Water and Illusion Photography

BA (Hons) Costume for Performance

I am motivated and dedicated, looking to explore sensory design and the relationship between technology and live performance. I have worked in film and television as an assistant designer and buyer. Over the last year I have worked closely with the designer Moritz Junge, assisting him on projects with Wayne McGregor's Random Dance, The Royal Opera House and The National Theatre. I am currently assisting Moritz as he designs for the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony. In July 2011 I designed costumes for ATMA Dance Company’s performance of Sivaloka performed at the British Museum. This year I have focused my design on creating an immersive contemporary dance piece. “Amorphous” is an immersive contemporary dance piece which seeks to engage its audience through a heightened sensory environment. It touches on the concept of synesthesia. The piece is loosely based on Katie Mitchell’s play “Waves” which seeks to deconstruct Virginia Woolf’s novels “Moments of Being” and “The Waves”. “Amorphous”focuses on the movement of a small phylum of bioluminescent echinoderms: forms of sea life such as sea cucumbers, and sea urchins which may use their own light to attract or deter prey. Settled at first, they have to respond to a change in their environment which disorientates and disturbs them. The physical experience of the piece is enhanced by the vibrations from the music’s bass line which forms the reference points for the dancers: the remainder of the score may be heard through headphones, intensifying the auditory experience. Electro luminescent wire built into the costumes responds directly to this bass line, whilst a computer application created specifically for Amorphous by Hellicar and Lewis controls the speed of the projected film through response to the score. This intensifies the visual experience and enhances the link between the auditory and the visual.

Kiki Tse: Large quilted hoodie

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear

Since graduating, Kiki have been working as a self-employed stylist and dressmaker. You can find her present work on www.kiki-tse.com, and Wordpress: http://kikitse.wordpress.com. This 2008 graduation collection is inspired by a summer vacation in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The art of Pre-Columbia period, stretching across 50000 years and encompass the traditions of many different cultures, including the Olmecs, Mayas and Aztecs. Elements are taken from old sculptures, the beautiful architectures of Chichen Itza and radiant vibrant jewelled colours from the Mayans crafted suede throws. These ancient ingredients are developed into a modern colourful fashion sportswear. Everyday wear is utilised into contemporary exaggerated size, similar to the two iconic 80's fashion label Body Map and Katherine Hamnett. The symmetrical silhouettes are cut into strong simplistic shape, so easy to wear, with hand-crafted belts clinched to the waist giving it added movement of fullness. Fuchsia, emerald and turquoise, these three beautiful bright jewelled colours are deliberately chosen and contrasted with black to style into a block colouring scheme. Greatly influenced by Jill Sander's Spring/Summer '07 & '08 collection. Initial influences are details taken from old figurine sculptures, using the fatness and round shape from belts and developing this into a more approvable accessories wear. Continuation of this idea is carried through to stripes finishing along the neckline and armholes. Most of the garments are made in 100% wool jersey from all different weights, and hems are hand finished to make this collection into an upper market level. The square dress is the single piece made in silk crepe to keep the soft movement of the shape. A hand-punched leather belt is added around the waist through the fabric, to form drapes around the body. This piece is taken from a particular stone figurine wearing a short type of poncho with board bands running across its body. Maintaining the craft of Mexican art, various sized squares are used and carefully hand-punched onto pony skin leather. The sequences are taken from a wall with criss-cross formation from the ruins in Chichen Itza. Quilting is also used on the hood to represent the life of Temple of Kukulkan (El Castillo).

Dusty Orange

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development

My name is Ozge Barut, I am soon going to be graduating from the Cordwainers BA (Hons) in Footwear: Product Design and Development at London College of Fashion. I am from Istanbul and based in London. This has allowed me to develop a perspective focusing on the adaptability of multi cultural aspects on contemporary design. This also gives me easy access to the footwear manufacturing industry and relevant suppliers in Turkey. I design to achieve authenticity in a multi-cultural but global village. I believe in expressing this in the very details of my design. The tools I use to convey my message are colours, textures and materials. In this project I tried to express the cross-cultural detail through an inspiration born from the accessories used in old ottoman 'hamams" (turkish baths). These accessories mainly included traditional clogs, textural materials and cloths. I transformed a local, traditional and cultural element, into a modern fashionable and contemporary product where it can be used as a tool to express ones individuality through authentic details.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear

•Statement A London College of Fashion Womenswear Design graduate, currently pursuing a successful career in Fashion Design. Specific interest in pattern cutting, sewing and tailored clothing. Highly motivated individual with an eye for detail and expertise in crochet, knitwear, print and surface embellishments as well as good skills in CAD programs such as Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. An energetic individual with professional team leadership skills looking for challenging, creative graduate design opportunity from July 2012 •Antidote As a future fashion designer, global issues are very important to me and this is reflected in my work. Fashion has always played an important role in war and is constantly used in propaganda and advertisements. In today’s society we are under a constant and intense media bombardment about what is “accepted” and capitalism has turned fashion into a tool for mass production and fast consumption. Slowing down the process, I want to explore a more human alternative and concentrate on the essence of fashion which, for me, is fabrics, craft, and details. This minimal Autumn/Winter collection explores mobility within comfortable tailored clothes. I was inspired by a range of German Second World War uniforms that inspired the design and where the female becomes in a constant touch with masculine shapes. I also was inspired by Space Age images which led me to experiment and develop my own futuristic feel to the mood and fabrics where I experimented with using special machinery such as Tanaka. www.hellysaz.com www.facebook.com/hellysaz •Education 2009- Present BA Fashion Design & Technology Womens Wear The London College of Fashion, London Projects • Final Major Collection • Final Major Proposal • Craft and Technology exploring personal identity • Fashion and Sustainability • Tailoring Team Work • Denim and Jersey • The White Shirt 2007-2008 Diploma in Fashion Folio Central Saint Martin College of Art and Design, London 2006-2007 Diploma in Foundation Art and Design Cumbria Institute of the Arts, Carlisle, UK 2004-2006 HND Graphic Design Cumbria Institute of the Arts, Carlisle, UK • Design Experience 2011 May - September Tiger of Sweden Stockholm Design Assistance www.tigerofsweden.se 2010 June - October Charles Anastase London PA Assistance 2010 February - April Rui Leornades London Assistance http://www.ruileonardes.com/ • Employment 2008-2009 August - September The Home of Alfred Dunhill London Fashion Consultant 2008 June -September Massimo Dutti Knightsbridge Head Cashier/Supervisor •Achievements Awarded Sponsorship with zip supplier Albert Zip http://www.albertzips.com.tr/ British Fashion Council short list graduate Paper Print Editorial shoot Portfolio review http://www.britishfashioncouncil.com/ Shortlisted Nina De York Fashion Illustration Award 2012 LCF 2012 Press Runway Show Candidate Cutler and Gross Student Finalist in Cutler and Gross Launching Project 0734 cutlerandgross.com Not Just A Label - BLACK SHEEP Becoming a Black Sheep in Not Just A Label, announced as one of the most promising and visionary designers of the moment •Skills Adobe Creative: Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign 2D to 3D realisation Indebt Researching & Referencing Drawing & Technical Drawings (hand rendered) Illustrations (Multi-Media) Illustrations (Photoshop) Collaging Technical drawings (CAD) Silk Screen Printing Digital Printing Knitting (Hand) Crotchet Weaving Embroidery Pattern Cutting (Flat & Stand Methods) Drafting patterns Toiling Tailoring Manufacture domestic and industry machinery Manufacture, specialising in Jersey Specialised Machinery: Tanaka Graphic Design Trend Predictions Styling Texture specialisation Hairdressing Makeup Image retouching Art Direction Language;

Patchwork bomber jacket and visor by Rose Irwin, swimsuit by Diana Auria and jewellery by Lili Colley

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology (Womenswear)

London based Womenswear designer, strong focus on craft enhanced by creative pattern-cutting. EDUCATION: London College of Fashion: BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear University for the Creative Arts, Farnham,Surrey. Foundation Dipolma: Fashion and Textiles St John the Baptist Sixth Form: 9 A/AS Levels A-C WORK EXPERIENCE: Topshop: Design Role/ Assisting Tailoring Designers Jonathan Saunders: Pattern Cutting / Production Intern Tatty Devine: Studio assistant Davina Hawthorne: Studio assistant Originating from a desire to achieve both pattern and texture from my designs, I adopted the unique craft of patchwork. I looked at the Amish Lancaster quilts for colour inspiration and fused this colour saturated pallette with fresh pastels and fluros from the British 80's 'street' look. With contextual research exploring 70's fashions and fads (an era that has earned itself the title of 'Fashion's Wasteland' and the 'Decade style forgot), I found much enjoyment in analysing the fashion 'faux-pas' and novelty of Glam Rock dress, and the contrast with the mass-produced world of catalogue clothing. The technique of patchwork for me contains heritage, creativity and individuality ,patching each section of fabric together separately. My collection was made predominately of silks - taffetas, crepe de chines, sand-washed and satins. The use of the different types of silk cut on different angles, complemented by pattern and colour, is what I have found most enjoyable in making my collection. I have recently designed a range of digitally printed silk scarves to accompany my collection ,along with a selection of perspex patchwork visors for the LCF Press show ,which I have found exciting to design. The end result has been bold, impactful and vibrant! The intention of the collection has been achieved in the production of a range which is wearable in the most practical sense- yet stand-out in its colours and craft.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Menswear

John Alexander Skelton ABSTRACT “ The Social problems that undoubtedly affect many working-class communities have come to define the ‘Chav’ caricature. Teenagers pushing strollers, yobs, and feckless adults: This is what Chavs are for many people.” (Jones, 2011 pg194) (British Lion) is a project based upon ulterior fashion motives, secrecy and identity. Delving in to the depths of a working class style that is prevalent and thriving in many areas of Britain. Seen in extreme cases, as a uniform of which there is little alternatives. I wish to use this uniform as a basis for development and interpretation, transferring it into a fashion context. I wish to embody the scally/chav style in a more refined and revered way for my AW/12 collection. jskelton44@gmail.com +447947119771

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology (Surface Textiles)

Copyright © Stephanie Ghoussain 2012 I am a surface textiles designer specialising in digital printed textiles, computer aided design and embroidery techniques. I use textiles, specifically print as a storytelling tool; colour, shape and texture punctuate my collections in playful combinations. Drawing is key to my design process, along with 3D experimentation, collage and redrawing from photographic manipulations. My aesthetic is free and fluid with sobering elements of geometry from traditional Middle Eastern textiles. My recent work is inspired by Edward Said's concept of "Orientalism" - the portrayal of stereotypical Middle Eastern identities in the western media and the representation of ethnic identities through an orientalism "lens". The prints for this collection portray a landscape of ethnic bodies, as lines they are displaced and dis-located. Facial and bodily shapes like Dali's figures, bleed out from their original contours to merge into each other and melt into the earth to create a distorted and exaggerated, foreign landscape - this has become the "middle eastern" ethnoscape, perceived historically and contemporaneously in art and literature. The aestheticisation of the concept has come from my process of research and exploration of the theme of distorted ethnic identities. The faces of ethnically diverse women in London have been photographed through concave ad convex lenses to create exaggerated proportions and distortions of their physical identities. These photos have been further distorted using web cams and digital software. I have drawn from these images in a style that is free and fluid, black and white to begin with and then re-coloured, again offering another distorted perspective of reality. The silhouettes for my collection consider what a world post-orientalism would be like. Oversized in proportion and layered with printed fabric the wearer is covered in story upon story, reinterpreted, and re-portrayed from various angles of the orientalism lens. The body’s own curves and proportions are obscured; individual history is replaced by a story of colonial history and images of ideological colonisation. Post apocalyptic feelings of isolation and anxiety or fear of the ethnic other come into play with the mood. As people who perceive the ethnic other through an orientalism lens that convolutes identity with stereotyped visions that have been democratised through orientalist art and mass media, we isolate ourselves through de-familiarity with the rest of the world and its diverse beauty.
