rhymes with spears...

a couple of years ago, whilst studying in photography at university, i went to visit the photographers gallery. i went just to have a look around, and straight away i was drawn too vee speers collection entitled the birthday party. the collection was based around her daughters dressing up box, designed to evoke memories of her own childhood.

the images of the children are very disturbing and eerie, leaving you with an uncomfortable feeling which in turn could lead to a certain conclusion or even hold an option against them.

even though these images, or in fact the purpose behind speers collection is not directly linked to my own work, it gives me a good ground of understanding behind why people produce certain work and how it ends up. the fashion/clothing used gives a different twist, an element i find endearing. 

its interesting to see a different point of view behind a child's decision on dressing up, and as an adult see's it.

i hope its not too late

today i had a massive panic. i forgot to load the cover sheet to my SOI!!! i still dont know if i will be okay, but i hate not doing things right, im am defiantly a person that panics, also the deadline. i got so confused and can only pray that things were done in time.

my research file is getting ever so slightly but slowly bigger. i need to do sooooo much more. i have done a lot of research but i have not put it together, plus i like to add a bit of flavour to my work. a bit of masking tape and letraset to jazz it up will do. 

tomorrow, the aim is to do much more of my file. however, for now, i will leave you with some amazing vintage clothes, fashioned by Lara Blair on her blog " Vixen Vintage", i have come across today. I LOVE her 50s style, i wish  could pull it off, check out her blog

new but old

whilst researching further into vintage clothing as a trend, i came across these images from trendhunter.com.

although these images are not vintage, they do look it. 

these will be helpful when putting together another vintage mood board, but centred along "new" vintage.

victory for vintage

today i spent the entire day working on my research book and vintage mood board. i collected vintage images from google ranging from pin ups to clock faces, which makes an interesting collage, i hope.

iD please.....

as well as articles, questionnaires and books etc, im looking at a collection of fashion and retail magazines. my absolute favourite is iD magazine. i have used these throughout college, university and back to college again and they have never failed me.

they supply me with amazing street images, gorgeous studio shoots, factual interviews and superb fashion info, so why wouldn't i use them. so here is a taster of the covers.
