Today we all had our practise presentations on the garment we chose from the Renegade collection. The presenations were meant to last 4-5 minutes, mine however ended up dragging out for an entire 45 minutes (the feedback section lasted a good half an hour of that time)!

From the collection I had chosen to focus on the Teddy Boy outfit as the little saxophone broach around the collar of the shirt, caught my eye. I have always been one to appreciate the smaller, more detailed things in life and so I decided that was something i’d be really interested in researching and also drawing!

The feedback I received today has really helped me to focus my project in a direction i’m happy with. We talked about objects and the attachment you can form to them (I am a hoarder and so keep most things and thus am attached to quite a few objects already at the age of 20 years old). Furthermore we linked this idea of people possessing an emotional connection to objects to the branding essence of a business and then talked about theoretical stains and scars. Due to this session I have decided to look into this area of attachment in more depth and in particular, linking it the vintage subculture evident in Brighton.
