Fashion
I am really passionate about fashion so in this section I have compiled trending outfits I have made along with different shoe styles. Additionally, multiple times at work (Marks and Spencer) I have had the opportunity to reorganise sections and having this fashion mindset helped lots. As well as my interest in second hand shopping which I explore at the end of this section.
This is the bag display that me and a co worker re organised together. I really enjoyed the creativity and collaborative work that I got to do here. It was fun being able to use my colour knowledge from my art subjects alongside my fashion knowledge to make this section appealing to customers whilst promoting different products.
These photos are of costume design from the series Wednesday (right image) and Edward Scissorhand (left image). I was able to see these at The Design Museum in London in the Tim Burton Exhibition which was incredible. It was amazing to be able to see the amount of detail that went into the costumes and analyse them from a fashion perspective as well.
This mini collage shows some trending shoes that I went out to research and see the differences between as well as some outfits I have made with staple basics for a trendy wardrobe: Off the shoulder sweater, dark wash baggy jean, oversized graphic, fleece.
This next collage shows some other trending pieces that are slightly more out there. A chunky knit scarf but make it tortoise print! Headbands are massively coming in and long buttoned coats. As well as the always loved leather and pleather jackets. Finally, leopard print is something thats timeless but has resurfaced in the last few months.
Additionally, I have a real passion for second hand shopping. I love charity shops, Vinted and depop. I think that they are such great places to elevate your shopping and your style so I was incredibly happy when 'thrifting' became trendy. For example, I've found staple pieces like this yellow tweed jacket at the charity shop. Then on Vinted I was able to get some basic pieces to build up my wardrobe like these dark wash baggy jeans. It has also given me to opportunity to sell any clothes I no longer want at a more afforable rate for people!
