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 to 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 displaced and dis-located. Facial and bodily shapes like Dali's figures, bleed out from their original contours to merge into each other and melt into the earth to create a distorted and exaggerated, foreign landscape - this has become the "middle eastern" ethnoscape, 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 who perceive the ethnic other through an orientalism lens that convolutes identity with stereotyped visions that have been democratised through orientalist art and mass media, we isolate ourselves through de-familiarity with the rest of the world and its diverse beauty.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology (Womenswear)

Oksana Anilionyte I would like to thank Saga Furs for a wonderful sponsorship. Collection is based on idea of a soft control. The collection is an investigation into inter-relation of minimalism and modern women. I found my inspiration in Michelangelo Antonioni films L’Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), Eclipse (1962) and Il deserto rosso (1964). His films concentrate on how the modern world influence people and their feelings. Personal feelings, doubts, moods are substance of the films. The works and processes of Robert Morris, Tony Cragg and Daniel Arsham sculptures and abstract painting of Dale Frank served as the initial inspiration for the silhouette, colour, texture and details of the collection. The aim was to mix different techniques and inspirations to reach new and unexpected levels. I embraced the complexities and simplicities by different techniques to reinvent a version of femininity. Robert Morris felt sculptures led to create new ways of using seams to express the fluidity of line. The collection is a lot about the lines that are so pure, so clear, that they convey simplicity in their perfection. The purity is combined with texture that comes from tufting embroidery and soft fur to create a new level of feelings that garments create when touched. A dialogue between time and timelessness runs through the progression of the minimalist aesthetic which is felt in fluidity of seam lines. The collection incorporates a range of luxury fabrics (cashmere, wool, silk, fur, leather) to examine the balance between textures, silhouette and a purity of line.

Having bold and graphic design aesthetic, this collection aims to visually reflect the idea of taking things out of their originally sensitive and controversial contexts in order to create new ideas. By providing visuals of The Third Reich uniforms, graphic design and German Folk clothing, the collection tries to propose a concept, in which people look at things without automatically trying to connect them to their primarily negative connotations.

Textiles Designer

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

Surface Textiles for Fashion Design, specialising in Knitwear. The collection is inspired by the oppression experienced by Native American Indians and looks at the issue of displacement. The technique of partial knitting is used to create unstructured shape and form. The colours have derived from aspects of globalisation such as; Casinos. This has enabled the experimentation of several colours and use of Lurex yarn, which has formed the aesthetic of the Autumn/Winter 2014 outerwear collection. Textile samples are the initial developmental process from research, which are developed onto the body. This aids in construction of a garment and it is the method I employ to develop and experiment. I work in a way where my samples take control to form structure on the body and decide carefully which techniques I believe would illustrate this best.

My work always strives to be unique, and I tend to bury myself in deep research for a better understanding of my inspirations. My present collection is called 'Sexual Liberation' with the main concept of liberating women from society's sexual constraints and embracing their own bodies for what they are. My main themes include the Slutwalk protests of 2012, The infamous groupies of the 70's and the Item girls of the Indian film industry. Combined together, was born my collection.

The overall design intensions of this project is to portray Hollywood glamour with modern connotations. Essentially this is a light and dark project which will be looking at the face value visuals of beautiful movie icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth taylor etc. This project will be looking into how they were perceived contrasted by who they really were behind the scenes. By researching into these icons lives by watching their movies and contrasting the findings against TV documentaries, biographies and the added aid of artistic blogs, information can be taken to expand on the counterpoints of the concept. Most of these women had hidden personalities; a 'darker side'. This 'dark side' could be seen in many ways; alcoholism, prescription drug abuse, a woman's sexual needs, bad choice in men or even general unhappiness despite their fame and fortune. This 'dark side' is an opposition to how they were seen, how they really felt and how it all affected them. A hidden personality that was almost like being behind a mask of fame, glamour and beauty. In conclusion, there is a victorian quote from a man's point of view of women; “women are slaves to their own emotions”.

CAPITOLISM. Defining the "Beautifully Vulgar" a voyage into fashion and the human condition, and the relationships between the two. Clothing should be more than a means to an end, the ethos here is that whilst garments should always be wearable, practical, and invoke a sense of security, they must also have a certain edge, in order to separate themselves, and make the wearer feel special. This body of work, was created to appropriately explain the links between this sense of security in uncertain times, and peoples fashion requirements. Contact: daniel.hunter1989@me.com
