People that inspire me -
Christopher Kane
RANKIN
Vivienne Westwood
I think Christopher Kane's concepts and imagination are completey different to any other current designer. He gets inspiration from almost anything, i love his originality.
I love Rankin's mind's eye for composition and the extreme fashion he captures
He started Dazed & Confused with Jefferson Hack in 1991.
'He is known for his personal, experimental vision, resulting in work that exists outside the conventions of fashion photography.' wikepedia
“There’s no point in dressing it up, I love women and I love taking photos, it’s more like a fantastic hobby than a job.” rankin.co.uk
Vivienne Westwood makes Fashion look fun and inventive but at the same time still incorporates sustainability
'Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.'
'If you ask me what I think people should be getting next season. I'll tell you what I'd like them to buy—nothing. I'd like people to stop buying and buying and buying...
There's this idea that somehow you've got to keep changing things, and as often as possible. Maybe if people just decided not to buy anything for a while, they'd get a chance to think about what they wanted; what they really liked.'

Think if something you have become good at and how did you become good at it ------
I studied photography at A Level and really enjoyed it I learnt the skills of both traditional and digital photography. I focused on fashion as a subject and within that learnt the skills of styling, composition, editing images using Photoshop and analysis of work.
I worked hard in order to achieve high quality results I was dedicated and determined to become the best i could be, and when it came to the end of the two years I was extremely pleased with my final piece.
Think of something you feel good about
What evidence do you base this feeling -----
Since starting this course I have found i feel particularly good once I have completed an assignment, I feel a huge amount of satisfaction and being confident with the result is a great feeling, knowing that all the hard work has paid off. I have learnt so many different skills since starting this course from time management and meeting deadlines, to learning how to construct a garment and creating theme boards. All of which will truly help me with working in the industry.
Think of a learning experience that went wrong and why ------
When studying traditional photography we spent most of our time in the dark room, learning how to develop films using just your touch and after preparing and spending a long time arranging models, locations, and props, and actually taking the photographs I would then go to develop the films performing the normal methods of solutions.
After completing the process i found the result was a disaster, the film turned out blank after all the work I had put into the photographs this was very frustrating.
However when it came to successfully achieving good results I would be extremely satisfied.
I have experience many events not turning out the way i planned but I feel this can only make you stronger, you learn from your mistakes and grow from them.
The difference between Learning and Teaching -
Teaching and learning are two different processes
Teaching is conveying information.
Learning requires some kind of engagement of the student in the process of receiving the information.
The learning process is an interactive exchange. It requires an even exchange between those who are teaching and those who are learning.
Teach: To cause to know, to impart knowledge or to guide studies.Learn: To gain knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study, instruction, or experience
A teacher is consistently learning so as to improve their teaching
So teaching contains both learning and teaching in itself.

Model: Billie Hampshire
Focus: Androgyny
Model: Billie Hampshire
Photographer: Nancy Hampshire
Stylist: Nancy Hampshire
The trend for the jacket this season is primarily tailoring and the future trends show a lot of androgynous styles, so i decided to style a photo shoot using an old tuxedo from the 70's and an urban location to portray current and future trends. My inspiration came from Helmut Newton.

The Independent
She's desperately passionate – "Fair Trade? It's not good enough. It has to be organic Fair Trade
"I don't believe my T-shirts changed anything, though they probably helped get the word out there," she says.
In 1984 she was named Designer of the Year by the British Fashion Council, her clothes were stocked in 700 stores in 40 countries.
"I am sure," she says, breathing in the sweet, mouldy air of the Kew hothouse, "that plenty of people in the fashion industry wish I would just crawl away and die."
Katharine Hamnett, great English eccentric, is indefatigable. Long may she reign.

Foreword by Katharine Hamnett:
We have to feed ourselves, shelter ourselves and clothe ourselves.Clothing is the third or fourth largest industry in the world. It employs a sixth of the world’s population. Consumer research shows that there is an enormous unprecedented surge in consumer concern about who makes clothes, how they are treated and how the manufacturing process affects the environment. This concern has grown to such an extent that demand for fairly traded good will soon exceed supply in some areas.A recent consumer poll showed that 90 per cent of respondents do not want goods made with child labour, 85 per cent do not want goods with sweated labour and 50 per cent do not want goods that damage the environment. Retailing takes very seriously any research that shows consumer opinions above 90 per cent.Given that marketing has been defined as giving people what they want, a moral imperative to produce goods cleanly, treat workers well and pay above living wages has now become an economic imperative. Yet there is a widespread lack of understanding of these issues.Clothing is a very significant part of what we consume and people are realising ‘how we consume decides the future of the planet.’

'Beautiful sheer chiffon’s are cut by strong, contrasting velvet construction pipelines which take us on a graphic maze of Christopher Kane’s journey of female anatomy. More concentrated than ever in his FW 09 collection Kane continues to deliver each new collection as his best.'

' The most wonderful stripes of the season, on delicate yet structured fairy dresses.
The fact that he was inspired by his early marker-pen sketches is undoubtedly significant: the silhouettes on the runway definitely had a fine art quality to me.'

Traces Project
Our theme
----Duality----
Tagline = Duality expresses the two opposing sides of mankind’s memory. Good Vs Dark memories, ego Vs superego. It represents the negativity and the positivity we carry in our subconscious minds.
Myself and a member of my group sourced two images representing evil and good and using illustrator software merged the images as one and used it on our concept research board.

Traces Project
This unit is a collaborative project working in teams.
As a group we need to convey the nature of memory through shape and form illusionary ways to reveal concepts.
We have to incorporate originality and creativity to construct two outfits as a mini collection which must include the requirement of two jackets.
During the project we will be working alongside design and textiles students this will be a great insight to what industry work will be like and provide the opportunity for developing communication and organisational abilities and will help in gaining confidence and negotiation skills.
This assignment will provide me with the opportunity to develop my skills within a team environment and progress in key areas frequently used throughout the fashion industry.

Theme: Duality
Our group decided on the theme Duality following several meetings and discussions relating to memories.
As a group we came up with two main ideas Dark memories and the summer of love, we then decided to combine the two and create good Vs evil. By using shape and volume, and incorporating current trends such as asymmetric, overstated collars and shoulders we will create two outfits based on the theme Duality.
