Art - Fashion Identity.

   After going to the Barbicain last week I decided to take a 2nd trip to London and visited the Royal Academy of Arts, the exhibition being held was called Art - Fashion  Identity, there was some really skills and interesting pieces of art through fashion being shown....

This is a dress creatively made by Susie MacMurray, September 2009, Widow.
The dress appears to be made out of material but after studying up close you realise that it has been carefully constructed with individual silver needles pierced through black under material, this creates a spectacular effect and makes it into a piece of art for me.


This constructed piece by Yohji Yamamoto caught my eye as I thought his use of wooden segments fixed together created a rigid structure yet allowed movement with the hinges.....

This is a Alexander McQueen lace couture, I thought this was beautiful and when looking closely it had obviously been made with a lot of skill and passion.
There was also some wigs and comtemporary forms of art being display, these three pieces especially stuck out to me ...

    A stunning blog, displaying very thoroughgoing research leading to some independently produced and spectacularly creative outcomes!

    To criticise the functionality of your layout feels mean….but I am finding navigating around your blog slightly confusing – where is the archive index? (I think when we go on to produce a website a lot of your content will be more successfully displayed there).

    More generally there are some spelling errors in your text, one way to avoid this problem is to write up your postings in word use spell check, and then paste in the text.

    I am looking forward to seeing the whole process of your Fashion Illustration task posted. Remember to maintain the quality of the images you post.

    Congratulations you are now achieving a distinction in this unit.
