Jetset Hedonism

Mirage "fashion. Swimwear and Jetset Hedonism" to me the idea of an adventure as a beautiful vision.
this magazine has inspired me for my next project, the first page of text explained exactly what i want to elaborate on in my designs. rare discoveries, ideologies of life, reaching into past to generate a new future and looking for adventure through inspirational atmospheres.

natural beauty.

natural environments endlessly inspire me. forests, oceans, gardens and fields etc. I think they make editorials more interesting. came across this video today of Abbey Lee and Catherine Mcneil on the set of Greg Kadel's Vogue Australia shoot. just thought parts of it were a perfect example of what i'm trying to say. already thinking i'm going to use the idea of natural environments for my next collection. using imagery such as trees, grass, barks, birds, feathers, that kind of thing. by combining this kind of imagery i think it could create something quite beautiful.

I bought this issue two days ago and to be honest, this was actually the only editorial in it that inspired me, probably because of its purity and content of some great fashion designs. Funnily enough I got a free "BE STUPID" t-shirt with this issue. BE STUPID is the new slogan for DIESEL's ad Campaign, originated from when Renzo first went into other boutiques with his ripped/customized jeans and asking if this kind of denim would sell at the time. Obviously everyone said are you stupid because they clearly wouldn't have suited the trends at that time? Being Stupid has obviously worked and created a very unique and successful fashion brand. Anyway, I went to work today and to promote this campaign we have to learn this dance and perform it in public to remind people that DIESEL are still there and will always be different and out there. Its DIESEL's way of promoting the brand to the rest of the world. lets see if we win the best dance in the UK? quite embarrassing.

anatomy.


Finally handed in my assignment this morning which is currently being assessed. I decided on displaying my work as a portfolio as i was producing a digital print collection. I'll be hopefully printing my digital prints in the near future to make the real thing, and actually feel like my designs are going into production. I've pulled together a few examples of my designs and illustrations to share with you all. would love to hear your comments on these designs as soon i'll be assessing how they'll work in the real world.

These are my final digital print designs designed using my own drawings of human anatomy and editing through photoshop.

These were some extra print ideas for all over garment prints.

I decided to do digital illustrations to emphasise my prints. I asked Matthew to take some photos of me in our front room. I used photoshop to apply my print designs to show how they would work as a garment.

anatomy is stressful.


I'm beginning to stress a little now about my deadline for university! I've not been blogging much as my designs all need to finished by thursday! needed a quick break so thought i'd post a little teaser to what my collection is about. Its a combination of human anatomy and reptile textures. this illustration/photo was something i messed about with in photoshop for my development/sketchbook work. would love to hear your views and i'll be posting my full print collection very soon!!

grad collections by Nadia and Cami.

Now this is some serious fashion!
 And its so fascinating. you've probably heard of the blogs foxyman(Nadia) and di$count before. Well Nadia and Cami (both@Di$count) have got some serious fashion design skills which you've all probably had a taste of before, the garments themselves are outstanding. I see this style of clothing as sculptural, tonal and different and its the type of thing Ive always aspired to do. I hope to eventually get to this stage in my world of fashion and textiles. At the minute I'm producing prints for a basic garment which soon I will be sharing with you. Anyway, the styling and look of these collections are extraordinary, i almost want it to be a trend. I thought i'd share these amazing designs with you as i thought the work gone into these is immense. i can see the whole design process and how its come to this. enjoy.

Cami's Grad Collection.
