TOP FAVORITES!


Roberto Cavalli-

-I love the delicate and feminine direction Cavalli went with this collection. Still using the eye catching patterns that he always does. There are pleasant surprises in all the pieces.










Gucci-
Fabulous Fabulous!
-there is a delicate yet edgy theme with the muted colors and bold shapes and pockets.
-i love the sleek and sexy jackets with tight pants and vest with the striped scarves and fitted belts. I am all about these looks right now.

Oh Karl!

Karl Largerfeld never puts a pedicured foot wrong and his presentation for Chanel at this week’s Couture shows proves that he is still one of the most innovative and creative minds on the planet. Largerfeld unveiled his collection amid an extraordinary 50-foot set made up of steel-grey tubes inspired by organ pipes. Lagerfeld worked the tubes theme into the collection, showing tubular shapes in several different manifestations.

WORN
The word, “fashion” is descended from the same roots as “fasten” and “facilitate” and once meant something along the lines of “creation by means of bundling and tying” but has (in the last 50 or so years) come to be synonymous with “trendy.” Styles now go in and out of fashion. Worn strives to get back to that earlier meaning, and discover what is of lasting value about clothing and style.

Worn plays a unique role by bringing a political, environmental, historical and cultural context to fashion. Pushing boundaries of collaboration and authorship with fashion magazine tropes like the photo story, Worn expands traditional relationships between models, designers, writers, photographers and illustrators. By exploring where art and fashion overlap, connecting with Fashion scholars and artists, and paying attention to how what is worn gets made, interpreted, transformed, disseminated and copied, Worn opens new avenues in art theory.

Mapping my project~~

I will be looking into the "fashion world" which includes:

designers in history and now
fashion illustration
pattern and fabric,
apparel construction,
sewing and tailoring,
aesthetic of "style" and "trends",
color coordination and accessorizing,

and final products and advertising/design such as:
runway shows
magazines
photoraphy
stores
seasons of clothing


Problem:

Absorbing all the knowledge that is possible before the end of semester and to gain knowledge of the surrounding community impact of fashion. I want to gain more knowledge of sewing/tailoring and the production process of apparel manufacturing.
In the end I will incorporate what I have learned into a fine art piece showing sketch/process/and integrate final sewing/fabric techniques that I have learned only by observing.

Perceptual/Emotional/Cultural:
Intellectual/Environmental/Expressive

see below for more research...
I am researching sewing techniques and just simply starting to really examine garments.


I will be taking a lot of inspiration from....

I am going to be posting a new episode for each new post....hopefully

There are so many different cultures that have different representations of "fashion". I take influence from all of them...

There is a lot of talk lately about "Eco-fashion" Bono has even made his own Organic fashion line called: Edun
The hope for most is that from Eco friendly high fashion will eventually trickle down into the department stores and become affordable for everyone to afford, but right now its way to expensive to become a trend.
Here is a great site with a ton of other links to conscientious companies: Green loop

Self expression through fashion is prevalent everywhere, what you throw on in the morning says somthing about your mood, what your thinking and how you feel about the places you are going....it is beautiful and horrible but all in all its all expression.

Topic:

Looking, looking, looking....

I have been in search of apparel manufacturing companies or just little small shops around that are actually constructing clothing and sewing. But, it is difficult, considering that most of this happens overseas, or in bigger bigger cities, such as New York or LA.
Much of what I have been finding is sportswear, leather, or "farm clothing" companies!
I have also been looking into taking sewing/fashion design classes outside of MCAD. This might be a useful way to to get more information about what is around town too. Im sure the school would have a lot of good information!
