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, where 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. Footwear Photo Credit - Photographer: Cliff Tan --- Right now, I am studying at London College of Fashion, specialising in Footwear Design plus seeking industry experience. Watch out for developments on my blog (either): - lisateng.com - lisa-teng.blogspot.com I'm always looking for new innovation on the go. I give a fresh spin to an existing concept. I'm willing to learn more along the way.

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development

BRAND CONCEPT Mobility, Style & Comfort is the heart of Holiday footwear. The brand's ultimate goal is to establish a reputation for the perfect city holiday shoes - hence the name Holiday - for the women who are creative, independent and well travelled. DESIGN INSPIRATION "Homelessness is coming to be the destiny of the world... In fashion, in particular, we are all migrants, and there is no such place as home." - Martin Heidegger The designer wanted to describe the sense of rootlessness, which she more or less felt as a child growing up in two different cultures (Japan and England), and has influenced the brand and design concept to evolve heavily around the key theme of 'travellers'. Travellers of no permanent adobe, such as gypsies and nomads, inspired Hiroe with its simple and primitive methods of construction seen in their clothing and dwelling. She adapted the wet-molding technique into an original and unique construction which was achieved by unifying traditional shoemaking from various cultures, successfully characterizing the ambiguous sense of belonging to everywhere and nowhere, by deploying essences from 'everywhere' but the outcome to represent 'nowhere'. ABOUT THE DESIGNER Having a background in product design, Hiroe has keen eyes for details from stages of construction, and aims to produce honest designs at a high level of standard that is exciting and transcend trends. Hiroe has gained invaluable work experience at Celine, Chau Har Lee and Acne. She is currently seeking employment in the footwear/fashion industry.

Joe Cho A/W 13 collection

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Menswear

I pursue the off-the-rack clothes than splashy avant-garde garments and put stress on the practicality of clothes. My design philosophy is to make modern, chic and futuristic garments. My concept is starting from the theory of a parallel universe. I was always longing to see another version of me in another world. In 2013, an earth in another universe, the western era still exists. Over a long historical period from the “Wild West” era to the present day, the division between the native Indians and Americans has disappeared. Just like individual cultures may harmonize and mix in history, their attire appeared to have mixed without distinction in this different universe. For instance, a person who has cowboy clothes on him might be wearing Indian pants and a person with Indian clothes on him might be wearing cowboy chaps. In this universe, many people are afraid of going out because of gang named ‘PROPER’. I am a sheriff with the purpose of catching a notorious gang of 6. I search out to block them with photographs of the wanted. In order to show these 6 gangsters, that is 6 lineups, I expressed it by including the Indian details on the basis of the silhouette of 1870’s in Western movies. I think that the clothes must give the feeling of the old west and at the same time, masculinity must be magnified in them minimally and futuristically.

Gayev, The Cherry Orchard by A. Chekhov

MA Costume Design For Performance

I began my career in fashion, passionate by the way clothing is a cultural personal reflection, and a key tool for communication. This MA aloud me to explore deeper into the sociological/psychological side of color and garments, and how its slight changes can be properly used to develop a storyline. As my Final Major Project I worked in the opera "Madama Butterfly" by Giacomo Puccini, as a contemporary dance piece. Making the "set" able to operate as part of the costume to represent how she is born, raised and trapped in a moral system and how that influences identity and freedom. For my film project, based on "The Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov, I chose Magic Realism as my context, particularly Jan Saudek's visual language, which I found a perfect match for the decadent, familiar story with reminiscences of ingenuity and hope. My character, Gayev, was a grown Peter Pan, led to Neverwhere by his fruit drops and billiard games. For my on-stage project, based on the opera "The Cunning Little Vixen" by Leos Janacek, I researched on the Steam punk movement and aesthetics, to represent the duality of humanized animals, the brownish colors of the farm, and the fact that the hens are a flesh machine to be used until it breaks.

Final-Techno

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development

Brand Image & Design Inspiration The brand’s ultimate target is to combine aesthetic and technology. The current conceptive fashion and interactive technique embedded garment, those most likely have prestigious technology involved, are still in the stage of bulkinesss, modernity and geometric silhouette. Technology has often been linked to Supermodern clothing, which is defined by ‘contemporary urban metropolis, responding physical and psychology demands of traditional spaces where modern life take place.’ (Bolton, 2002 p.7) In other words, most technological fashion products are structural and architectural inspired. However, there has yet to be a brand that merged technology with classic, flowing silhouette and femininity. The Unique Selling Point of the brand is to combine top edge technology and high-end classic ethereal style to create a new blend of conceptual contemporary fashion. This project is aiming to create a brand, which produces high-tech clothing that provides proper attention to both aesthetic and interactivity, by producing technological garments, which still contain beauty and wearability, CHlin is willing to bring conceptual creations to people’s life, rather than just pieces for exhibition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Personal Profile A passionate and skillful student with eyes of creativity and technical practicality. Having the background of majored in scientific territory during high school, and now trained creativity and aesthetic in London College of Fashion. Equipped with a wide range of IT skills from Adobe suites, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, to Gerber Accumark and Optitex.

A Multitude of Hybrids SS13: Sunglasses detail

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

The concept for my collection 'A Multitude of Hybrids' derived from my culture; looking into the meanings behind Composite Hindu Gods and through further research into the myths and stories of Medieval Bestiaries. I was intrigued by the stories about all of these beautiful and mythical creatures and so began to focus my attention on the exciting textures used. Through expressive mark making i created print ideas that were reminiscent of the textures of these creatures. All prints were hand screen printed using a variety of techniques including discharge, colour discharge, pigment and foil. Discharge print technique holds great significance through collection to echo concept of reincarnation. The concept of hybrids was emphasised through the use of specialist Tanaka machinery to create embroidery on the front and back of each garment to merge fabrics together. Silhouettes were inspired by contemporary sportswear providing a youthful and urban feeling to contrast with the traditional craft processes used. Fabric and colour choices derived from initial sourcing in India to echo wealth of culture and contemporary sportswear to modernise traditional and almost expected combinations.

Patchwork bomber jacket and visor by Rose Irwin, swimsuit by Diana Auria and jewellery by Lili Colley

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology (Womenswear)

London based Womenswear designer, strong focus on craft enhanced by creative pattern-cutting. EDUCATION: London College of Fashion: BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear University for the Creative Arts, Farnham,Surrey. Foundation Dipolma: Fashion and Textiles St John the Baptist Sixth Form: 9 A/AS Levels A-C WORK EXPERIENCE: Topshop: Design Role/ Assisting Tailoring Designers Jonathan Saunders: Pattern Cutting / Production Intern Tatty Devine: Studio assistant Davina Hawthorne: Studio assistant Originating from a desire to achieve both pattern and texture from my designs, I adopted the unique craft of patchwork. I looked at the Amish Lancaster quilts for colour inspiration and fused this colour saturated pallette with fresh pastels and fluros from the British 80's 'street' look. With contextual research exploring 70's fashions and fads (an era that has earned itself the title of 'Fashion's Wasteland' and the 'Decade style forgot), I found much enjoyment in analysing the fashion 'faux-pas' and novelty of Glam Rock dress, and the contrast with the mass-produced world of catalogue clothing. The technique of patchwork for me contains heritage, creativity and individuality ,patching each section of fabric together separately. My collection was made predominately of silks - taffetas, crepe de chines, sand-washed and satins. The use of the different types of silk cut on different angles, complemented by pattern and colour, is what I have found most enjoyable in making my collection. I have recently designed a range of digitally printed silk scarves to accompany my collection ,along with a selection of perspex patchwork visors for the LCF Press show ,which I have found exciting to design. The end result has been bold, impactful and vibrant! The intention of the collection has been achieved in the production of a range which is wearable in the most practical sense- yet stand-out in its colours and craft.

LCF catwalk

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development

Young london designer spreading positive social statements through her creative body of work. Her graduate range is called 'Fashion Vs Abuse' & has been inspired by the alarming rates of abuse within society today. The clothing has been designed with protective elements including buckles, animalistic feathers, custom crystallised rebellious spikes and the colour palette stripped down to a tonal nude spectrum. The headgear implies that women have no say when being abused & the harness restricts your body movement. The 'armoured crab' jacket is designed to enhance your confidence & the 'fleshed body' plays on female vulnerability. Alongside the clothing she developed a fashion technology product which is a combined rape/SOS alarm fashion accessory that works by sending a Bluetooth signal to your smartphone to send out a danger alert to a family member using its GPS technology to locate you. It also gives abuse victims confidence to walk the streets again as well as women walking home at night.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology (Surface Textiles)

Copyright © Stephanie Ghoussain 2012 I am a surface textiles designer specialising in digital printed textiles, computer aided design and embroidery techniques. I use textiles, specifically print as a storytelling tool; colour, shape and texture punctuate my collections in playful combinations. Drawing is key in my design process, along with 3d experimentation, collage and redrawing from photographic manipulations. My aesthetic is free and fluid with sobering elements of geometry from traditional Middle Eastern textiles. My recent work is inspired by Edward Said's concept of "Orientalism" - the portrayal of stereotypical Middle Eastern identities in the western media and the representation of ethnic identities through an orientalism "lens". The prints for this collection portray a landscape of ethnic bodies: as lines they are dislocated. Facial and bodily shapes like Dali's figures, merge into each other and melt into the earth to create a distorted and exaggerated, foreign landscape - this has become the "middle east", perceived historically and contemporaneously in art and literature. The aestheticisation of the concept has come from my process of research and exploration of the theme of distorted ethnic identities. The faces of ethnically diverse women in London have been photographed through concave ad convex lenses to create exaggerated proportions and distortions of their physical identities. These photos have been further distorted using web cams and digital software. I have drawn from these images in a style that is free and fluid, black and white to begin with and then re-coloured, again offering another distorted perspective of reality. The silhouettes for my collection consider what a world post-orientalism would be like. Oversized in proportion and layered with printed fabric the wearer is covered in story upon story, reinterpreted, and re-portrayed from various angles of the orientalism lens, the body’s own curves and proportions are obscured, individual history is replaced by a story of colonial history and images of ideological colonisation. Post apocalyptic feelings of isolation and anxiety or fear of the ethnic other come into play with the mood. As people perceive the ethnic other through an orientalism lens that convolutes identity with stereotyped visions seen in orientalist art and mass media, they only succeed to isolate themselves through de-familiarity with the rest of the world and its diverse beauty.

ILLUSTRATION RED

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear

Post-Eschatologist is a collection visualizing a hypothetical ending. It is a reaction to the paranoia surrounding the Mayan 2012 doomsday phenomenon and more importantly a response to recent conflicts with Government and turmoil caused by social upheaval and rioting. If the world were truly to end, what cultures and values would we lose, and more interestingly, what would re-emerge? The key concepts are primitive protection, ethnic utilitarianism, and poetic fragility. This collection looks into how people have dealt with hardship in the past in post-war eras, evidence of military presence translates into the tough and rugged steel buckles and belt loops found in harnessed garments. The clash of the hardware with surrounding delicate silks and unraveling edges evoke a feeling of the utilitarian uniform deteriorating into elegance scarred from a harsh, bygone era. Gauze cut on the selvedge gives a nod to the days of rationing and armor-like, geometrical jade beading on knitted net merge ancient Mayan ritual with ammunition shells. The juxtaposition of emergency mylar-fused fabric, protective neoprene backed wool, and distressed gauze is a prediction of what might be to come. Spliced furs from varying textures, colours, and lengths create forms reminiscent of wild animals but with new, unfamiliar, and almost impossible characteristics suggesting new a species. Taking hints from the past, Post-Eschatologist brings melancholic emotions and ceremonial cultures into modern day with sensitivity towards materials, texture, and proportion.
