Do I recognise you?!

So I've been absolutely terrible and not blogged in aaaaages! I apologise.. Which is why I named this post 'do I recognise you?!' because I haven't seen blogger in SOOOO long.. Reasons for doing so.. The main reason, I've been moving house, and the wifi at my new house IS TERRIBLE.. But I'm now sitting on the train home from Nottingham after having an interview for fashion design

So where do I start? .. I've completed 2 projects since.. The book project, and the colour project.. Both ending in wonderful works of art which I am proud of :) both very different projects but it shows how broad the fashion industry can be..

For my book project I began looking at shrunken heads.. As I explained before, but basically where I went with this project was relating old fashion to new, and how we've influenced by tribal fashion in particular. I looked at te designer Issey Myacke, she has the most beautiful Spring 2010 collection! Which wasn't necessarily related to Aztec prints, but by looking at her work from this season you can see that she has clearly been influenced by tribal fashion. From her I began to pick individual outfits that photographers had captured, and I began to link them to the work of modern designers, eg comme des garçons is just one to name..
I presented this concept of linking one to the other in a well presented journal type book, under a time line of the outfits, and where I'd linked one to one, I photoshopped the tribal outfit into the same shape as the modern designer outfit so it was clear to see how they had been influenced.

Here are a few photo's I took of my book, sadly I don't by photo's of the photo shoot on my phone, but you can see how the book is put together.
I was very pleased with my final outcome, and how I had explained the ideas behind it in my sketch book.
