MA Fashion Photography

I love to work with creative driven people and endeavor to install a philosophy behind my personal work. I have degrees in Law, Graphic Arts and a Masters degree in Fashion Photography from the London College of Fashion. I have worked with Solve Sunsbo and exhibited nationally as well as been published internationally. ‘Liberty’ and ‘Uhuru’ are the culmination of research into African American History, which the overall theme of the project explored whether historical information could be transferred using a fashion narrative. The outcome of the research established that when creating a commercial fashion editorial ‘Uhuru,’ it had to incorporate a turbulent historical account in a way which was respectful to it. Instead of literal enactments of events, I created a narrative with subtle use of posture, disposition and space, incorporating current fashion. As some of the findings were too important to ignore such as the controversial facts surrounding the Statue of Liberty I felt compelled to construct visuals to surmise the information without a commercial aspect. "Liberty is somewhere between film, performance and historical dream sequence, this short film is the thoughtful meditation on race, identity and history and sets out to create a thought-provoking response to the African American struggle. Set to the sound of Billie Holidays Strange Fruits. The film reveals the hidden history of the Statue of Liberty, which as the film-makers research reveals, might have looked very different" - Nilgin Yusuf Alex Jackson: www.visidual.com alexander@visidual.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/alexjacksonuk

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear

O U T O F C O N T R O L~ Exploring the power of control against less-controlled, the restriction reality against the freedom of our dream- capable mind, the struggles between the attempt of control and the desire of being free. The collection is reflecting the fantasy, dreams, and the power of the interaction between the controlled and the less-controlled part that leads our lives. Dreams are created from the reality individuals experienced in their daily lives. The material of reality then been reinterpreted in various wild discipline into an unpredictable form. It is out of our control. It is beyond our sense of organized consciousness. I had executed the concept through creating garments that are aesthetically pleasing, with practical purpose but reflects bizarre, mysterious, and dream-like atmosphere. Within the collection, I had seek the solution to find the balance between visually pleasant of the garments and meaning of fantasy and dreams to me. Through the design process of the collection, I tried exploring the boundary between dreams and reality in various approaches, especially with my personal experience. Overall, the collection is a path that reveals myself being a human struggling between the attempt of control and the desire of being free. ******************************************************************************************** Let's dream, and set ourselves free. ********************************************************************************************* O U T O F C O N T R O L Photographer: YuHsin (Ash) Lin Model:Lily Osborne @ First Model Management Hair & Makeup: Verity Cumming Creative & Styling Consultant:Makoto Chang ********************************************************************************************* shchang1015@gmail.com

MA Fashion Design Technology, Womenswear

Rahull Verma has recently completed a Master of Art with distinction in Fashion Design and Technology, specialising in Womenswear from London College of Fashion. Rahull graduated from National Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi in 2008 with a gold medal in academic excellence. He then worked in the industry for two years to gain experience and build his portfolio to earn a spot in the class of MA in 2010. Rahull’s strengths lie in pattern cutting and tailoring, along with an excellent understanding of fabrics and finishing which he mixes with his keen eye for aesthetics and attention to detail. Experimental in approach, the inspiration for his MA collection - ‘_hybrid basic’ comes from the architectural influence on fashion; with reference to the concepts of ‘Deconstruction’ and ‘Difference’ coined by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. The two concepts are interpreted through pattern cutting methodology and fabrication respectively. The majority of the collection has been produced in-house by the designer himself. ‘_hybrid basic’ was nominated for the collection of the year award for 2012 and shown in a catwalk show at Victoria and Albert museum on Feb 2, 2012.

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development

I like to think of myself as an aspiring eccentric. Holeing from London but not the cool end, the very middle class Kingston upon Thames. I very much like to do and make things myself and to know how things are made. When I was given the opportunity to study footwear it seemed like one of the most fun things i could do for a degree; I hit things with hammers, use sharp knives that i often slice my thumb open with, there are big machines that pull things and shoot wax from here at there, it appeals to my masculine "hit things" side and i get to create what i design and i love that. I specialize in handsewn Mens footwear occasionally crossing over into womens wear to keep my mother happy, on leaving university I intend to go into practice for myself creating made to order footwear bringing a young design ethos and a little freshness into the very traditional world of handmade footwear, being a young shoe maker myself. This final year collection for me has all been about starting from nothing but flat raw materials and making everything in the shoes myself; from the thread for welting that I make myself to creating the colours for the uppers and dyeing them myself. I have taken inspiration form the beautiful flowing lines of the Art Nouveau movement and it's unified design style and then taking inspiration from humanity its self.

MA History And Culture Of Fashion

I began the MA History and Culture of Fashion course having completed a BA Combined Honours in Arts at Durham University. The MA allowed me to explore all aspects of the fashion industry from a historical and current perspective, and to progress with a passion for a subject that had been resting, yet brewing, during my first university experience. The subject of my dissertation was driven by an exceptionally relevant topic within today's society on a global scale. My initial research highlighted that the conversation of Facebook was common, yet an academic response about self-presentation and this form of digitilisation of fashion had yet to evolve. My study for the dissertation introduced me to the vast field of social media and the absolute prevalence it has within the 21st century. This phenomenom is entwined with the fashion industry whose success has become dependent on the reaction of an online audience. This is evident not only by the billion dollar industry of online fashion retail, but by domestic cases where everyday people self-style their own ideal personas in an online forum. A single person can be the model, buyer,marketer, consumer and audience in one swoop by participating in the now ordinary practice of online socialising.

BA (Hons) Make Up and Prosthetics for Performance

FdA Fashion Design Technology (Designer Pattern Cutter)

Using minimal shapes in this over communicated world where information flows and infiltrates, helps people breathe giving them a canvas for imagining. Fashion has the power of being wearable as well as being a tool for changing people's perception.

BA (Hons) Costume for Performance

I believe my passion for original and innovative costumes has pushed me to challenge the boundaries of what is traditionally perceived as costume through my interaction with objects and landscape. My excitement for character and concept has led me to produce a range of works which draw influences from existing narratives and philosophical concepts. I remain enthusiastic about all areas of costume whether contemporary or historic and have a high appreciation for tailoring which I picked up from my time spent interning on Savile Row. My previous experience includes a tailoring internship at Gieves & Hawkes and Henry Pooles and wardrobe experience on Les Miserables as well as assisting in smaller theatre productions and on student films. My final major project drew its inspirations from the works of John Cage and Marcel Duchamp and was directed by a series of chance determined operations. It also considers the theory of the observer completing the work through its use of reflective surfaces. I worked with themes that were loosely selected from Samuel Beckets Waiting for Godot, most notably those of isolation, repetition, unknown and on-going. With this work I sought to explore the boundaries of costume and its potential to additionally exist as props and set. The costumes ability to merge into its landscape pushed me to consider the scale of the work and its potential to keep growing and expanding.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development

Collection The birth of a new identity has been born. The earth’s belongings have merged together with the modern being to become a post-human hybrid. Using earth’s raw matters and human characteristics, mutations have formed causing obscure shapes. The new surroundings are dim and desolate as the unidentified hybrids re-familiarise them selves with all the land has to offer. It is about story telling and communicating ideas through look and feel and perception. This modern tactile womenswear collection takes inspiration from raw earth materials and modern human identity. Angular shapes with précised edging and garments that are fixed with a slight flow give this mutant collection the ultimate balance. lakishawhite_740@live.co.uk

BA (Hons) Technical Effects for Performance

Over the course of my studies in Technical Effects, I have been able to develop a specialized knowledge for application in various areas of performance production. I hope to develop these skills through my current and ongoing work which considers the role technology has to play in the future of theatre design. In particular, I am interested in how we as designers can adopt an integrated approach which uses technology combined with skilled practice in 3D physical effects to create innovative work that not only experiments with the possibilities of spatial design but also explores new ways a performance narrative can be experienced by its audience. My most recent work looks at immersive/site specific theatre that incorporates multi-platform story telling and play to engage the audience with the character's stories and plot. I have been designing interactive elements to be installed within a chosen location which have been built by the characters themselves to lead 'a playing audience' through the narrative space. The music box puzzle is an example of one of these elements. A 3D puzzle with 96 puzzle pieces that the audience must turn to realise the image. The audience must communicate with each other to complete the task which tells them where the next clue is on their journey through the space. Each pole which holds the puzzle pieces triggers musical scenes that act as a soundtrack to the performance setting, a post industrial, post apocalyptic world. The music is intended to evoke an emotional response from the audience. Playing audiences have reported feelings of fear, confusion, agitation, even euphoric pleasure when certain scenes are triggered towards the completion of the puzzle. As well as these musical scenes some poles trigger sound effects and fragments of speech which help the audience build a more detailed picture of the world in which the characters have lived and in which they as a participating audience have been immersed. Away from the game requirements, the box also facilitates a degree of creative agency for its audience, in that if they so choose, people can play with the box as a musical object triggering different scenes in different combinations of their choice. Considering the relationship between sound, object, space and the audience has highlighted for me the potential of an approach like this for affecting the experience of a performance narrative in a very moving and powerful way. I have built this project in collaboration with a musician and computer programmer, a relationship, that has also confirmed for me that an interdisciplinary approach to physical effects for theatre is key for meeting the demands of a contemporary audience. I see this work as a starting point for future research and the box as a prototype for further development.
