The Vulgar: Fashion Redesigned

The second of the three exhibitions i plan to go to. The vulgar fashion was at the barbican in London, this one being the one that has inspired me within the module of styling and photography and is something I’m connecting and using as my research for inspiration. I really liked the idea and view on fashion as ‘vulgar’ from some individuals perspectives, where as there are collections and designers i have really enjoyed.

I made notes of specific collections i liked best and researched into all the pieces and designers and i have selected a few to put into my sketchbook for refecneces and ideas. The two collections that i was drawn to was a collection i remember seeing launch, The Chanel shopping centre and the other was Alessandro Michele for Gucci collection. I liked the bold patterns used and the colours this linking and helping me with the pattens work shop that i did later on in the week.

The bold patterns is something that i didn’t think i would lean towards, so the workshop really helped me with seeing how to work with them correctly to make it look classy and professional on the camera.
