“He was a piece of machinery, so finely made and curiously put together” - Virginia Woolf, Orlando Nous Sommes Démodés is a unisex footwear brand that designs classic footwear with a nod to the creative individual. The AW13 collection references traditionally crafted footwear, while juxtaposing unexpected details. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities, it is unconfined by categorical boundaries, resulting in curious and distinctive product that although conceptual, trickles down to something highly wearable. Luxury leathers are combined with concrete, a material commonly considered “ugly”, resulting in the unification of unexpected materials. Each style in the collection is named after benefactors of Don Saltero’s coffee House, one of London’s early cabinets of curiosities.

This final major project I have used pop art to record the memory my families. Modern artists create some concepts with Chinese characteristic. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution has become a big source of their works’ inspirations. Because of many artists born during the Cultural Revolution, they have special emotions and memories in that historical period. They put their feelings of traditional China in modern art. Wang guangyi and Zhang Xiaoguang is a representative modern artists in China, they are the significant elements of my research. Both of them were combined pop art with the feelings and memories of Cultural Revolution or families. Depend on this backdrop of my concept. I plan to using pop art this kind of modern art to record the feelings and memories of my family in different historical periods. 2010-2013 - London college of fashion-(BA) Fashion design womenswear 2009-2010 - Fine Arts School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) - Foundation, Beijing, China 2007-2009 - Fine Arts School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) – High School, Beijing, China April, 2012-May, 2012- Peter Jensen- designer assistant December, 2011-January, 2012- Fashion Republic- Fashion Trend Agency, being a design editor, August, 2011- September, 2011 - WOSquared-desinger assistant

BA (Hons) Cordwainers Accessories: Product Design & Development

Nina takes inspiration from personal experience and the quest to learn more. “Life is about stories; cars are produced for mass consumption and yet the same car has a different meaning to each individual. Each journey, layer of paint, flat tyre tells a story. Some cars become treasures as they age, timeless statements of class others will have been left to weather, becoming beaten up derelicts. Accessories should also tell a story, be timeless statements of one’s personal style and accompany a person over the years to become precious memories and reminders of lessons learned.” A childhood spent between south London and the southern German countryside wherever she found herself there was always the other place with it’s happy memories. Having a mixed background of German, Cuban and Italian her outlook on design has always been full of contrasts. Growing up in a family who are all makers from mechanics to seamstresses has had a big impact on her. Absorbing all these traits influenced her “it always has to be functional” way of design. This functional and practical approach also informed her decision to combine academic study with a part-time job first as product development assistant and then design assistant at Anya Hindmarch. This was an opportunity for her to put newly acquired theory to the test and into practice in the real world. The SS14 graduate collection ‘enchanted reality’ was inspired by key catalysts in her life. For her 9 muses she created a range that will help them express their personalities yet are functional enough to make their day run smoother and therefore helping them, in this small way, to make their reality as they desire. The ‘enchanted’ is a reminder of her first love - ballet. It being so beautiful yet the dancers are restricted by their bound feet. Her training had taught her that the lightness does come with huge effort and restriction on the dancers side. This must never be guessed by the audience though. It is an enchanted world a bit like our memories when growing up in two places. Experiencing this throughout her life she realized that it was possible to make your reality enchanted too. nina.ehni@gmail.com http://my.lcffirstmove.co.uk/graduates/7526 www.showtime.arts.ac.uk/ninaehni www.ninaehni.com uk.linkedin.com/pub/nina-ehni/38/b61/2b7/ CREDITS - IMAGES LCF ANNUAL 2013 Creative Director Rob Phillips Photography, Hill & Aubrey Model Chen at Select Hair, Pace Chen LOOKBOOK Styling Coco Ehni Photography David Sessions Models Coco Ehni and Hero Ehni

2014 Autum/ Winter – Wrapping Memory in Japan. This collection seeks to explore the core value of Japanese culture: How they translate the traditional to modern society. In the developing stage of my project – 2014 Autumn/ Winter collection, I was initially inspired by a project done by Michel Aguilera in 2008 called Vetements de Hiroshima. He used series of photography to present the clothing reserved after the atomic bomb in the Second World War from the Peace Memorial Museum in Japan. Through these photos, he wanted to evoke people’s memory of nuclear fire. The following process of developing is looking into their traditional culture (wrapping culture: not just the idea of using clothe for carrying and transporting goods but the value can be seen in many aspects of wrapping, including the way of presentation, the meaning of politeness, and the believed social status.) and pop culture (street fashion affected by western society after the second world war). With an intention to show the transformation process in fashion terms, I focused on the change of the traditional Japanese fashion culture and observed how their traditional fashion have been transformed by the mix of Western pop culture into their own culture. Also, I researching and analyzing the central value of japanese designers, Designers in Japan use extraordinary methods to challenge the construction and traditional logic of clothes; they are the experts in using this concept to recreate and give a new definition to the existing designs. The design concepts of Japanese designers always re-contextualise, challenge the traditional rule, rethink the old ideas and refine the old forms. In my 2014 Autumn/Winter collection, I would like to use this idea to reinvent the old memory by the means of using traditional technique – ‘embroidery’ to recreate a new mood for the memory, wrap the horrific past to beautiful and represent in the contemporary fashion. Lastly, I would like to apply the wrapping culture to package the old/traditional form and the memory from the Second World War with the intention to reinvent new designs for the contemporary fashion industry. Covering the negative memory with a new layer and be represented in a beautiful and delicate way to reverse and bring a change to the memory of the destruction in the Second World War in Japan.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Menswear

education background: LCF Foundation LCF Menswear fashion design and technology working experience: 2010 summer China Daily 2012 martine rose My design has focused largely on the utilization of geometric shapes and lines and I have drawn inspirations from ‘Tangrams’. I have tried to employ asymmetric designs such that the cuttings look different from left to right, front to back. In addition, the collars, cuffs, trousers, trouser legs, coats and vests are all developed from the concept of asymmetric patterns. The shapes of triangle and polygon are used extensively. I have also drawn inspirations from the structure of bones. Bones have a variety of different shapes as well as a complex internal and external structure. Every bone has a different structure and function throughout different periods of time during one’s life. Consequently, skeletal architecture varies throughout one’s life. In addition, different combinations of different shapes of bones underlie the difference in body shapes of different organisms. I have adaptedand transformed their shapes, colour, and patterns to my design of modern menswear.Besides the ‘collage’ and matching of shapes, different materials are also used and matched together on a single piece of clothes, creating a richness of texture and layering. This is similar to ‘bones’ in that different tissues of different qualities make up the various components of the bone. Picasso’s work on Cubism also inspired me and helped me to develop my design further. His Cubist work does not follow the route of pure aestheticism. It is more rational and abstract, and develops around the decomposition and re-construction of objects. He has often used blocks of colours such as blue and grey which overlay each other. In reflection, I have explored a similar style of using multi-layer of different colour blocks in my design of menswear garments. In order to make the coat appear more three-dimensional, I have specially selected sports materials that are lighter, more ‘crisp’ and more ‘malleable’. It would also make it more comfortable to wear. The design of the collars of the shirts is special in that one side is wider than the other. However, the collar and the collar stand would match perfectly and the use of concealed buttons on the collar would add to the delicacy of the final visual image. Vest is the new addition to my design line. Every vest is visually a ‘collage’ of knitted fabrics. In contrast to the oversized coat, the vests would follow an extremely slim fit design using knitted fabric materials.

francescasmith@live.co.uk www.francescasmith.co.uk Francesca Smith's work explores the capabilities and juxtaposition of combining hard materials with soft textiles within a fashion jewellery context. She explores a variety of materials from woods to fabrics, to metals to plastics. Exploring the possibilities of applying alternative materials to a fashion jewellery context. Francesca Smith's BA graduate collection:"I have always been fascinated by modern social attitudes towards remembering the dead and how people deal with the loss of a loved one. By looking at the extravagant rituals and customs of the Victorian era and the funerary practices of its people, my intent was to produce a collection, which confronts people with the idea of positive remembrance. By exploring the designs of Victorian jewellery and cemetery art, I sort to recreate classic designs using modern technologies. This contrast reflects the concept of current attitudes towards death compared to that of the Victorians. Using 3D design software and the process of rapid prototyping, I created nylon components embodying elements of Victorian mourning design. I chose to combine these elements with human hair and fabric to create a material juxtaposition, which reflects my design style of using hard materials with soft textiles."
