Today, we went to Shoreditch, an area in London, every wall of which is covered in street art. It is also a popular place for vintage stores, independent artists and street food. As I was looking for people to take pictures of for my street style portfolio, I realized that, for understandable reasons, it is… Continue reading Shoreditch

As a kid, I was always told that I came from a different planet, so I got really interested in space and studied it quite a lot in my free time. Today, when we went to the science museum, I was mesmerized by the space section. I’ve spent around two hours walking around, sketching, and… Continue reading Science Museum

For my promotional statement, I imagined that my designs were a result of a collaboration with ASOS, an online shopping platform that is especially popular youth with interests similar to my client’s.  Here, I covered all the topics I considered worthy of mentioning: my inspiration for the project, the reference to the 1966 prosthetics, as… Continue reading Tobolbox 10 – promotional statement

Originally, i was planning to bring to life my colorful illustration that included collage details. I ordered some colorful fabric to create a half-skirt, but the outfit as a whole come out looking a bit off. The colors distracted from the glove details and the idea of seeing beauty through the pain. As I experimented… Continue reading Toolbox 9 -media styling

It was just as fun and challenging, only this time I felt a little more comfortable because I feel more confident in my drawing skills.  I started out with a very conventional and detailed… Continue reading Toolbox 8 – illustration

What followed, was the… Continue reading Toolbox 7 – fashion project designing

For today’s lesson, I decided to create a customer profile for a 20y.o. fashion student. She is studying fashion design (womenswear in particular) and is wearing Marni, Vintage Miu Miu, vintage Versache and a skirt made by an independent Korean designer, whose name I (very unfortunately) couldn’t find. I would describe my customers style as… Continue reading Toolbox 6 – customer profile

Today we designed a pair of shoes for a collaboration with a brand of our choice. I decided to collaborate with a Spanish brand called “Dominnico”. Dominnico is a modern ready-to-wear brand, found in Madrid in 2016 by Domingo Rodriguez Lázarro. It is notable for experimenting with different materials and silhouettes, which makes it very… Continue reading Toolbox 5 – shoe design and collection analysis

Today, we were experimenting with collages to generate some initial ideas. Using the research  photos we have collected during the trips to South Kensington and Shoreditch, each of us has created 8 collages that we then used as an inspiration for some unconventional designs: for some it was shoes, for others – accessories, and for third… Continue reading Toolbox 4 -collage and drawing

On today’s lesson, we were taking 4 fashion photographies and filming a moving image. Before, I used to film some fun stop-motion videos for my parents’ business’ social media. This time, however, I got to apply my knowledge to a fashion-related theme and having a real human model (instead of a chocolate bar) was a… Continue reading Toolbox 3 – styling and moving image
