Response to COP

An exercise was done in the studio in response to the context of practice. Paul’s response to this brief was writing a poem and written by the whole class, one or two lines in their own writing style onto a large piece of paper.   

concept development

This is the perfect imagery for my concept. The model has been photographed by Marino Sorrnti. I love the neutral background which allows focusing on the body contours. She is standing on a patch of sand which is her piece of land to survive in front of that gigantic sea. The body is in a elegant yet seductive posture. Second and third images compliment each other. Irina’s origami and structured design resembles with Coop Hammelb’s architectural work. As you can see the human form being transformed into a edgy look inspired from architecture.   

sketchbook development

Mood board for the fashion communication concept.
                     

Communicating my idea through fashion or photography.

This was the first idea for my fashion film which due to complications to achieve it I simplified this idea of film into the second one having the same concept.

This is the final and second story board for my film.

Development for my video to achieve the relevant looks and how to shoot them.

 

Film and Photogaphy

                                          

Gareth Pugh's fashion films particularly S/S 2011 was a great source of inspiration for me. It inspired to me make a film. I would prefer film on photography because it is a medium where movement involves. Its more engaging and expressive. I am totally obsessed with this image. The alignment of the two bodies, the lighting and the effortless shot is just indescribable for me. Photography is better to capture a moment even though it can still be strong but film was going to do justice with my concept.

Photograpy and Film in research to fashion communication

A great film put together by showing the designers collaboration with architects, especially the duo Iris van Herpen & Jan Benthem / Mels Crouwel (Benthem Crouwel Architekten). Herpen’s work is true representation of architectural fashion.

Architectural Fashion

The following examples show what exactly is architectural fashion.  I feel these designs give power and edge to the body rather than a silk evening dress.
