FdA Cordwainers Footwear Design

My intense and lasting curiosity about life in all shapes and forms lead me into a Biology degree and the exciting art of bringing into existence that which is only in my imagination has brought me into the extraordinary field of footwear design. My work is strongly influenced by nature, its complexities and how everything is connected.

The collection seeks to explore techniques of narration, through focusing on early colour developments in cinema and the point in which rehearsal becomes performance within theatre. Colour plays a central part, with ideas stemming from an exploration into Technicolor, aiming to capture the saturated yet fragile qualities of early moving image. Fabric choice is informed by colour experiments, comparing how the colour of an object changes when it is photographed digitally or using 35 mm film. The aim is to create garments which appear ‘analogue’ in colour using tulle as ‘film’ or layers of ‘film’ layered upon block colour (matched to the digital images) to change the base hue to its filmic counterpart. Sections of tulle are left open in order to allow the solid undergarment to be exposed in movement, creating flickers of bright colour amongst the otherwise neutral over garments, embodying the inconsistency of colour in early moving image. Finishes are dictated by the desire to present garments that reveal process, seams themselves are exposed, edges left raw but cut precisely. Fabrics are ‘fine’ in their nature, wool crepe bonded to silk crepe back satin of the same colour to provide texture, contrasting shine with matt. Tulle is gathered in places creating light and shade coupled with found jersey t-shirting, screen-printed black on black to provide subtle textural differences. Silhouette is mostly derived from a meditation upon the transformational process a dancer engages in from rehearsal to performance. Focusing upon the layering of sportswear and costume, these elements of research were translated into a multi layered collection each piece designed to function post-minimally- simple on its own but transformational when layered in different ways.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Menswear

NOSTALGIC OBLONG – S/S 14 The starting point of the collection is the work of surrealist artist Meret Oppenheim, who explored ideas of discontinuity of appearance and inverting within her work. The idea of ‘facade’ is explored, considering the duality of the term as a means of developing the collection. Surfaces, exteriors, construction and physical elements are considered but also the idea of social constructions, reality and identity. Parallels are drawn between the idea of 'facade' and aspects of Americana culture. In particular, reference is made to 40’s and 50’s domestic American life, where there is perhaps a feeling of something darker below the idyllic imagery of this period. Using this context, a 'fake' world is imagined, set in the future, but constructed out of idealised elements of the past, particularly parts of 40's and 50's domestic America, providing the imaginary atmosphere of the collection. The moment where reality is questioned is used as inspiration. It is therefore a mood of calm serenity and peace mixed with a feeling of chaos and confusion. The films of David Cronenberg are an important reference, particularly Videodrome (1983). The collection has an 'Americana' look and is a mixture of everyday clothes reworked and presented in a confused way. The classic basic wardrobe found in the 40s 'Americana' look inspires the collection: short Harrington jackets, full leg trousers, open neck collars, v-neck jumpers and 40's style bathing-shorts. Dissecting different components from this look and presenting them in a illogical way, as if the story has been told too many times and parts have become confused, is a key idea. The silhouette is mainly loose and simple but proportions and elements are reworked in a non-traditional way. By mixing tailored pieces in experimental materials, with obscure prints, full leg trouser and handmade knitwear, an unexpected look is created. Tensions of logical and illogical, conservative and chaotic are found in the silhouette. Garments with reworked proportions sit next to classic items. Some garments are cut in an illogical way such as jackets with shoulder seams which don't connect. The idea for the collection is to show construction in a reworked way, as if it has been altered with, and is also seen in large rectangles overlapping to suggest something which has been concealed. The collection works with lines which create a simple and ‘structured’ atmosphere, like the architecture of the constructed communities in Florida, which also inspires panels which are assembled to form coats and jackets. A feeling of construction within the silhouette is present throughout. Details like pockets or asymmetrical-angle details suggest openings and surfaces which are cut-open or are coming away. Some garments are subtly asymmetrical to suggest a slight shift in reality. The collection plays on the idea that our perception of an image can change depending on how close you look, and this is also shown in the fabrication. Materials that appear painted or flat check are created through treatments like dying and bonding. Construction materials like hessian and jute are used on the exterior of garments. The grid ‘facade’ motif is visible throughout the materials of the collection; seen in 'waffle' cotton, linens and hand knit jumpers using a ‘grid’ style stitch. The use of unconventional materials next to traditional fabrics creates an atmospheric clash. Reference is made to the colour palettes found in works by Max Ernst and Meret Oppenheim but also colours from imagery of seaside towns in Florida. The main colours are brown and green, softened by various idyllic pastel colours like lavender and pale yellow, but also black. 'Bad taste' colours like mustard and powder pink are combined and overall there is a ‘wrong’ feeling to the colours of the collection. Many appear muted, giving the clothes the impression of being dusty or faded. The idea of expression through collage is key to the collection. A series of chaotic prints creates a tension with the cleaner, 40s and 50s feeling. The prints are illogical, abstract, chaotic and multi-layered, much like the of idea of expression itself. Unlike the simple repeat patterns usually found in the Americana 40s look, and compared to the simple cuts and lines of the collection, the prints feel inaccessible and complex to understand and do not fit completely with the rest of the outfit. Screen printing is also used in a layered way in order to create subtle, physically-textured surfaces. The aim of the collection is to mix different dress codes such as the 'Americana' look with more expressive elements and make them interact with one another, to create a moment which is neither past, present or future, but a situation out of time. The collection is named after a track by electronic artist Chris Clark, from the LP Clarence Park (2001).

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.

BA (Hons) Fashion Jewellery

Born in Israel, Liron Kliger is a London based jewellery designer who graduated a BA (HON) in Jewellery Fashion Design at the London College of Fashion. Liron developed a passion for jewellery design whilst completing a foundation in fashion design course at West London College, Liron developed a love for raw materials and desire to create unique pieces encompassing the form and essence of the material used. The primary influence on Liron’s work (apart from the raw materials) evolved from years spent living and travelling in cosmopolitan cities including Barcelona, Paris, Milan and Tel Aviv. Liron was exposed cultural idiosyncrasies which in turn influenced the way in which she combines / uses materials and their subsequent adaptation to her needs. Liron’s latest project developed from a fascination with snakeskin and infatuation with catwalk pieces; motivating her to create her own interpretation via snakeskin inspired bangles. Liron’s previous catwalk projects include a large feathered neck piece and oversized dice jewellery. In the foundation year of her BA Liron was awarded third place in the UK in a competition run by the Metro newspaper for her creation of a jewellery body suit utilising recycled materials.

Lookbook 'bite' mask

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Accessories: Product Design & Development

A curious and diligent designer who takes inspiration from many sources including life experiences, anatomy, the fantastical and the unknown. The aim of lindseytait design is to use fashion and its influence as a channel to raise awareness of social issues and to make a difference. The brand is dedicated to having a social responsibility as well as producing superior quality crafted pieces that are one of a kind and make a statement. Striving for perfection, attention to detail is key as well as finding new and exciting ways to create, while incorporating traditional artisan techniques to produce beautifully finished products. Looking to modern technology to influence design and to push the boundaries of ‘fashion’, lindseytait design hopes to bring accessory design to new levels of what can be achieved. The graduate collection ‘skin deep’ is influenced by the issue of self-harm: the stigma associated with it and the restriction of the body to prevent harming. It was key that the pieces should be beautiful as well as provocative in order to raise awareness, yet still be products that can be worn with attraction rather than the ‘ugliness’ of self-harm. Using an intricate cherry-blossom pattern laser etched into the lining (which sits close against the skin) is significant as the cherry-blossom flower represents feminine strength and sexuality. This soft and beautiful leather etched lining is juxtaposed against the strong VegTan exterior that provides a shield-like mould around various parts of the body. Each piece is fully functional, despite being conceptual rather than commercial. Born in a small town in Northern Ireland, Lindsey showed a strong passion for art and craft from a young age, which soon flourished into a love for fashion design. While completing her Foundation Diploma, Lindsey’s keen attention to detail and interest in accessories became apparent, leading to her relocation to London to attend London College of Fashion. Lindsey intends to remain in London to continue growing as a designer and to also expand her knowledge of fashion design and construction into apparel – although her main focus still remains on creating innovative and provocative fashion accessories.

MEDICATEME_Photography:Max Barnett, Model:Lucy@Next //Handmade and Dyed PVC tube beadwork+amaya stitching

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

Olivia Howick is a Surface Textiles for Fashion student specializing in embroidery and embellishment, with a passion for transforming unexpected materials into luxurious fashion embellishment. Her graduate collection: ‘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.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, in particular the use of PVC, has allowed for highly creative and innovative textile development through embroidery processes, that reflect on traditional craftsmanship, whilst evoking a clinical and medicinal aesthetic. Transforming materials is becoming an increasingly important aspect of Olivia’s work. This collection saw PVC hose pipes cut, dyed and stitched to become PVC beadwork. Combining this with satin stitch work and screen printed fabric, Olivia likes to work with both traditional aspects to textile design as well more unconventional material. Integral to Olivia’s practice is her illustration and drawing. Specializing in highly detailed hand rendered work, her illustration style is graphic, yet rich in textile inspired texture and detail. Olivia was selected as a finalist for the Nina de Yorke fashion illustration prize, and has also been shortlisted to compete to illustrate for the Maria Luisa website. Olivia has been selected for the LCF Press Exhibition 2013 and will be exhibiting a sculptural textile piece which demonstrates the concepts surrounding her Final Collection, as well as showcasing new textile development.

SS14 BA SHOES: Style 3. L.A. Peppermint Swirl,  Photographer: Amy Parton. Model: Renae Mutch.

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development

PRESS RELEASE SO BAD, IT’S GOOD Camilla Elphick launches her debut shoe collection "So Bad, It’s Good" for Spring/Summer 2014. London shoe designer Camilla Elphick's debut shoe collection, "So Bad, It’s Good", is inspired by her time spent living in New York and by the paintings of the US artist Kent Christensen. Much of his art depicts iconic American images of candy, ice-creams and cookie towers – things that, as a Mormon who doesn't drink alcohol, coffee or tea, are his "treats", and things that are so good to eat and yet so bad for you. There are touches of Surrealism and Pop Art in his work, which works well together with Camilla’s fun and artistic approach to shoe design – a desire to create colourful collections for women who like a lot of glamour and just a little bit of kitsch. The highly wearable Donut shoe, a graceful classic pump with a low cleavage and a curvaceous upper, the L.A. Peppermint swirl, a fun and glamorous peep-toe pump, and the super-comfortable Oreo flat are all covered in gorgeous patterned satin designed and printed by Camilla especially for the collection. The Triple Scoop sandal takes centre stage in eye-catching ice-cream-coloured patents that look good enough to eat. And the Pez shoe is a stand-out 110mm peep-toe pump in candy-pink patent leather with a moulded bright yellow heel modelled on a Pez sweet dispenser with Bugs Bunny detail – perfect for turning heads! Camilla said: "I love the colour and the iconic images in Kent's work and appreciate the good and bad in all the staples of American life. I wanted to create fun and beautiful shoes which make a statement and make a simple outfit complete." With experience at companies such as Donna Karan and Burberry in New York, and Nicholas Kirkwood and Charlotte Olympia in London, Camilla – who graduates from the BA Cordwainers Footwear course at the London College of Fashion this summer – is confident that her first collection will be a sweet success. So, if you want a sugar fix this Summer, why not try “So Bad, It’s Good”...

1. Roll Lapel Camel Coat 2013

FdA Tailoring

Joshua Jeffrey Millard, the Farmers son from Dorset has brought his rural routes to the city of London, where he has developed the ability through learning Bespoke and Production Tailoring techniques to give body to his fantasies. Fantasies of which correlate around the beauty of the female form and fuse his rural-urban layers of inspiration together to create unique, quality garments. ‘My ambition has always been to resuscitate the tradition of British pride and the attitude towards ones own appearance, in turn rejuvenating the spectacle of class and enabling my clientele to differentiate themselves from the masses’ He realises the importance of understanding construction when designing, hence from a young age he taught himself and practiced the skill of pattern cutting, and after finishing his A-Levels made the move to the metropolis of the city in order to learn the fine art of tailoring, in both Bespoke and Production techniques. His relocation to London has made him susceptible to different cultures and given him an initial insight into the reality of modern life. This has resulted in a catalyst effect upon the maturity and complexity of his work, and with this effect occurring over an 18-month period he hopes to develop his technical ability even further on the BA Bespoke Tailoring degree he is to bridge onto this coming year.

Harris Tweed Collaboration-Industrual rEvolution-Photography by Lillian Harriman

FdA Tailoring

Tailoring creates a solid foundation for the work I produce. Playing with menswear and womenswear I appreciate an attire that is suitable for both a man and a woman; menswear with a subtle feminine touch and womenswear with an understated masculinity. My work tends to be based around a classic ethos, but still with a contemporary edge. I believe in garments that are timeless and less driven by the fashion trends. However, I do think a healthy balance between the two is essential otherwise fashion is never driven forward. A clean cut is also another design principal I live by. Sharp lines and a clear structure set a foundation for me and then I build upon this with my choice of fabrication; colour and texture. My rule of a clean cut is put next to and balanced with my love of finishings; this is in terms of hand sewing finishes and fastenings.
