BA (Hons) Fashion: Styling & Photography (Top Up)
Olivia Sarah Ann Weltz Telephone: 07446 559 350 Email: liviweltz@hotmail.co.uk I am a very inquisitive, experimental and driven person. I have specialised in Fashion Styling for the duration of my studies but I have always strived to push and manipulate the boundaries between Fashion, Art and Performance. My work takes strong inspiration from Art History, Folklore, Literature, Film, Theatre and Music and I always try to employ these sources into my Fashion Imagery. I have a keen interest in Costume and Prop Design and adhere to create my own pieces to style with along with Designer Collections. I also frequently collaborate with theatrical make-up and prosthetic artists to recreate the other-worldly characters I am so fascinated by. Working mainly with character styling, my work will always follow a strong sense of narrative and storytelling. This has led me to experiment in Fashion Film and Art Direction. I am currently styling, directing and producing a series of short conceptual fashion films using a combination of physical theatre and puppetry. I believe that layering and combining media gives opportunity for a richer and more artistic approach to conventional fashion. I am very eager and willing to work with other like minded creativeâs, whether that involves styling for fashion editorial or film, costume and prop making or Directing. I hope that my dedication and enthusiasm to learn a variety of skills, in various media and in a range of fields, will encourage collaboration. Please feel free to contact me with your project ideas.
