A Magical Day in London

Last Sunday, my Mum, Granny and I went to London for the day. We went primarily to see the David Hockney exhibition at the Tate Britain, it had its ups and downs, but was overall quite a interesting insight into an artist i knew little about. My favourite work he produced is entitled "a bigger splash" and is really stunning in real life!

A Bigger Splash

After the exhibition I had a quick look at the Turner collection there, I had copied his self portrait a few weeks earlier and to see it in real life was quite stunning!

His Self Portrait

After the exhibition we went shopping! *eye roll* and I purchased 2 things, one pair of shoes from Russell and Bromley and a bag from Mulberry. I will do a separate blog post on the bag, just because I feel it is worthy of its own post, and because I will explain how I could buy it.

anyway...some outfits!

BRANDED FASHION - LOVE IT OR LOATH IT

BRANDED FASHION - LOVE IT OR LOATH IT Brand logos are extremely popular with current Instagram bloggers and their street style, but they continue to divide the fashion community as a question of taste. Many people wrongly judge their fashion aesthetic around how much their outfit costs, and designer logos are an immediate way to communicate that to the average passer by. Personally, I like the look of a logo, so long as it positively impacts the outfit and is not done to "show off" the brand. Many people feel that any brand logo is done to enforce the brand on others, but if you look deeper than just how much that item of designer clothing may cost, logos are a good example of iconic graphic design, and I personally love the look of a logo (if done *classily*). The first logo to outwardly show a brand name was the monogram print of French trunk maker Louis Vuitton. In 1896, Louis Vuitton's son, Georges created the pattern in a bid to prevent counterfeiting of the...

DIY: Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Personalisation

DIY: Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Personalisation Louis Vuitton has a personalisation service whereby you can get several stripes, as well as 3 initials painted on some of their bags and accessories in the Monogram and Damier Graphite canvas prints. I think the designs are screen printed over the canvas (because they are so flawless and are very uniform) using special pigment before being varnished, so I decided to try it myself! Louis Vuitton's Passport cover with Mon Monogram Sadly I don't have the means to screen print myself, so I decided to paint them instead. You will need; Acrylic paint, I find the vibrant colours and white look the best (Acrylic paint is very hardwearing so will not need touching up very often) Paintbrushes (the smaller the better) Tape (to get crisp lines, frog tape works really well) Something to paint on (a cardholder or pencil case are great, but you could do it on pretty much anything) A pencil (to draw out the sh...

The changing face of fashion media today

The changing face of Fashion media today. Fashion media is the primal way that fashion is communicated to a wider audience, and when looking at fashion media, we have to look at how technological advances have developed all types of media communication to advance. The market for communication is a large and diverse place, many companies spend enormous amounts of money on communicating their product to a wider audience through marketing, advertising and face to face selling. Therefore it’s no surprise that in order to have your product remembered, the way your customer is exposed to it has to be unique and different to the rest. The most innovative fashion media, like online social media is the most important fashion media today. Social media is a broad term of classification, and not every type of social media can communicate fashion to a viewer effectively. I think that instagram is an extremely important example of fashion media. According to statista.com, there are 800 Million...
