Shadow of a Bat

MA Digital Fashion

I am artefact designer based in East London. I completed my BA at the London College of Fashion with First Class honours and perused a successful career designing and creating fashion and accessories for two years. Last year I was awarded a prestigious scholarship from the Head of the British Fashion Council, Harold Tilman to study an MA in Digital Fashion at the London College of Fashion. During my time studying my MA I started to explore using 3D printing in jewellery design . I am now passionate about using 3D printing techniques mixed with my traditional background in fashion, thus creating complex and beautiful wearable art that would be impossible to create without 3d printing or without an indepth knowledge of classic design techniques.

MA Fashion Design Technology (Menswear)

Designer Hera Wan completed her BA in Fashion Design and Technology Menswear at London College of Fashion in 2012 and is pursuing her MA in menswear degree in London. During her BA study, she worked at the Amsterdam based fashion house of 'Viktor & Rolf' as a menswear design assistant for three months. With a curiosity driven mind and a lifelong passion for fashion, she decided to explore the realms of aesthetics through fashion design. Hera believes that ongoing dedication and inquisitive imagination are the fundamentals of design. Eruption of colours, noise, emotions and when cultures of different kinds clash and connect is what inspires Hera to create and design. Specialized in menswear gives Hera a great opportunity to test the boundary between traditional masculinity and her eccentric perception and aesthetics of masculinity. Capturing the harmony of colour, prints, and fine details, HERA\WAN showcases the elements of distinction and unexpected blitheness throughout its designs. HERA\WAN 2012 Autumn Winter menswear collection 'Muted Adolescence' is inspired by the innocence and subtle suppression of childhood in the early 1900s. The collection featured attentively screen printed spots, muted colour digital printed argyle pattern and unconventional application of straps and ribbons. The collection is tied together and elevated by the colour combinations and childlike proportion.

Teatum Jones Illustration Competition Winning entry

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear

London-based fashion designer and illustrator Final BA Collection: My vision for my A/W ’12-13 ‘Exotic dislocation’ collection is inspired by my multilayered cultural background, art and contemporary influences, merging into individual and cross-culturally designed clothing. References of Asia, the Exotic and oriental as well as Soviet Constructivism conjure up my fascination with opulence and bohemian cultures. Everything exotic and foreign gives a platform for imagination and exploration, and today we are particularly enriched by the world’s cultural exchange through migration and globalization. In this collection I’ve combined travel, escapism and an array of eastern influences with my personal aesthetic and designer codes. My aim was to balance modern, grown-up edginess with feminine silhouettes to represent long-lasting wardrobe essentials. The collection projects luxury ready to wear with a range of fabrics such as French silk chiffons, Mongolian sheep fur, waxed cotton, cashmere wool and reptile brocade, enhanced with dip-dyed tassel trimmings and chains. Colors run from spicy oranges to aquatic turquoises, balanced with dark plum and light creams. My muse is a traveler, a bohemian ‘gypset’, a woman who examines herself cross-culturally. I'm very much a 2D to 3D designer and portraying this woman in my 2D work is an essential part of my design process. My explorations are strongly illustrative and realistic with a fusion of techniques: pencil drawing, collage and acrylic paint. It’s about juxtaposition, combinations of stylistic references, eras and blending ideas. My work reflects a perception of beauty which comes from opposition and disparities. My designer philosophy is one of contrasts and eclectic mixes, with a modern youthful take on upscale dressing. It combines tradition with layers of modernity – as a young designer I feel it is important to look at the future and forecast it on a personal level rather than only repeating the past or conforming to the present. I aim to create a hybrid-aesthetic that appeals to a multitude of women from different cultural backgrounds, who wear culture as a coat. ‘When you put on the clothes of another culture, it changes how you stand, how you feel, the gestures you make.” (Pinar Yolacan in McDonnel, 2007).

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Menswear

K, [HyungTae Kim]. . ."A/W 2013 Generation." A/w 2013 "The idea of K A/w 13 collection is to explore the sensitive relationship between youth-cultures and parental culture." My concept is to look at the contrasts between the themes of 'Father/Tradition, Youth/rebellious and Uniform/War. What inspired me were the memory and feelings I had when I was an adolescent boy. The memory of trying my Father's clothes is unforgettable. What remains deep inside of me is the feeling of warmth and comfort. To more accurately describe, it was like wearing a very warm blanket in a very cold and lonely winter. This feelings got stronger when I was trying his military jacket. I wanted to deliver that feeling of warmness of oversized khaki fabrics whilst having the adolescent boy's rebelliousness attitude that I had as I grow up, as his jacket getting smaller."Hyung tae Kim’s was also great – it was a very good season.” Backpacks featured strongly in a great deal of collections, particularly in Kim’s who presented low-slung oversized backpacks combined with large, long coats that looked reminiscent of ‘typical’ father’s clothing but with a younger fresher vibe" - Hilary Alexander Academic London College of Fashion 2009 -2012 BA(Hons) FDT Menswear FT Northumbria University 2006-2009 BA(Hons)FDT Fashion Design Foundation Degree Work Experience Reworked [london] 2009 - 2011 [VINTAGE, ARMY CLOTHE REWORKED SHOP] ASSIATANT Diorasa 2007-2008 [Tailor shop] TAILOR ASSISTANT Press: http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/fashion/catwalk/AW2012/ReadyToWear/london/london_college_of_fashion_-_ba/full-length-photos -http://www.gomoneyways.com/?p=65953 -http://jaci-mag.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/untitled-ss-2013-mens-collection-acne.html -http://www.fashion.arts.ac.uk/2012/live/ -http://disordermagazine.com/lcfs-upcoming-talent/style/ -http://www.flickr.com/photos/53179772@N06/7490122378/ -http://fashionstyleology.com/hyung-tae-kim-k-aw-2013-lcf-ba-show/ -http://blogs.fashion.arts.ac.uk/snapshot/2012/06/29/last-night-in-shoreditch/ -http://nowfashion.com/28-06-2012-london-college-of-fashion-2012-part-1-live-event-event-2256.html -http://www.tatler.com/bystander/events/2012/june/london-college-of-fashion-graduate-show#/7516/image/25 - http://www.catwalking.com/ -http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/autumn-winter-2012/ready-to-wear/london-college-of-fashion-ba/page/7# -http://www.fashion156.com/collections/london-college-of-fashion-ba-graduate-show-2012/ Contact.

Tidy Up The Commotion

BA (Hons) Fashion: Design Technology (Footwear Design)

The work reflects conceptual meanings behind a series of neatly organised objects in various visual manifestos. The main inspiration derives from the works of Ursus Werhli. Through mixing ordinary scattered elements into a minimal and controlled arrangement, there is a new perception of the original. It is a double take of imagery which becomes a personal documentation, similar creating a time capsule. Pieces are split apart or flatten out, only to construct an altered form. This is taking an existing object, transforming into a personal idea to the object. Decorative stitch details enhances the outlook of basic footwear silhouettes in the design. However, such details may have to be toned down to balance the shapes from the sole units. MDF takes form of the experimental stages of constructing the sole unit. The sections are made of series of laser cut shapes through the basic outline construction from Rhino. These panels that joins together creates the heel and other sole units. Acrylic is the final selection material wise as it is lightweight, fragile when it is in pieces but durable once they join up.

MA Fashion Design Technology, Womenswear

The main discussion in this project is “ The inability of humans to stay still.” I wanted to express a concept about returning to one’s original nature, looking at nomads, their life and the nature power of making clothes from a new angle, with an idea about time and memory. The nomadic life style, especially in Central Asia, is one focus in my research. Nomads’ everyday dress, accessories and daily essentials, the places they live and their hand-weaving technique also work as design references in this project. “Time & Memory” went through the collection construction. This idea is shown mainly through the manufacturing methodology in the project. Edges of the fabrics were loosed naturally during the manufacturing process. The seaming methodology is complex. I needed to use hand stitching in the whole collection in order to present the natural power of making clothes. Traces of machines are not seen in the project. Fringes were created in some parts of the seams on the garments. Yarn-dyed woven fabrics are important materials in the project and an organic colour scheme is used to emphasize the concept.

Alpaca

MA Fashion and the Environment

My practice encourages the fashion industry to further engage with unique fine fibres from alternative sources such as camel, yak, alpaca, llama, musk ox, bison and rare breed sheep, among others. This will ensure that biodiversity and genetic variation continues to flourish on earth within both wild and domesticated species. The use of various different uniquely performing animal fibres in fashion knitwear is not only crucial in order to avoid homogeneity in fashion garments, but more importantly for general ecosystem health as the loss of biodiversity is counted among one of the 9 most pressing environmental issues facing us today (Planetary boundaries, 2009). A knitwear collection using many of these unique animal fibres, alongside an educational guide to the sustainable benefits and impacts of the continued development of these worldwide fibre niches was created to highlight the importance of biodiversity in fashion fibre consumption. www.liz-spencer.com liz@liz-spencer.com

'APPEARance. A play by Marchesa Casati'. Exhibition at London's Brompton Cemetery Chapel, 25 - 31 May 2013.

MA Fashion Curation

I EVOKE MUSES AND RESUSCITATE DIVAS. I graduated in Fashion Design at Politecnico in Milan in 2008 with a project on Chanel and menswear, a reinterpretation of her iconic suit, juxtaposed with transformable wear. Grade: 100/110. I have recently completed my master's degree in Fashion Curation at London College of Fashion with a project on the Italian noblewoman Marchesa Luisa Casati, whose fashion and art deeds inspired countless artists of her time and still retain a big influence on contemporary fashion. My research will be presented at London College of Fashion MA Show at Victoria House, London, in February 2013: a 45-minute documentary will be shown during the exhibition and will feature interviews with curators as well as footages from fashion shows and films. My main field of research is that of fashion and music, first developed in the fictitious exhibition 'ON A CLEAR DAY: Barbra At The Pavilion', which created a parallel between the artistic vision of the Prince Regent and that of Streisand. Then, being chosen as keynote speaker by the Costume Society UK for their annual Study Day in 2012 represented a big step in my career. Together with my collaborator Giuseppe Meduri, I developed a research on the exploitation of costumes by music divas in the creation of their stage personae. Although the speech focused only on popular music divas from the 1850s onwards, the project behind this research is a book on the history of all music divas, which we expect to be published in 2014. I am now currently on an exhibition on Chanel by Professor Amy De La Haye which will open at London College of Fashion in September 2013. My role is that of assistant as well as coordinator of the Italian stop of this touring exhibition. I worked from October 2010 to September 2011 at Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como, Italy, as assistant curator and graphic designer. www.fondazioneratti.org I also interned at Kerry Taylor Auctions and GAMeC, the modern and contemporary art gallery of Bergamo, Italy. For more information on my researches, please contact me at matteo.augello@hotmail.it

Open wardrobe F/W 2013 Have you ever experienced browsing your beloved clothes and finally mess up the wardrobes? In the research study, some consumers might have already forgotten some of their clothings left in the wardrobe. These clothes have been abandoned in the wardrobes. It is an indication of over-consumption. The question of ‘the most memorial clothes’ was to investigate how the clothes evoke their memories. ‘The secret world of haute couture’ is a documentary programme in the UK in 2007, Betsy Bloomingdale intended to develop a way of memorable clothes. ‘Memory is the treasure house of the mind wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved’ (Fuller n.d.). Eva believes the linkage between memory and fashion in a way of expressing the importance of sustainability become essential in this research study. Therefore, this collection examines ways of extending the life cycle of clothes though attaching emotional values and how the colours and shinny fabrics work with storage system that could arouse people awareness of the neglected clothings/desire. As a designer, it is desirable to propose an attitude of appreciation to our consuming goods and in a sense of making customers understanding their participation in the consuming cycle with the natural resources, which might otherwise go unnoticed. The collection “Open Wardrobe” aims to encourage people to reveal their wardrobes and to treasure their existing clothes.
