BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

Specialising in fashion knitwear: My graduate collection is about strength, overcoming obstacles and celebrating individuality. Inspired by my own disability, with influences from Beethoven, the romantic period and 18th century menswear, the result is a beautiful juxtaposed knitwear collection combining rebellion, freedom, truth and independence.“deafness isn’t the opposite of hearing, it’s a silence full of sound” Romantic and elegant knit designs on a masculine silhouette give a twist of the unexpected. Soft, shimmery and delicate yarns combined with heavier textured yarns worked in different formats allow the knitwear to take on different forms of expression. Colour is a huge part of my research and design process, creating different moods and producing various palettes with regards to research and trends.

Sade English Womenswear Designer Limited edition pieces for designer Sade English. Two pieces from are soon to be released Unisex Fall 2012-13 Collection. The limited edition pieces are inspired by and consist of elements taken out from the traditional Islamic architecture and Samurai armour. The shapes, outlined in each garment, are similar to the shapes that could be seen in mosques. That symbolizes opulence, boldness and structure, which is the concept of Miko Spinelli’s designs, mixed with the Sade English individual design techniques. Her combination of architectlural outlines, new and perfectly finish eye for detail, futuristic elements and strong statement, English touches of achieving both female and male dress, with a overall gothic element. Sade English’s unique outlook on womenswear makes it possible to see how she gains inspiration from four vital factors to her limited pieces and what would keep the industry and public excited for her future collections. Architectural futuristic outlook on design and garment constructivism, in a combination with historic art and dark gothic elements within her pieces, end up creating her signature style. Sade English is to be a sensation within the fashion industry because of her phenomenal mixture of past and future elements. Japanese armour alongside the surrealistic, reminiscing the trompe-loeil technique elements gives the pieces the unexpected alien and futuristic look. The fabrics used are nylon, polyester and pvc, which complements the qualities in each fabric. The detailed textured polyester creates a unique and at the same time decorative technique element to the pieces. Her designs are exuded with precision and have a perfectionism polish. These two pieces were selected and showcased at London college of Fashion Graduate Press Exhibition. The limited pieces are two and are part of her soon to be released Fall 2012/2013 unisex collection.

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development

Jubin Yoo BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design and Development The concept behind my collection, ‘Passage of time’ is ageing – a process that is shared by humans, nature, every object living or non-living. The beauty of ageing is fascinating. The physical outcome of ageing is unpredictable, which creates individuality. Not only do I see footwear as a temporary tool for protecting feet and a fashionable item but I also define shoes as embodying an individual’s life experience. I design classic men’s footwear with a comprehensive understanding of construction with a twist in design. Particularly respecting craftsmanship and focusing on the quality of the products, all the materials and designs are carefully picked and created for prospective wearers. Rather than using vibrant colours to get attention, I insist on using toned down colour leathers to emphasize the design and quality. My collection is made with natural veg-tanned leather with minimum dye for eco-friendly production. jubinyoo@gmail.com

Traces. Photography by Alex Robertson.

BA (Hons) Costume for Performance

A passionate and innovative designer and maker who enjoys creating costumes that fully represent the character. My influences and research derive from a range of sources, from the historical, the movement and textures of the body, to fine art. I enjoy incorporating these influences to producing a contemporary design appropriate to the modern audience. Collaborations with choreographers and film-makers have lent new aspects to my work. My abilities include pattern cutting, draping, and millinery, combined with a strong eye for design and the overall visual outcome. My diverse experiences working alongside costume and set designers for theatre and film, such as the Royal Opera House and the Olympics, have made me responsible and versatile. This has included supervision, assisting and standby work. My solid grasp of French and Spanish has also proved useful. TRACES My final year project for BA Costume for Performance at LCF. The film narrates a moment in the lives of two individuals from the same family, over a century apart. The characters' stories and personalities were derived from found objects- a map from the late 17th century and a pair of portraits from 1817. Primarily, design inspiration came from a combination of the Ballet Russes, period wear and how the body expresses emotion through various movements.

The Weekend & The Tote

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Accessories: Product Design & Development

The concept focused on the Praesepe star cluster which is one of the closest star clusters to earth and only locates 161 stars. Each product made for the A/W 2013 collection displays a trail line of stars picked from the Praesepe star cluster; each trail selected highlighted a unique path. These were subtly portrayed via the stitching detail exhibited throughout the front body of each item in the range. The range was also designed to communicate a high level of functionality. The 2 main bags of the collection (The Weekend and The Tote) combine 3 products into 1. This idea was influenced by the space shuttles which are sent into our solar system and the way in which they start off as 1 product and are eventually separated into 3. The Weekend bag locates a removable A3 Laptop case and a fold up canvas shopper which can also be used as a clutch. The Tote contains a removable A4 ipad case and card holder. The Brand name ‘Qing’ was inspired by the planet Jupiter, (The King of all planets) The Romans applied this name to the planet as it is the largest planet in our solar system. As the brand would like to be seen as asexual, the name has combined both Female and Masculine nouns- King and Queen to create the trade name Qing. Qing sees past defining or categorizing individuals in order to create a divided society. Qing offers a lifestyle which has no segregation, divisions or outcasts. Qing is sexless and surpasses the classification of male or female. We are one. Cherelle is a Confident and intriguing designer. Always creating and producing captivating ideas. Cherelle executes her ideas to their very best potential. cherelle_b@hotmail.co.uk www.iamqing.com

Shoe Box & Prototypes

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development

“Good shoes will take you to good places” “Ahn”, a contemporary luxury brand, was developed during So-yeon (Sarah)’s final year, in hope that there is a brand in the luxury market that successfully balanced fashion and comfort. Sarah is a firm believer in how a woman’s confidence can affect her performance. A woman in good shoes will not only better her posture but also better her attitude and mindset essentially taking her to “good places”. Sarah strived to portray this belief by creating designs for women to feel comfortable and confident in, thus fulfilling her goals whether it be in a social or a working environment. The AW 12/13 collection was inspired by “Alter Ego”. Everyone has a “darker” side but we are all the same underneath the skin. The designs were heavily dependent on the contrast in colour, material and shapes whilst maintaining clean, classic yet contemporary eccentric aesthetic with the exclusive use of high quality materials.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology (Menswear)

I have subtle but sophisticated taste and a high level of various technical skills. Every summer in High School I attended summer courses in Parsons School of Design where I had lessons in sketching and illustration and I developed a good sense of the human figure. I have also taken courses at the Fashion Institute of Technology. During my 2 years in Central Saint Martins I learned the importance of concept and research, bringing my work to a new level of understanding and awareness. In London College of Fashion I learned to graphically consider and lay out my design work, allowing those who view it to clearly understand my design process and aesthetics. I was also taught how to creatively develop block patterns and the appropriate approach to construct and finish various types of garments.

LCF MA_12 Exhibition on Vimeo

BA (Hons) Fashion Journalism

Whilst studying for my degree at The London College of Fashion I've discovered filmmaking, broadcast and working with some incredibly inspiring teams. Being at the heart of London has allowed me to pursue a wealth of extracurricular placements and projects. I've working with Dazed and Confused magazine for two years, freelanced for TimeOut and created and maintained social media platforms for The British Animation Awards and Picasso Pictures and have interned with GUCCI, The Evening Standard, The Times and showSTUDIO. I have also worked extensively with LCF to create film profiles of students and events throughout my last year. Currently, after winning an award with Procter and Gamble in my second year, I am Creative Director of a new worldwide Dermatology initiative to help cure life threatening skin diseases in the developing world to launch this October. I'm also in the midst of creating an ambitious new online platform. Showcasing the next generation of rising creative stars through the medium of film, it will exhibit intrepid young designers, artists, filmmakers and more. This will launch in the winter. I do hope you like my work and if you would like to find out more or contact me, I look forward to hearing from you.

Shoulder Detail: Texture Worked Into Print

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development

Bio: An aspiring fashion writer and brand consultant, I enjoy developing creative design concepts for both fashion product and media platforms. Alongside my studies at LCF I have completed several internships within the fashion marketing and media industries, including placements with British Vogue, Alexander McQueen, Diane Von Furstenberg and The British Fashion Council. I am also beginning to build a freelance portfolio and have recently had articles published by Vogue Italia, British Vogue, Handbag.Com, Now Magazine and Access-Fashion.Com. Strongest Skills: Fashion News Reporting, Market Assessment, Competitor Analysis, Brand Image Building, Digital Design and Illustration, Creative Concept Development and Communication. About My Final Major Project: For my final major project I developed a mid-market womenswear brand for the ‘mature creative’, a sophisticated shopper who cares about quality design but likes to have fun with intelligent styling. The ‘street style’ of fashion insiders and plays on design terminology were the leading forces for both my product and brand development. ‘Egg yolk’ drips from the yoke of a classic white shirt, while pea print lines the pockets of a ‘pea coat’ – a spring Mac full of subtle features that nod to the construction of its namesake. Her staple grey marl is replaced by Salt and Pepper print, an aesthetic that is quirky in concept but subtle in execution and proportion.

BA (Hons) Costume for Performance

Motivated and responsible, looking to expand costume making and design skills and hands on experience. I have taken on several work experiences during my time at the university, including at the Royal Opera House, the Young Vic, the London 2012 Olympics as well as smaller productions and student productions. I thoroughly enjoy costume construction and am keen on learning more! From a multicultural background, having lived in several countries, I have had the benefit of getting to know people from a myriad of different backgrounds and I treasure every opportunity I have to meet new people and to travel. Cultural links and barriers is something that has always interested me, something I have taken forward to use as the inspiration for my third year final major project. Final major project: "Progression" - short contemporary dance film Especially with all the current media hype surrounding immigration and whether it’s good or bad, I feel that sometimes people take it for granted and see people more like inanimate objects that are trying to invade their space rather than people who feel and think. That these people are faced with such difficulties and barriers, like preconceived notions, and they are working hard to overcome this. If you could imagine, being placed in a country where the native language is not your own, or the culture is wholly different from where you used to live. Having to spend everyday trying to get used to a new lifestyle, a new town, trying to communicate effectively without being discriminated against, and most of all, be accepted by the people around you – who sometimes seem, just because you are who you are, to be against you. Even if you may look British in facial appearance, oftentimes it is still telling that you are foreign by the way you dress, or how you walk, or how you hold yourself, or how you act towards others. It is unfortunate that in such a diverse city as London some people do still tend to discriminate and this makes it very difficult for a foreigner to feel at home in such an environment. Using the dancer’s own story of her move from Jordan to London, costumes were made to highlight emotions felt when moving to another place. First, the “barrier” stage – cultural, language barriers and other difficulties; and the “freedom” stage – overcoming these barriers and becoming more independent – realising how liberal London is compared to her conservative hometown. This was made into a short contemporary dance film. The final stage, "integration"– falling into a rhythm, a cog in the machine, just wanting to get on with everyday life like a local – was not included in the film. Working on dance, I had to consider the best interests of the performer - how I had to make everything comfortable for the performer so the performer only had to worry about the dance, maximum movement and ways to enhance the performance through costume. It also gave me the opportunity to experiment with shapes, light and movement, something I tried to bring out in the costumes - costumes that move with the dancer, emphasising the choreography and adding to the performance.
