Flea/ Garage market

All these images are a bit crappy cause i stumbled across this flea market by complete accident but it was AMAZING but i didnt have my camera (very typical at times like these) there were so many little bits and bobs i bought some really great vintage postcards and a few of these little stamps.Wish i had found it earlier to have a proper rumage its one of the nicest things about New York how you just wonder upon little gems like this something i will miss so much cannot believe i only have 10 days left...

Fabric Styling

Our Fabric Styling Brief is to pick a celebrity to style, from clothes to acessories to hair and make-up then choose a location for them to have the photo shoot in. i have chosen to do Kate Moss i wanted to do someone British who pulled off that English look, she is slightly ragged but stylish in her own way. i like the idea of doing a shoot which is slightly grungier and not very girlie or conventional

ROW after ROW after ROW

Snow day...

I couldnt believe my luck when i was walking to uni the other day to see that they had totally covered madison gardens in snow the other day for a photoshoot it looked incredible and was to go kicking my way through it!

Swimwear

This is my first piece for my swimwear class, we got caught out taking this class because we were already weeks in before we realised that all the other students were 6 semesters in but i love this class and have really enjoyed it, this is my costume (we have to have 1 costume and one bikini and a cover-up) i am adding straps around the neck with another gold hoop to fasten it together at the back.

This is the flower that i had to do for my embroidery class took absaloutely ages but i strangely enjoyed it rather theraputic i think this will be the one class that has taught me the most new skills which i am likely to encorporate when i get home.

Photoshop & Illustraion Class

In this class we have to do a women's wear project we have to make a print and manipulate it into fashion flats this is my inspiration board i have found all these images from runway shows and magazines and taken the background image last summer in Bali. We have to write a brief caption on who are our target market was and choose a colour theme that we will follow when we begin to make our prints. I have really enjoyed learning how to make these boards and understanding photo shop better, the next two boards are documenting how i made my print and the different colourways i have put it into and the final board is the fashion flats and a change of season.

St george's thrift shop

On my way to uni yeterday seeing as it is so cold here now and i was freezing and glove less so i took a little refuge and as i went past st george's church which has a little thrift shop attached to raise money for the homeless people in the area i popped in there and found this and thought it was really nice, and that the colours would be good for a colour palette one day so decided to hang onto it.

Bobo-West Village

We went to this really cute place last night it was the most english place i have been to since i got here in august, the atmosphere is like the inside of a pub on a friday night in central london was really homing the interiors were really intresting too, really unique picture frames and chairs wallpapers, it also had a litle terrace outside which ceeling was made up lantens was a really good idea is one had been individually printed too.

Kate Moss Inspiration Project

This project was for fabric styling we had to pick an inspiration and make a collection of outfits for various occasions and then photoshop them into a background which we felt reflected the character of our inspiration. I tried to do a board with her assecoris and more every day items, then a chic evening wear not smart but more casual and achievable, then i decided to show the contrast of her in the designers clothing and how although she brings style and elegance into the designers clothing her character and persona show through and bring her on style to every shoot. The last board had to be a contrasting image so i did beach wear.

Illustrations-a dog, some prawns, how to change the world..

I have been looking at loads of blogs since i begun this one and i have started collecting images into inspiration folders, i have redesign a new screen print and i really liked the idea of doing an illustration that was in a repeat, i love how theses illustrations all convey a message or give a new way of looking at something, simplifying.

Experiments Continued...

I really enjoyed experimenting with exposures and the postition of the body, i think the mask has worked really well, doing a nude shoot whne people know one an other so i liked the idea of concealing an identity.
