FdA Cordwainers Footwear Design

This SS/14 collection was inspired by the Guarani people of Paraguay and the hand weaved techniques used to this day, specially the Ñanduti weaving. Letizia is intensely moved and inspired by life and nature in all shapes and forms which lead her from a Biology degree to Footwear Design, and is also strongly influenced by her cultural heritage and all its complexities. Her work juxtaposes the delicate and unique elements of hand made crafts and unexpected usage of colour.

PRESS RELEASE SO BAD, IT’S GOOD Camilla Elphick launches her debut shoe collection "So Bad, It’s Good" for Spring/Summer 2014. London shoe designer Camilla Elphick's debut shoe collection, "So Bad, It’s Good", is inspired by her time spent living in New York and by the paintings of the US artist Kent Christensen. Much of his art depicts iconic American images of candy, ice-creams and cookie towers – things that, as a Mormon who doesn't drink alcohol, coffee or tea, are his "treats", and things that are so good to eat and yet so bad for you. There are touches of Surrealism and Pop Art in his work, which works well together with Camilla’s fun and artistic approach to shoe design – a desire to create colourful collections for women who like a lot of glamour and just a little bit of kitsch. The highly wearable Donut shoe, a graceful classic pump with a low cleavage and a curvaceous upper, the L.A. Peppermint swirl, a fun and glamorous peep-toe pump, and the super-comfortable Oreo flat are all covered in gorgeous patterned satin designed and printed by Camilla especially for the collection. The Triple Scoop sandal takes centre stage in eye-catching ice-cream-coloured patents that look good enough to eat. And the Pez shoe is a stand-out 110mm peep-toe pump in candy-pink patent leather with a moulded bright yellow heel modelled on a Pez sweet dispenser with Bugs Bunny detail – perfect for turning heads! Camilla said: "I love the colour and the iconic images in Kent's work and appreciate the good and bad in all the staples of American life. I wanted to create fun and beautiful shoes which make a statement and make a simple outfit complete." With experience at companies such as Donna Karan and Burberry in New York, and Nicholas Kirkwood and Charlotte Olympia in London, Camilla – who graduates from the BA Cordwainers Footwear course at the London College of Fashion this summer – is confident that her first collection will be a sweet success. So, if you want a sugar fix this Summer, why not try “So Bad, It’s Good”...

FdA Tailoring

My passion for tailoring started when I was working in the advertising industry back home in Brazil, and I felt very inspired to update/modernize the daily garments of the modern woman. The modern woman who loves herself above all, she does not miss nor has time for futility, she is the one that works, she believes that work magnifies her ambitions. She is independent sentimentally. She is the one that is courageous, a companion, confidant and a lover. She is one that can be both strong and sweet, messy and beautiful, the modern woman is not afraid of anything or anyone, looks life squarely in the face, speaks what is on her mind and what she feels. In addition to that, while still working as an account manager in an advertising agency, I decided to express my ideas and through that I have developed my own fashion collection of white shirts – Womenswear which has required discipline and initiative for self-learning through extensive research. In order to enhance my skills in this area, I decided to study Tailoring at London College of Fashion. I am currently doing my second year, and I feel I have made the right decision changing my life so drastically, however my background is well reflected in my work and has aided me in developing a collection. It is important, if not essential to know you costumer profile and play around that. Also Inspired by cinema, arts and photography, as a tailoring designer I have developed a wide range of technical skills including research, design process, fabric knowledge, pattern cutting, sewing and Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. In my last collection my idea was to represent the women from the Middle East through the eyes of three local Middle Eastern contemporary photographers. I believe the women in this project very much compliment my initial starting point of inspiration and I wanted to explore the juxtaposition of independent and dependent individual however retaining the sense of strength and femininity. Their power is related with the heart and this is the organ which is the strongest one. The heart is the carrier of the brains messages to her body and needs to have protection in her chest where anything and everything is held. The collection reflects, in fabrics the concept juxtaposition. This can be seen in the use of heavy and light cloth, shine and matte, the same as her sensibility, power and femininity

FdA Tailoring

Tailoring creates a solid foundation for the work I produce. Experimenting with menswear and womenswear I appreciate an attire that is suitable for both a man and a woman; menswear with a subtle feminine touch and womenswear with an understated masculinity. My work tends to be based around a classic ethos, but still with a contemporary edge. I believe in garments that are timeless and less driven by the fashion trends. However, I do think a healthy balance between the two is essential otherwise fashion is never driven forward and therefore does not evolve. A clean cut is also another design principal I live by. Sharp lines and a clear structure set a foundation for me and then I build upon this with my choice of construction and in turn fabrication; through colour and texture. My rule of a clean cut is also put next to and balanced with my love of finishings; this is in terms of sewing finishes and fastenings. Detail and neatness is a part of my personality but also the way I work. Attention to detail is one of the most important skills I like to display and emphasis. I believe it really expresses the quality, time and love that has gone into the creation of a design. Being on the FdA Tailoring course at The London College of Fashion we are taught bespoke tailoring methods the first year and production methods the second year. This opens your mind to the differences and similarities of both tailoring fields and really helps to identify which you prefer and have more of an interest towards. I personally love to practice and demonstrate methods from both spectrums; I apply production methods predominantly but enjoy offsetting that with an emphasis of hand finishing techniques used in bespoke methods. My branding style has developed significantly in my last project. Employing a masculine and feminine aesthetic is something I have always subconsciously executed, but now I have identified and amplified the importance of it within my work; applying it as one of my design rules. Communicating this not only through the garments I create but also the face of the brand. In terms of inspiration I draw this from everything I see around me. Observation is one of my personality traits, and as mentioned before I pay great attention to detail. I notice the obvious but strive to look for the subtleties while always communicating this in a simplistic and straightforward way.

FdA Tailoring

I grew up in a family divided between painters and academics where I learnt that there is always space for self expression. It is only a matter of understanding the most effective way to do it. That is the main reason I consider tailoring fundamental in my desing process, because it supplies a very clear means through which one can produce ideas. And it is a very fine one too. The combination between fashion design and tailoring is the key to my work's aesthetic: a point of view where there is a controlled evolution of modern silhouettes, with an equilibrate balance between shape experimentation and traditional crafting methods. A very rich and detailed design development lays at the base of my final outcomes. The creative process is for me a combination between the elaboration of a concept, a story to tell and a more instinctive experimentation through drawing, collage and photography. It is a constant tension among the visual and the intellectual that leads me through a continuous development of ideas. My strong background in history and literature, together with my passion for visual arts and music, are the engine behind my work, the source of my inspiration.

BA (Hons) Fashion Jewellery

Roxanne Farahmand is young and contemporary jewellery and accessory designer from London, who has graduated from London College of Fashion with a degree in BA (Hons) Fashion Jewellery. Roxanne’s AW 13/14 collection was inspired by the future of prosthetics, the way that they are perceived in society and their appropriation of the human form. Always having a great interest in the human body’s form and its functions that are inextricably and permanently linked, she was interested with the replacement of the body form and function by a prosthetic. These orthopedics and prosthetic enhancements replace the functions of the human body, mimicking it, simulating but transforming the human body’s form for a new aesthetic. Roxanne has created accessories and jewellery that reinvent both the body and prosthetics, with mouth pieces that have been designed from its anatomical functions, to body straps that have evolved from a traditional working orthopedic harnesses. Like a traditional Art Nouveau jeweller, Roxanne’s appropriation of the natural and organic human forms were abstracted and developed into man-made constructions to be worn on the body, similar to how prosthetics appropriate the human form. All her metal work has been 3D designed and 3D printed and all accessories were handmade in the finest leathers and precious metals.

BA (Hons) Make-up and Prosthetics for Performance

For my Final Major Project I based my design and story on the script 'Under, Over, Through' [2010 edition] by Jack Gleeson. Only realising a small fraction of the script I had rewritten two scenes and made the 3 characters involved. They were created to function in the performance context of a graphic novel [those mostly inspired by the artwork by Dave McKean]. I renamed the project 'A Chamber In The Earth' to emphasise the scene [setting in only one place] consisting of epic events however how little effect it will have in history, being a part of a fantastical however neglected world. FINAL MAJOR PROJECT- Big Thanks! Kitsune________Steve Cheriton Jonathan_______Phillip David Barr The Moth_______Amy Hickie Photographer____Alex Springer, A Star Studios Make-Up Assistants________Sophie Venes & Ruth Kelly ...and Jack Gleeson for letting me use his work as my own project. I will continue working on this project in the hopes to eventually finish a complete 2-Chapter graphic novel as te finished piece of work. I have always liked characters that have been strange and wondrous in all performance media. It is these characters and their stories that inspire my own work and have helped me find my own style within this course. Although I have made a lot of prosthetics I have also made wigs for each of my projects and always try new techniques and different materials each term. I have enjoyed not only the making and applying process, but the design, script-writing and story-boarding aspect accomplished in my final year. I hope you enjoy my work, there is always much to improve and it will drive me further in future projects and jobs.

BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles

Final Major collaborative project- Good night little one Good Night Little One is a comprehensive collaborative A/W13 collection created by two textiles students specialising in knitwear and embroidery. The collection’s theme is derived from childhood imagination studied through psychological, sociological and visual expressions. The research explores the naïve innocence of children’s minds and how children transform their thoughts into art. This research is a literal manifestation of such a theme and imagery. It will juxtapose and contrast children’s drawing and childlike modern art to create a four piece unisex collection that focuses on each of the team member’s signature style and love of colour and textures.
