lifestyles, atmospheres of previous eras are the sources of my inspiration. The mood is taken from literary, screen and fine art references. I am playing and take risks with reinventing traditional techniques with contemporary cut.
