inspired, finally!

kenzo spring/summer 2011

 

i’m not usually a fan of many prints on garments but i really love kenzo’s spring/summer 2011 collection. i’m much more of a winter person and usually stick to neutral colours but i love the layering in this collection and the prints and colours work beautifully together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

sorry about the amount of photos – this was me narrowing it down to my ‘favourite few’. also the kenzo autumn/winter 2011/12 collection is fantastic!

 

 

here are Just a few inspiration pages i’ve made for my uni trend book project. photographs of the surma/mursi tribes are taken by hans silvester. the rest of the images are materials collected by me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i’m not sure about which one to pick out of the two above…

 

(please credit these images if used!)

here are just a couple of slides from our first group presentation. we were asked to come up with a trend book and concept. here is what we did…

the inspiration came from different cultures such as morocco and the souks we found whilst researching. we wanted to keep the colours warm and steer away from the conventional neutral colours we usually go for during winter.

i love the idea of using the vibrant, warm colours because i usually keep to a similar palette during my projects but this has allowed me to experiment a little more and i’ve really enjoyed doing something a little different as opposed to sticking to the usual colours. i think i’ll definately keep this in my individual trend book and fill it with colour!

Back! I have been a terrible blogger due to a lack of laptop since last April. However I have decided to turn over a new leaf and I will start this up once more.

Since last being online I have done a number of fun and exciting things, like I went on holiday and went parasailing, it was terrifying! Below is a picture of us floating in the air - terrified but fantastic. (Ignore the old geezer)

We have started back at uni and have a presentation to do next Wednesday. Its going pretty well. Think disco/tribal/huge knitwear/birds nest


I love love love this picture. Shot by Josh Olins, from Dazed and Confused last year. Beautiful.
Its part of our inspiration and I'm sure you can understand why.










The quality of this one isn't superb but you get the idea. I'll upload a better one once I've bought my new laptop.
