Tim Walker

I've discovered a love for the photographer Tim Walker, i love how etherial his photos are. They have a kind of vintage, romantic edge to them. I would like to use this kind of romantic tinting within my own photography to get across the idea of something magical just like in Alice in Wonderland.

Photography Elective

Taking this image gave me my main source of inspiration.
Before taking this i was STUCK!!!!!!
My original idea was to take photos of street style in and around Leeds but Leeds has a poor idea of street style...bit too ordinary.... soooo....i decided to venture to the vintage shops..and it gave me just what i was looking for. I've always loved the stairs in Pop Boutique, they remind me of alice in wonderland, and this is my main inspiration. But, I still want to incorporate with this an element of the retro.

Alice in Wonderland inspiration

My own street style inspiration photos.

These may not be my final outcomes but they are kind of starting points for my ideas.

Artificial s/s 2013

Mood Board 

Colour Story

To me the trend represents artificial in the sense of robotics. These are my main inspiration for the trend. I've looked at two Swiss Photographers called Alex and Felix. I love how surreal they are and it's this kind of imagery that has inspired me in terms of a mood I want the trend to portray.

sooo....i have an idea

Little black dress? great idea! every womans wardrobe essential! But...finding the perfect LBD for one woman may not be the right LBD for another woman. A collection of LBD's for all the shapes and sizes. Hourglass, pear, apple, boyish, top heavy? whatever your shape there should be an LBD for all.

Summer Goings On!

For the summer project I've been given the wonderful job of looking at Women's Sports Fashion. You detect my sarcasm? Yes I admit I am not a fan of Sports fashion, however I feel after some research I have found my interest in the area... Sports Luxe. Why should sports wear be something only to be seen in the gym?

I want to use this type of sportswear as my inspiration, looking at loose slouchy silhouettes as well as experimenting with layering and tighter sillhouettes such as leggings. The fabrics I have been looking at have been jersey, sweat shirt, breathables. However I want to look at more luxurious fabrics such as leathers and silks to create a more expensive sporting look.

Inspiration

After been given the starting point of artificial I decided to go to the Damien Hirst exhibition and it was this which has given me my main inspiration. The way in which he takes the most natural things such as animals and the human body and colours them and changes their surroundings has inspired me within the artificial concept. Within the sports luxe trend I am going to take my inspiration down a slightly darker route, however using the tripped out colourings of the spring/summer 2012 trend.
