Wonderland Shoot








Wonderland Photo Shoot


Inspired by the movie 'Alice in the Wonderland' and 'Wonderland' series of Kirsty Mitchell, 
I have produced a shoot with the concept of wonderland like scene.
From the beginning brainstorming concept until the photo shoot taking and post production, 
I was taking part of the whole production.

Set decorations was used in the shoot this time to make the whole image more vivid and 
more like a unreal place that you can only go in dreams.
The hair design and makeup is also the main elements that makes the model looks fairy-like.
Butterflies images are printed on tracing paper and paper flowers are sticked onto the face and hair of the model to achieve that feeling.

Hermes Fashion Show






Hermes 

Autumn and Winter 14-15




Oversized coat is the trend of the winter fall of Hermes.
With the common usage winter colours,
with the help of the exaggerated proportions of coats and pants,
it created a luxury look.
It is creative to use stiff material to create the soft look coat,
and it is successful and wonderful.

I like the grey coat in the top left photo the most,
as it was simple designed but the overall shape is unusual.
The exaggerate coat modify the body shape to a taller one.
And the softness of the fabric makes a difference with 
the overall shape of the coat comparing with the stiff one.

Paul Smith Exhibition






Hello, My Name Is Paul Smith


I had attended an exhibition, "Hello, My name is Paul Smith". The exhibition describes about the history of Paul Smith as a designer who gives his brand an identity.

The exhibits mainly follows the way that Paul Smith creates his brand. Starting with the photos of the inspiration ideas to the design of each session and the video about the process of the fashion show. I know a lot of the background ideas.

It is a meaningful exhibition to understand more about Paul Smith. For my essay, I do found a lot go useful information for my primary research.

Styling Photo Shoot: Voodoo








Voodoo


I have shooted my styling project of Voodoo style today. By the help the projector and a plain wall. I created a patterned background with the mood of voodoo. I used about 1hour for the make up and I made my own fade eye lashes by sticking the threads on the eye lashes.

As the concept of the photo shoot is black and evil, I have done many other things to achieve this photo shoot such as choosing the clothes for it. By preparing for the photo shoot, I enjoyed the process a lot.

Creative Fashion Show Setting

CHANEL Fall-Winter 2014/15 Ready-to-Wear




This video of the Fashion Show shows the winter fall 14-15 of Chanel. 
I think the stage set up of the show is creative as it is decorated as a supermarket.
The idea of it is unique and new. 
I think it is quite crazy as a fashion show idea.
But the idea do rise a lot of people's attention.
Also everything are nicely combined and settled.
That should be the job of a good creative director.
In terms of the excellent term work and planning work of the creative strategy,
the fashion show was really successful.

In every season of the Fashion Market, 
although a trend is always set,
each brand will have their own marketing methods,
so the design and advertising materials are still having some original style of the brand.

London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week


2014





I am so glad that I have been to the London Fashion Week of this season. 
As the weather today is very bad which makes many people refuse to take a photo. 
This is the first time of my to take styling pictures in the Fashion Week. 
Different from other areas, people tried to wear as fashionable as they can. 
The people that gave me the greatest impression is this four, 
so I further made some illustrations by using Photoshop.

The ideas of making it are mostly comes from the photo itself.
By creating a complex illustration and changing the view point of the photos,
some creative illustration has done.

McQueen's Fashion Film



Alexander McQueen | Spring/Summer 2014 | Campaign Film






The film of the new campaign of Alexander McQueen
uses Kate Moss to be her model.
The darkness of the film create a mysterious mood.
The mysterious feeling of the fashion film draws peoples attention
at continue watching the film.
I think that the film do full presents the theme of the season.
