BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

My work has been heavily influenced through the fascination of social media. Social media is an interactive platform designed to connect people through the forms of online technology. Its influence on today’s society is so vast that it has become a necessity for online presence and a voice to be heard. Its relevance to fashion is paramount to the fast pace industry which relies on updating itself overnight. What is interesting about this concept are the groups of people who are not aware of social media. Tribal cultures, those devoted to faith, and certainly the older generation have managed to sustain a comfortable lifestyle without the urge of updating their newsfeed. My aim throughout design is to show this idea through experimentation of textile materials and knitting techniques. 'Fashion Clothes are adapting to fit iPads. Designer Lucy Borland has made a coat with iPad-sized pockets because, she says, “people cannot be without their tablets and have to feel close to the internet at all times”. Her coat is even designed to look similar to an iPad, with metallic Lurex.' (Susannah Butter, Evening Standard, April 2013)

Holley Potts BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear http://showtime.arts.ac.uk/HolleyPotts Chemical substances can alter the mind. One’s perception of reality is changed, whether by emotions, visual enhancement, highs and lows. Researching how they were originally used medicinally, but now widely taken for recreational use, I looked at today’s underground music scene. Taking inspiration ranging from the early Opium Dens in China for some of my details, shapes and quilting to Ernest Shackleton for silhouette and tailoring amongst other influences. The vivid hues of the high and the dark greys of the lows gave me a colour distortion which is reflected in my silk digital prints. As a designer, I feel that most art forms should be integrated with practicality and this should also apply to fashion. I have, therefore, designed a Ready-To-Wear collection which can also be mixed and matched for a more sophisticated look. By contrasting the textures of fine silks and simple jerseys, I have created a high end, contemporary look, simplified by a casual sports influence. ± AW/13 Collection Lookbook: DIRECTION - Holley Potts PHOTOGRAPHY - Tamzin Haughton www.tamzinhaughton.com HAIR & MAKEUP - Marie Bruce MODEL - Rachel Christianos STYLIST - Rita Shi ± Lineup : PHOTOGRAPHY - Hanna Hillier www.hanna-hillier.com HAIR & MAKEUP - Amber Pitkin MODEL - Amber Pitkin amberpitkin.wix.com/ambermua ± WEBSITE: www.holleypotts.com ± Interning Experience: Richard Nicoll May 2012 - July 2012 Giles Deacon November 2011 - March 2012 Selfridges: Marketing Department July 2007 - August 2007

Freelance Fashion and Print Textile Designer Contact: davidross99@hotmail.com The Collections feature a contrasting love of sculptured, tailoring and fitted shapes on the one hand, with creative cutting techniques on the other hand. The work includes subtle African print details on the finishings as well hand-painted techniques. Plastics, wool, silk....anything goes but comfort is a big aspect of the clothing. No matter how quirky it looks it is important that clothing fits beautifully and that the wearer is comfortable. These are unique one-off or limited collection pieces often with a twist to make an occasion of everyday. A woman who cannot be ugly is not beautiful.  ~Karl Krause All too often people are pressurised to look a certain way but David's collections explores shapes and silhouettes including squares that might be perceived as ugly in order to celebrate difference in human form.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology (Womenswear)

there is always a gap in the market so when i am designing garments, when i am designing I keep in mind that the garments would need to be attractive to every woman but then it would need to be a multi purpose garments so I tend to make garments that are sleeveless but I would make jersey/lycra tops with sleeves so there would be an option to over up completely or wear top sleeveless or fully sleeves.

FdA Tailoring

Studying Tailoring and creating garments that consist of tradition bespoke hand craft and production tailoring. My ideas stem from tradition and modern ways of creating design silhouettes with modern detailing and functionality. Transforming the traditional into a new way of modern traditionalism, grouping the so called 'then' to the so called 'now'. Taking a lot of my inspiration from the outdoors and juxtaposition of movement within photography and how the eye perceives certain elements of colour and shape.

BA (Hons) Fashion Jewellery

Geo Deco Collection For the 'Geo Deco Collection' I was inspired by light. There's a great energy as the sun shines in the day and when lights glow in the dark. I'm fascinated by light, and as it moves how it changes shapes, reflects and refracts. As the sun shines through coloured glass, its a delight as the hues of colours flood in its moving path. The sun mixes with water and oils to create spectrums of colour and It makes us feel happy, alive and awake... I use layers of different coloured light conducting perspex, mixed with mirrors, brass and in some pieces, LEDs. As the Jewellery moves, light catches the layers of material absorbing the lights energy, enhancing the colours as they conduct and glow brightly catching the eye. I work hard with the materials to get a great finish, to give it a polished, shiny, glassy effect and top it with brass to enrich and make it shine golden. The jewellery collection are individual pieces of art... They are structured and made to capture and entertain its audience. I like the pieces to have extra dimensions. The Jewellery is new and innovative, yet people connect as they see and find familiarities and memories within. pikkalili@live.co.uk GALLERIES MOCO LOCO Galleries http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2012/10/15/gallery-beautiful-objects-exhibition-at-the-aram-gallery.php THE ARAM GALLERY http://www.thearamgallery.org/next/ XHIBIT 2011 http://www.boidus.co.uk/?p=2755 DESIGN CATWALK http://www.designcatwalk.com/lili-colley-enlighted-jewellery/ SEE/SAW/SEEN http://www.seesawseen.co.uk/ DeTnK http://www.detnk.com/node/12050 DESIGN WEEK http://www.designweek.co.uk/whats-on/demystifying-beautiful-objects/3035438.article http://mocoloco.com/galleries/gallery/beautiful-objects-exhibition-at-the-aram-gallery/ PRESS DRAPERSonline http://www.drapersonline.com/blogs/unzipped/lcfs-college-shop-not-a-pencil-sharpener-in-sight/5041799.article Londonist http://londonist.com/2012/10/today-london-college-of-fashion-shop-opens.php GLAMUK http://glam.co.uk/2012/09/its-back-to-college-time/ COMPANY Magazine http://www.company.co.uk/fashion/news/london-college-fashion-pop-up-shop LDN Fashion http://www.ldnfashion.com/london-fashion-news/london-college-of-fashions-pop-up-college-shop/ Timeout Magazine WGSN http://wgsn.tumblr.com/post/30987031794 Elle UK.com http://m.elleuk.com/fashion/shopping-blog/the-lcf-college-shop-returns Viora Magazine http://www.vioromagazine.it/photogallery/ Dew Magazine http://www.dewmagazine.com/issuu/06newworld.html http://elegiac-circus.tumblr.com/post/31019347447/lili-colley http://pinterest.com/thedefiant/magazine-volume-1-5-future-bioculture-aw12-ss13/ - Style Bubble http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2012/07/shoes-n-things.html · Tatler.com Catwalk review with emphasis on VIP and Celebs http://www.tatler.com/bystander/events/2012/june/london-college-of-fashion-graduate-show#/7516/image/1 - Vogue.co.uk http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2012/06/29/london-college-of-fashion-ba-show - Evening Standard http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/fashion/all-the-trimmings-london-fashion-graduates-prove-they-have-a-bright-future-7898848.html?origin=internalSearch - Fashion156.com http://www.fashion156.com/collections/london-college-of-fashion-ba-graduate-show-2012/ · Style Bubble Susie Lau’s influential fashion blog– Catwalk highlights: http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2012/07/hackney-house-antics.html · Catwalk Queen Catwalk show review: http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/2012/07/london_college_6.html · Dash Magazine online Catwalk show review http://www.fashiondash.net/?p=3226 · Adorn Girl Fashion Blog: http://adorngirl.com/london-college-of-fashion-ba-graduate-exhibition-2012/ Exhibition review http://adorngirl.com/robert-wun-fashion-designer/ spotlight on Robert Wun http://adorngirl.com/london-college-of-fashion-ba-graduate-catwalk-2012/ Catwalk show review http://adorngirl.com/london-college-of-fashion-ba-2012-catwalk-backstage/ Backstage images · Luxsure French luxury magazine: http://www.luxsure.fr/2012/07/01/london-college-of-fashion-graduate-show-2012/ · Fashion Bite (Fashion blog) Catwalk show review: http://fashionbite.co.uk/2012/07/04/london-college-of-fashion-runway-show-class-of-2012/#more-11721 · Better Never Than Late (blog) Image Gallery of Backstage at Catwalk Show: http://bntl.co.uk/2012/07/03/backstage-lcf-press-show/ · Fashion Insight (Trade publication) Catwalk review http://fashioninsightfeatures.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/london-college-of-fashion-ba-season.html · EStyler Magazine Image gallery of all designers: http://estylermagazine.com/interviews · The Upcoming (fashion and news blog) Catwalk show review: http://www.theupcoming.co.uk/2012/07/02/london-college-of-fashion-ba-and-fda-show/ · Now Fashion Catwalk show image gallery: http://nowfashion.com/28-06-2012-london-college-of-fashion-2012-part-1-live-event-event-2256.html

BA (Hons) Fashion Photography

For my major project, I was inspired by Tarkovsky's film Stalker, which raises questions about humanity. The styling consists of flimsy, delicate pieces which represents our fragility and the series finishes with darker pieces, a metaphor for death.The forest is a deep and transformative place, an unknown and strange limbo: a transgressive landscape between the security of being a student and graduating. My project was photographed using 5x4 polaroid, which gives an ethereal feeling. I prefer to shoot with polaroid and film rather than digital. I've also included a couple of photos taken for a menswear student. (www.zachariahrichard-simons.com). I'm always looking to work with new designers, makeup artists and stylists.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

A Surface Textiles for Fashion student specializing in embroidery and embellishment. ‘Medicate Me’ is a high-end ready to wear womenswear collection, designed with the intention of retailing during Spring/Summer 2014. This collection demonstrates the collision of contemporary and traditional approaches to medicine, through the exploration of Native American culture and advances in scientific medicine.It strives to encourage the viewer to evaluate their own thoughts and approaches to scientific medicine, and how media coverage of its successes and failures has shaped these opinions. This also encourages a curiosity into the alternatives; thus this collection explores a differing approach, in particular the Navajo and Sioux’s belief in medicine ceremonies, amulets and symbolic belief in healing.To achieve this the collection draws upon a textile tradition, and transforms it to demonstrate a clinical aesthetic which will appeal to the contemporary consumer. Exploration of new materials has allowed for highly creative and innovative textile development through embroidery processes, that reflect on traditional craftsmanship, whilst evoking a clinical and medicinal aesthetic. This creates a collection that will look modern, clean yet be engulfed in embellishment created from plastics.
