Project Sign Off and Project idea

Hello

Today I will show you my final idea for project and my Project Sign off.





I decided to write an article about 70s retro fashion in nowadays.  


More and more people pay attention to fashion trends, experiment with it, add something new or old. 

“The year 1970 was a year with no predominant look. Walk a block or so on any big city street, you’de see women wearing Indian block-print bedspread dresses, tight tie-dye T-shirts and hip hugger jeans, afros, boots that hooked up the front, long calico dresses, rose-printed black-challis dirndl skirts, maxi coats, and microminis” (Vintage Dancer,2018).

This photo shows an example, what did the women wear in  the 1970s.

Project Ideas

Hello 

I have been thinking how to prepare my project for several days. It's difficutl for me because I'm a person who can't change your thoughts into something real. 

I would like to make a short film about me, about my changes in terms of fashion and psychology, what it gave me, how these changes in my life helped me.

I found some inspirations but I still don't have the full vision of the project.

This video I liked it very much and to some extent I would like to do something similar.

















               TURNT Fashion Film 2018

Black and white photos, characterization and character movements are great, captivated me. However, Video sounds are not something that I would like to use, they do not appeal to me.
Iwould like to add my voice or caption in my film but I know thai it can be more difficult without professional equipment.

The next inspiration is video which I found when I was looking for fashion directors and I found it on the website : Cadence Film. The video is created by Quentin Jones,  
mixed-media artist and filmmaker. She create black and white, surrealist videos.

















                        Punk Stories

This video presents Cara Delevingne who is presented in punk style. The video is different than previous video, because it contains a lot of chaotic, 3D elements, is presented in a surreal way. The whole is interesting and I like it but it is not a viedo that I could watch all the time. There are very many elements that are not typical for ordinary videos. She expresses the emotions of this culture not only through clothing but also through body expression, feelings. You can see that the author focuses more on post production, editing than just filming. She try focus on design and special effects.


First, I thought that my video would consist of my old and present photos, to show my change, in many ways. But now I think that the video also consists of my photos but they would express emotions. I would like to use the colors of the costumes and convey how everyone sees them and what I feel when performing a given activity. I would focus on expressing emotions through both mode and color, of course, in the light of the possibilities I have during today's situation (epidemic).




















                               




                                     Photo 1.

This photo shows more or less what I mean. The colours that the kids are wearing reflect their emotions.  
















                                     Photo 2.

This screen-shot shows how many emotions one color can convey. 


Photo 3. 

I like this quote very much, it's real.


As for the project, I'm still not sure how I would like to use these ideas.

 Thank you 


See Ya!

Object Lesson

Hi

Today I will show you my Object Lesson. I chose baseball cap.

I chose this cap because is different than all baseball caps and I like it. When I feel better, it's a strange but positive feeling, hah. Associate it with a movie that I like very much, it also shows changes in life, changes in myself, finding my own life path. That is why there is another design inspiration. 










The movie which I chose:  Burlesque 

                         Burlesque 


This film is about young woman who decides to change her life and start doing what she really loves to sing. She goes to another city and discovers a place that changes her life. 

I love this movie because I try to identify with the main character who plays Christina Aguilera, she discovers her passion, changes everything, risks and pays to take that risk.


                    Christina Aguilera

Her private life also shows changes for the better, because when she was 6 years old with 
 mother moved to her grandmother because of the aggression due to both physical and mental aggression of the father. After a hard life she managed to achieve success, even leaving her father is not easy.


However, my bassebal cap also has a different use. I used it as a container for jewelry or something like this. It seems to us that each item is intended for one use only. Well, no, we can always look at it from a different perspective.  


This show that we can give new life to ordinary things. in my case bassebal cap is for me therapy in the form of fashion but it can also be a box in which I hide something that is important to me. It can be my diary or a list of ideas for changing myself. 
It can hide my mind in diferrent way. 





Thank you 

See you in the next post!

Welcome to a new Term!

Hello in New Term!

I said, since we're starting a new term, I should change something in my life. For a long time I started to interact more with fashion, when I have something different, strange, I feel good about it. 

I think it can also be part of a therapy for which no one has ever had time. When I was a younger always  in my free time I watched with my mother two television programs which I will use as an example of therapy in this post.


First porogram:

"How to Look Good Naked" 















"How to Look Good Naked" Gok Wan

This is a program run by Gok Wan, a fashion stylist who encourages both women and men to show their body in front of the camera. He help them change their lives, they felt good in their bodies without any surgery or diets, only fashion.

For a few years I forgot about this program but I remembered thinking about a new project in four walls. This program is great at helping others when they have lost faith in themselves. However, I think that I would never dare to show my body in front of the camera, for this you need a lot of courage and thus the program seems strange, maybe even controversial.
























               Gok Wan

Gok Wan is a fashion stylist and award-winning TV presenter. He studied acting in Central School of Speech and Drama in London but he discovered that his true calling is fashion. 

Second program:








      








   Sablewskiej sposob na mode

This is video with the most beautiful metamorphoses, no, I will find a trailer anywhere but show trailer from her new program which is also about fashion and helping others in the same way, thanks to metamorphosis.

















              Sablewska od stylu. Na okazje

It is a Polish program which also help women feel confident and beautiful in their body with the help of fashion. The program is run by Maja Sablewska who makes metamorphoses of women to bring beauty out of them. 

The program is brilliant, because this is not just a fashion program, it shows you how to easily change your life for the better. Maja supports and shows how to love yourself, it is important nowadays. Both programs are very similar to each other, they are actually identical. Of course I highly recommend both programs.





















                             Maja Sablewska

She is one the most popular celebrity manager, image advisor, years later she gave up the stars and took care of ordinary people from both her fashion programs.

Both programs are my inspiration.

In the next post I will show you more details of my project.

See ya!
