print work designers

i was looking at Walsh and Poltock and Holly Fulton print collection to be influence for my my design.



print work designers

RAF COSDFORD was also one of the topic that we was asked to look at. we visited the base itself to collect primary research in which we can use for our work.

after looking at Raf cosford for ispriation i started designing around key elements that stood out to me the most like the prapellas. i started designing around this woundering what if my suit didnt have the straight forward suit front but somethink more abstrated.
i started looking at an art deco artist work Robert Dalunery work which i ws trying to take inspriation off for my textile print and for an embelishment design. href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiseaJAqqqYbes9evErmv1wT_C6ZknFlmKAOSf4MVeBX50ofMmEwbJs3PZuz157Tp98kYA9fOW338hBVHt5kUE8a-JjDvoTULXKbvNEmkXN5oBv9-d_7u8oucKki9f-eYvE36R_6z5udBDk/s1600-h/020.JPG">





after looking at the mens ganster suit i decided that i wanted look more in to men suit but for a women which led me to look at andrology and Paul Smith collection which was influenced by women wearing masculine clothing. .

between the wars/ art deco




I have been asked to research the 1920 and 1930s, looking at major events that took place and the fashion trends in this period. I have been asked to design an evening garment for a women or a man (ball gown or a suit). I have also got to look at Art Deco architecture, pottery, posters and art work for social influence. I had full range on which direction I can take my garment in to. I have also got to produce a print in textile which will be influence by Raf Cosford and art deco, RAF cosford is an army base that you can visited to view old war planes.

After doing a little research I became aware that women lost the silhouettes and went for the young boy look. They were known as the flappers the rebel of their generation. They wanted to stand out and be heard. They wanted to be different.

following on from looking at the flappers and the fast that they like to have the manly silhouette i decided to start looking in to men suit more and found out that the ganster suit became big in america in this period.

yet another day trip!

yet another happy day trip with my father aren't i the lucky one yay me! well we went up brum to take my dads camera to jessops cuz me and my butter fingers drop it and broken it. but while we was up town i thought that ill take my dad to the art galleries i wanted to visit. ikon they had two exhibition on the first one was VICTOR ALIMPLEY: to trample down an arable land is five short videos that show the the human relationship and the powers on the different individuals. 'Comprising six videos, this exhibition includes the premiere of Alimpiev’s ambitious new work, To Trample Down An Arable Land (2009). It features
four central figures, young women holding aloft long trailing banners, heads slightly bowed, while they lead other performers up a long ramp. Gradually they move, like recurrent waves, pulled a few centimetres at a time in a deliberate forward motion. The artist likens this to a plough cultivating the land, each figure acting as a cog in a larger machine.' i really enjoyed watching his piece 'this is it' where there was a young women lieing on the floor and a man had his fist clench above her. it was like his clench fist had inter control on her body the fist clench more and she change position is was if he was control her. SEMYON FAIBISOVICH razgulyai: all of the picture from the exhibition are from mobile phone photographs repenting scene from everyday life. all the picture are focused on unglamourous people (everyday people) 'The brushstrokes in Faibisovich’s canvases betray their origins in low-resolution images. The mobile phone technology they embody' i really enjoyed visiting these two exhibition and found the work really interesting
