Homeless

This term my whole research will be looking at the homeless and poor... Because they dress for comfort and nothing else... Alot of baggy oversized clothing, layering and hoods for protection, torn well-used and loose.. soft dull colours etc. etc....

We had an assigment during the Christmas break which totally cut my holidays short and forced me to do some drawings for my research...

A homeless girl.


Doing this project has forced me to look at such painful photos and I have walked around the streets noticing how many homeless people there are in the heart of London itself. I wish I had the courage to walk up to them and ask them what is their story... Sometimes I feel I'm in no position to give out money because technically they're my parents' money... Thus I am another selfish passerby like everyone else that cast unhelpful sympathy glances for 2 seconds and walk away because we always have somewhere to rush to and something to do.

OMG...

Things have been so rough the past few weeks that i almost went mad not getting enough sleep... Thankfully term 1 has just finished... and I can start blogging again..

Here are just some images of my portfolio work from last year, that I brought for my interview to get onto my current BA course.

The project was called 'opposites and contrasts'... so basically I had a vision of beautiful things.. like innocence, against anorexia and self inflicted pain, natural against man-made, traditional against modern, stuff like that. But the one i really liked was the innocence and ballerina against anorexia and blood and anger. I thought that was my strongest theme and really helped boost my project.

This is some fabric manipulation work we had to do in Textile class... It was kind of scary but fitted perfectly for my project. It was supposed to depict blood and intestines just dripping out from a perfectly beautiful immaculate skin.

More design work... I can't imagine how much effort i put into these sheets last year. I practically slaved over them!

Final collection line-up... The dress I made for the fashion show is the third one from the right. Easy and simple haha.
