Bianca Saunders
Autumn-Winter 2018 collection, titled 'Unravelling'.
"Bianca Saunders’s AW19 collection, entitled “Unravelling”, explores the feminine side of the black male identity in the expanse of their most intimate setting: the bedroom. Saunders chose this location in order to emphasise her subjects’ wholesome state in a place where they feel most open and able to self-express themselves through different garments, patterns and styles. Saunders emphasised a neutral colour palette of black, white and grey, intertwining elements of creasing and creating structural outlines with wider shirt sleeves and narrowed silhouettes. Blurring the gender boundaries, the designer was oscillating between feminine outfits – composed out of cuffed white joggers and a matching top with oversized shoulders – and masculine aspects – where the model was shirtless, wearing only a wool overcoat with wide-leg trousers."
Text taken from the upcoming.co.uk
"Each of the collection uses familiar fabrics, usually found in modern wardrobe - from nylon and leather to cotton shirting, jersey and denim. Saunders masterfully applies garment manipulation including creasing and shirring to reflect wearer's identity struggles and being comfortable in your own clothes. The state of partial undress, seen as a styling choice, explores male sex appeal and subtly introduces feminine aspects to the menswear offering."
Greg Sand
“Remnants” series by Greg Sand Remnants is a series about recollection and remembrance. Each ‘remnant’ in the series is composed of three found photos–each from a different point in the subject’s life–that have been cut into strips and woven together to form a portrait of a person who has passed away."

My random word: BARBIE
Ive always been fascinated by Barbie as a whole, I like the visual change from when it first was created in 1959 to the current day.
The aspect that I like the most is the idea behind Barbie, that children can use their imagination to make barbie whatever they want her to be.

Tim Walker Exhibition V&A - WONDERFUL THINGS
Photographed By Tim Walker
Styling: Jack Appleyard
Knitting: Josephine Cowell
London 2018
"As the fashion industry can be very wasteful, I liked the idea of everything being recycled, homemade and hand knitted for this shoot."
I am inspired by these series of photographs from the exhibition mainly because of the knitwear, it really reminds me of the Your Data one day project where we had to connect all of our possessions with wool, its a really similar visual concept.
- Photographs inspired by the vibrancy of Indian storytelling
- Some series in the exhibition were inspired by existing pieces in the V&A, this being one of them.
- Walker was invited to pick ten objects from the V&A’s collections and make a series of images inspired by each one. Wonderful Things, therefore, features over 150 new photographs.
- Inspired by the colours and materials used, vibrant and bold.

Dior Exhibition - V&A
The use of lace reminded me of the Christian Dior exhibition, in one of the exhibition rooms, the interior of the space was designed with paper cut outs on the ceiling.
The aesthetic of this inspired me.

Chiharu Shiota: Me Somewhere Else
-
Shiota creates a vast net of yarn, which is suspended from the gallery ceiling and connected to the floor by a cast of the artist's feet. The blood red of the yarn is laden with symbolism, from the neural pathways in the human brain to the connections that bind us together.

Howard Tangye
A question from an interview on disegnodaily.com
"What’s the relationship between fashion design and illustration?
One of the reasons I love to draw John Galliano’s work is that when I see it on the catwalk I see it as drawings. Illustration for a designer is the way of communicating an initial idea, and then final illustrations for publication or presentation are about seeing the pieces in the best possible way."
I like the idea of Tangye explaining how illustration is about communicating in your own style.

Four Guys Walking, 2017
- very minimalistic
- captures movement
"I work really hard to make the image be immediate and very gestural and capture not just the clothes but essentially the mood of a person – and how people walk and carry themselves." - Richard Haines, holeandcorner.com
