Christmas // Dream Wish List

With today being the first of December I had a conversation with my dad over a few final gifts to be sent down in time for Christmas especially since I wouldn't be spending Christmas with my family this year! After finding a few small things I thought what if money wasn't an option, what if I could literally have anything what would I choose?!

I thought I'd create my ten dream christmas items, some are still affordable and in my grasp and some not so much! We all have dreams anyway! 

// Katie Eary X Clique Leopard Tee //

I LOVE Katie Eary, one of my favourite things about LC:M every season is looking at what she's going to show and this Katie Eary X Clique top is not only bright and wonderful but also super affordable! (I can 90% positively say I'm going to treat myself to this)

// Sibling X Topman Jumper //

With Sibling revealing their collab with Topman I have to say I'm surprised I think they've made some interesting wearable winter pieces, especially this jumper. Also avaliable in black, for some reason I prefer this more which isn't like me at all. 

// McQ Cotton Shirt //

I think this shirt is absolutely beautiful, it'd be amazing to open on christmas and who wouldn't be happy with a McQ shirt?! Sadly as this is a dream list this is definitely just a wild piece of fantasy for me. 

//Nike Air Max 1 SP 'Liquid Gold'//

Gold and shoes I mean who doesn't love gold or shoes?! Sadly I am so bad for buying shoes and if I'm totally honest I don't think it's even fair for me to possibly justify buying another pair of shoes for a long while! 

//Saint Laurent Wool Trapper//

Obviously at £845 there's a reason this is a dream wish list, I'd kill to have it but I can't well unless I find a very rich fashion santa to bring me Saint Laurent. Sadly I don't think this is a thing so I'll just have to sit and admire from a far! But let's be honest if this was ever mine to possess I'd be amazingly happy!  

As Christmas is coming I hope everyones got everything sorted for family and friends, if any of mine are readingt his here's a guideline of what I want! (joking not joking) It's definitely nice to dream, but as a student I'll keep dreaming! Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year though and I can't wait to sit and watch Christmas films while it's cold outside.

Crim3s // Interview

Less of a fashion post and more of a culture one, I really wanted to upload some of my favourites from our uni magazine! One of if not my favourite part of the whole magazine is the interview I did with Crim3s.

 I just love how it all came together and especially to have Crim3s who's music I love. I just thought it would be cool to interview them especially for people who've never heard of them.

If you've not checked out Sadie and Issac's music before you should now it's worth it and their new EP is amazing,  //Crim3s - Bandcamp// so check out their bandcamp and have a listen!

This is just one of my favourite sections but anyway the rest of the magazine is //here// so check that out for more too! 

Uni//White Photoshoot

Because of everything going on I've not had time to try and upload any of my uni work, I just wanted to post these few images finally. We used most of the images in our magazines but I'm so happy with how they came out, they really capture everything I wanted to get. I think they're definitely some of my favourite images I've ever taken and really are of the whole magazine.

Uni Work//MONO

Admist all of this blogging about GFW we've finally managed to hand in this terms project which was to create a magazine in teams of six! 

You can find ours //here//

Here's the cover! 

I'm totally proud of it though theres so much content in there that we've all worked so hard on, beautiful photoshoots and I think it's come together really nicely as an end of year product. I think everyone on our course has done so well to actually make magazines and it's really taught me a lot about the industry and what I want to do so check it out! 

Model//Mayhem

Just a tiny post, just putting together a model mayhem, trying to gain more portfolio work and do a little bit more collabrative stuff because I really enjoyed Saturday's shoot!

Just uploading a few pictures from today, a little collaboration work with some friends.

Street Style

Instead of doing a street style project in Brighton I had to do mine in London, after heading out with my camera I just generally tried to collect images of people who's style really stood out to me. 

I've almost tried to group them to see what really appealed to me about their outfits.

Layering was the attraction here, I love the different layers to their outfit choices and also I love how their outfits all seem to be really oversized as well. More so a personal choice but I think that trying not so specifically trying to fit the silhouette can always be something fun to work with.

 Pattern was key with these three outfits, I thought they all had something which really helped them shine whether it be trousers, cardigans or a shirt. I think patterns something really interesting to play with, adding to an outfit without overcomplicating it.

Styling as a general here was the main aesthetic, how they'd all decided to put an outfit together. The effortless cool really seemed to be a major theme here, it all just working together really helping to show their own style. 

Promotion//Illustration

I thought as well as uploading my thoughts on fashion work I'd upload some work that I've done for uni as well. Here are some illustrations I drew and edited for a twelve page zine based on the 7P's of Promotion in reference to Kotler's theories. 

The task was basically to illustrate 7 P's: Packaging, Place, Promotion, Product, Price, Positioning and People. We had to put both the word and a definition to help us remember their releveance, we also had to use an illustrator from a list and take some inspiration from their work.

         

For my illustrator I chose Gary Fernadez, mainly because his work stood out most of all of the illustrators we had to chose from and he was more interesting than others. I also really wanted to try something new with regards to a drawing style but personally I think it worked really well and achieved what I wanted. I feel like my zine really reflects my personal style of working and that's what I wanted.
