LFW

London Fashion Week is an event savored by fashionistas and designers around the world, and is renowned for its refined, chic and original designs by top-class designers. The Autumn/Winter 2013 event has unfortunately been and gone in a flash, but here are some of my favorite designs:

Clements Ribeiro

Fyodor Golan

Jean-Pierre Braganza

KTZ

Sister by Sibling

Orla Kiely

Sculptural Pieces

The last theme that we have to choose from is Sculptural Pieces, which is much more challenging in my opinion, as you would have to create 3D samples. I have found a few artists that have managed to do this successfully, and has inspired me to do so as well..

HOLLY LEVELL;

KATE JENKINS;

KATHERINE DIUGUID;

 BEATA KANIA;

MICHAEL BRENNAND-WOOD;

KAREN NICOL;

 

These artists have all used different techniques to make their artwork 3-Dimensional and original.

Textile Techniques

We have done quite a bit of work in class with different art and textile Techniques, which puts this theme slap bang in the middle of my comfort zone! Finding artists and designers for this theme was therefore much easier than the others, as I knew what I was looking for as inspiration...

ERANGA BANDARANAYALE;

KATE JENKINS;

LISA EARLEY;

STEPHANIE CRISTOFARO;

STELLA ADAMS-SCHOFIELD;

VERONICA GRASSI;

These Artists all use techniques that I have previously used in the classroom, such as layering, dissoluble fabric, printing, multimedia techniques, beading, embellishment, distressing and burning.
