MA Digital Fashion

I am an award winning 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.

(****Please mention the the ownership of the photos as the title of each photo above if you want to share or publish online, thanks you;)) A small mens collection which makes use of series of hand movement especially hug to express how the (dis) connection between people to people and the loneliness by my experience. Some keywords have become the main points of my collection. “Hugs”, “Communication”, “Interesting”, “Fun”, “flourishing”, “a bit implication of sex”, “comfort”, “to be protected”, “to be surrounded”, ‘to cherish"“warmth”, “memory”, "happiness", “childhood”, “lifetime”, ”Let go”, etc. Interaction and communication are the action to express love and depart from loneliness between human beings. 'Hands" is the key point of the collection as very figurative object to express this abstract idea. Moreover, this small collection is developed like a short story of life. The 6 outfits represent their own story and meaning respectively. In order to make people feel warm and hugged, some of the clothes would be padding and the hands (gloves) would be adding wad to make it looks puffy as childish soft toys. Some pieces are also to keep repeating a certain part (For example, sleeves) to make people feeling full and not alone or enlarge the scale by magnifying a certain part on clothes, which makes people feel a sense of relief. Everybody needs love, Don't you?

MA Fashion Media Production

Creative Director Graduated: LCF - Fda Special Make Up and Hair Designs for Fashion Editorial Image Istituto Marangoni - BA Fashion Styling LCF - MA Fashion Media Production I have been studying for 7 years in London, as well freelance first from Makeup/Hair artist, Stylist to Art/Creative Director. (8 years) Janna Rean - Creative Director/Project Coordinator Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will. - George Bernard Shaw Straddling the cultural divides of my homeland in Russia and my roots in Ancient Assyria I am able to produce a unique style and concept in an image that will stand out from the rest and tell a story about my background, and most importantly about my personality. Having the two different backgrounds helps me to see and express the images in different styles and ways; from edgy, dark, bold, solid, and eccentric to over the top, bright, colourful and sometimes romantic. Seven years ago my creative life has commenced as Make Up Artist and Stylist, which gradually built up the variety of knowledge and experience. Thereafter, my passion has led me to direction and organizational skills in producing still and moving image, i.e. editorial shoots, fashion/art/abstract short films. As a visual individual, my passion and will is in creating meaningful pieces and narratives that help me escape from the brutal, dull world into another dimension - my way of seeing and understanding - my inner world, that I would like to share with alike Creatives and people in general. My inspiration and research comes from a range of aspects... from the streets, architecture and nature to the psychology and philosophy of one's identity, mind, body and shapes and colours. ________________ www.jannarean.com Special MA Project: http://jannarean.com/evp/ imagemaker@jannarean.com 07852117424

MA Fashion and the Environment

everyday was special I believe that clothes should be active in the role for which they were designed: being worn. Keeping something for a long time, but not wearing it, is not sustainable behaviour, it is simply storing waste within the wardrobe. I discovered a high level of waste, in the form of inactive special occasion wear, within women’s wardrobes. Inactive clothes may have been previously worn or never worn, but they are judged unsuitable for either current use or disposal, and so hang passively in the wardrobe. These clothes represent wasted resources, energy and labour, as well as the wasted potential to bring joy through wear. Inactive garments also increase consumption by necessitating the purchase of additional clothing to be worn in their place. Everyday was Special attempts to bring inactive clothing into active use through the creation of evolving textiles that allow a narrative with the past, are appropriate to the present, and grow more personal into the future. To meet this aim, I developed organic bio-plastic sequins coloured with natural dyes to adorn special occasion wear. The life span of these sequins is appropriate to the average use of special occasion wear: two or three events. These bright sequins are designed to shimmer at special occasions before melting away to produce new colour and pattern, utilising existing materials whilst retaining joyful memories. Everyday garments emerge that celebrate the ephemeral as they become enduring: everyday clothes that were once special clothes. photographer _ Claudia Brookes model _ Pin-Hsiu Chen Please contact me for more information: racheleclowes@hotmail.com

MA Fashion Design Technology (Womenswear)

Eva Lojdova is a womenswear designer, who recently completed her Masters in Fashion Design and Technology, Womenswear at London College of Fashion. Eva is a high creative person who takes initiative to be involved in all aspects of the fashion field. She has a previous work experience in the fashion industry. She gained industry experience amongst others with Alexander McQueen. The aim of Eva’s collection was to blur the boundaries between fashion design and art work but with the expectation that the collection would remain wearable. The garments are design to challenge the notions of structure, form and drape. The garments are like sculptures, which should be aesthetically pleasing from different angles and create an overall harmony where the dressmaking becomes craftsmanship and wearable piece of art. The collection is inspired by work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The environmental work that the pair creates is located in populated landscapes. Their creations are mostly made of fabric which is wrapped around famous buildings, bridges or even coastlines. The idea of wrapping a firm construction with a soft fabric is conceptual but it also makes a visual statement. The draped fabric alters the meaning of the architecture and creates an immediate aesthetic impact. The fabric changes the whole feeling about the firm shapes and hides the details of the forms, revealing only essential structure. There is a relationship between contrasting materials that creates captivating visual effect.

2006-2009 ; (BA) Fashion design and technology Womenswear 2012-2013 ; (MA) Fashion design and technology Menswear Fashion and textile is becoming a centre of the study of new materials and techniques. Science and fashion is in symbiotic relation; normally they combine to attain better function, with this purpose in mind, I would like to apply other fields such as science and biology into the fashion to invent new design. Such new experiment and project seemed more encouraged to boost up the market since the commercial shrinkage and was able to express myself more conceptually. Variation of my experience and knowledge will become important contributor to other labels and companies in the future. www.yunjeongyang.com

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 Contact: Suolivia1@gmail.com http://renlisu.tumblr.com/ Image Credit/ Photographer/ Raymond Tan .

MA Fashion Footwear

Based in London with a background in a combination of product, furniture design and fashion accessories. The focus of the MA was... The Objectification of the Shoe The project started with the examination of how 3D printing could alter footwear architecture and identify new design constructions. Observations were made that whilst the potential of this new technology offers many benefits the materiality was limited. There seems to be a lack of natural materials used. This lead to the critical theory 3D print is the right process but maybe using the wrong materials? So practical research was made into the use of non wovens as a potential material arrangement which could be developed by specialists to drive the materials used in 3D print. A collection of varied natural non woven materials were selected and applied to a methodology in a masters educational context. By concentrating the fibres and adding binders, the properties and characteristics could change, producing both soft and hard material over one continuous surface. Innovative materials used in the product and furniture industries were "borrowed" and applied to fashion footwear raising further challenges as to what materials are acceptable, in a trend lead fashion context. The design form was the element unifying the collection. As the project progressed it became evident, synthetic biology will converge with 3D print to offer solutions to these issue. A designer’s understanding of trends and emotional qualities of materials make them key to drive the new technologies in fashion and science.

MA Fashion Curation

■ PROFILE With a background in Communication Studies, during the MA in Fashion Curation I have continually questioned how the essence of a garment can be most effectively communicated through the static display of dress. Recognising ‘movement’ as a key element to this communication, my final MA project identified two approaches to ‘revive’ the traditional static display of dress within the museum space: the introduction of performance and new applications of technology. Through this research I have recognised the importance and potential for the museum space as a site for fashion communication. Curatorial and research interests include: New Technology, Fashion Film and Performance. ■ CHOREOGRAPHING DRESS My final project manifested as a guide for curators and museums to enhance communication within the fashion exhibition. Eight interventions were identified from extensive research as having the potential to actualise a 'choreography of dress', ultimately challenging the static presentation of dress within the museum space. ■ FASHION CURATION'13 Through a collaboration with fellow graduates Fiona McKay and Xenia Capacete-Caballero, we have realised our homogenous ideas about the future progression of fashion curation through a multi-media installation, exhibited at the MA13 Exhibition at Victoria House, London in February 2013. The installation included a 3D scan, an immersive fashion film and an integrated online component, which was created around the archive of the collector, Fraser Laing of General Eyewear (formally Arckiv) ■ RECENT CURATORIAL PROJECTS → Shwop Shop Installations for Marks & Spencers, Marble Arch London→ Footprints Exhibition at Central Saint Martins → Manipulating Surface: Portuguese Craftsmanship.

MA Costume Design For Performance

I am a fine artist exploring issues surrounding the 'body' through live art performance and sculptural 'costume'. My practice challenges the idea of the baroque feminine body in its excesses... Also, the notion of restrictive and 'unwearable' costume is inherent within my practice.

MA Costume Design For Performance

I have a strong interest in the “performing costume”. My work evolves around the exploration of unusual materials and challenging and interactive designs for the moving body. I am meticulous by nature and have an affinity for construction, which is reflected in my creations.

MA Fashion and the Environment

This project has two aims: to show that sustainable fashion using locally-sourced botanical dyes can be relevant and contemporary in today's society; and to advocate that natural seasonal cycles, rather than industrial demands alone, can profitably inspire the rhythm of fashion The collection was created in East London; sourcing the dye plants was local, the majority within a radius of 15 miles. This area then became the artistic backdrop to the collection. This fashion collection, in its origin and development process, explores a vital tension that sustains fashion: the tension between commercial worth and a striving towards other, personal values. Such values are inherent to the artistic impulse in any age. In the 21st-century they are the zeitgeist, heralding an ecological vision — of clothing and identity, of personal autonomy and shared sufficiency, of personal aesthetics and wider commercial viability. The point is that the vitality of this tension is celebrated in sustainable fashion. Tension is equally apparent in the collection's aesthetics: in the contrasts between light silk and heavy canvas, clean lines and obvious handwork, and between dyed and un-dyed pieces. There is even deliberate naughtiness in the design of open two-piece knickers to counteract a perception that sustainable fashion must be wholesome or even rather puritan. Playful, sensual garments allude to the pleasure principles at the heart of the Slow Food Movement. Food is a continuing theme, explored through following the journey of re-dyed Japanese restaurant aprons to designing an original harvest apron worn by two people. Photography: Agnes Lloyd-Platt
