Street Fashion

Stylesightings
Amlul

The real deal. Fashion on the streets around the world. From stylesightings, the use of bangles and accssorizing the arm, I find interesting. I have also seem this on many catwalks for the S/S 2010. the bangles are big and bold and are stacked. This reminds me of Coco Chanel because she also used many accessories at once. The use of victorian theme in the first pivture is also interesting. This picture aslo shows the combining of the contemporary ring with a historic style of dress (the collar and cuff).

The crucfix is often used in fashion. Here it appears on the the tshirt.

Textures

More texture!

Steel used objects

Trying out punches and sanding to get some texture on these things. By the way if anyone know what these are, I would really like to find out. I found them at a scap yard and have no clue want exactly they are. I was told at the scrap yard they come from the engine of a car. I'm just woundering about the sizes and what is the function. I hope to use them in a fashion show.

I'm also trying to find a way to colour the steel. Any suggestions?

Ready.Steady.Go Earrings

I found more the discs that I used to make the Ready.Steady.Go Earrings. This time I found smaller discs which can be worn every day.

DUT fashion show

I was at the DUT fashion show on the 2nd of October. I was interested to see how the students would interpret the seasons fashion. The nipped-waist, belled-skirt silhouette with simple forms were worked into the collections.

I have been watching many of the Spring/Summer 2010 collections from the fashion shows around the world. I did notice the fashion designers used things outside of the clothing to bring across their concepts. There were layers of necklaces and earrings by Dolce and Gabbana and bags and other accessories by many fashion designers. I found there was a lack in the use of accessories in the DUT fashion show. I feel that using other things other than the clothing can introduce the audience to your concept. Accessories are a tool to be used to tell an individual story so I think fashion designers should use them.

It might be that the lack of finances could be a factor, but with some creativity, I think it can be done.
