YOHJI YAMAMOTO

YOHJI YAMAMOTO AT THE V&A

'From 12 March - 10 July 2011, the V&A will present a retrospective of the work of visionary Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. Conceived as a site-specific installation with its core in Gallery 38 and small interventions throughout the V&A, Yamamoto’s menswear collections will be included in the display of his work for the first time. Each space will take its own meaning within the narrative of the exhibition which explores Yohji Yamamoto’s design world.

Follow exhibition curator, Ligaya Salazar, as she documents the evolution of the exhibition and offers an insight into the research, design and installation process.'

End of year show!

The second years and foundation had a meeting today just to discuss what we need to be thinking about between now and the next meeting.

Student Reps from all years - we've got a meeting on the 28th March at 9.00 - Fashion Lab

This year there will be 8 groups, they are:

Rail Management and Show Order: We're going to need 1 person per rail and 10 rails (These students won't be helping with the FMP production) We're going to need a lot more copies of the show order, and it's your responsibility to make sure everyone understands it. The 10 people in charge of rails will know each show inside out so they can help dressers.

Model Team: Everyone will be helping to try and find models, however only 2 people will be in charge of collating all the model information together (they won't be helping with FMP production) We need a MINIMUM of 15 male models, and 40 female.

Photography: Speak to Carl, maybe a photography student would like to use this at their FMP? We also need 4 fashion students (these students will be still be helping with FMP production)

Catalogue: Two HND Graphic students and 3 Fashion students (Fashion students won't be helping with FMP production)

Raffle/Fiver fund: 2 students in charge. Those students who don't put any money into the fiver fund will NOT be getting tickets for the end of year show and will definitely not be selected for the VIP show.

Hair and Make up: Teachers try and contact professional make up brands - sponsorship? James Watt hair and make up department. 8 Fashion students; fashion students you need to do test shots and collect imagery of how you might want it to look. Suggestion that hair and makeup people have ameeting at James Watt- Emily to discuss this with Head of School - Louise on Friday.

Tshirts: 2 students - designing the print that will go onto our tshirts - you'll also be helping with FMP production.- But will need two days to print Tshirts to be handed in before half term.

Music: 2 students - again you'll be helping with FMP production.

You all need to start thinking of possible themes behind the show as models will be split into two sets. Last year we did 'Saints and Sinners' the hair, make up and shoes were all styled towards this theme.

Any questions, write them down - and we'll cover it in the meeting.
Cheers!

SPRING/SUMMER 12 INSPIRATION & COLOUR

JPEG GEN

'Making sense of the nonsensical has become an instinctive reaction to the influx of information we are confronted with every day. The process of filtering what we like and dislike is the same for everyone, but the outcome is always unique to the individual. This curatorial edited approach to life manifests itself in everything from style to communication, as pastiche and montage become the vocabulary for a new visual language.'

"First an image for manipulation has to be selected and sometimes this is what takes most of my time. Going into a project I often have a very fixed idea of what I want to work with: finding the image with the right background, foreground, resolution, and content can take all day sometimes! I usually search Google images for sources, or alternatively I scan images that myself or my contacts have.

When I have selected the right image to use, I crop and print this at various sizes and edits on various sizes of paper. Working like this, the only limitation is the resolution of the source image. I am currently planning to do some giant paste up art works on buildings and walls, and this requires just the same formula but slightly tweaked...

Originally I would cut up perhaps two or three images or work from a small handful of duplicates. But with time my technique has developed and now I need more! This is just technique development - like how a young painter might begin work with just a few colours of poster paints and one large brush, and years later they are working with multiple colours and honed techniques to blend and create with all the experiences they have learned through practice and exploring their medium.

For me, I take a certain delight in the ready-made colour schemes and the detail of the images I work from." Lola Dupré

Damien Blottiere and Robbie Spencer captures Calvin Klein delivering an elegant lesson in minimalism

Cut & Paste by Damien Blottiere

“After the shoot and the collage process we did with Robbie, I wanted to bring a movement to those fixed images. Working on a collage is like painting but using scissors and a cutter. I cut the lines, I build shapes on paper and faces. The video is trying to reflect the whole process, from the emotion you got while shooting a model to what I’m searching for underneath, following features. You have to hitch the skin to find sensitivity”.
