Sustainable fashion

Sustainable fashion is more than just a trend; it's a movement towards a greener and more ethical future. In the world of fast fashion, where trends come and go in the blink of an eye, sustainable fashion aims to slow down the pace and prioritize the planet and its people. It embraces eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton, hemp, and recycled fabrics, which have a lower impact on the environment. Sustainable fashion also focuses on ethical production practices, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for garment workers. By choosing sustainable fashion, we can make a positive impact on both style and the world around us.

Handcrafted fahsion in handcrafts

Handcrafted fashion in Indian handicrafts is a true testament to the artistry and skill of our talented artisans. From the intricate embroidery of Chikankari in Lucknow to the dazzling mirror work of Kutch, each region in India boasts its own unique handicraft tradition. These exquisite handcrafted techniques are incorporated into contemporary fashion, adding a touch of heritage and charm to modern designs. Whether it's the delicate threadwork of Phulkari or the vibrant block prints of Bagru, Indian handicrafts bring a sense of authenticity and cultural richness to the world of fashion. By embracing handcrafted fashion, we not only celebrate the craftsmanship of our artisans but also contribute to the preservation of our cultural heritage.

Trend spotting in Indian stores and malls

From traditional ethnic wear to trendy Western outfits, there's something for everyone. Indian stores are a treasure trove of vibrant sarees, intricately embellished lehengas, and elegant salwar kameez sets. The variety of fabrics, colors, and patterns is simply breathtaking. And when it comes to Western wear, you'll find a plethora of fashionable options like chic dresses, stylish tops, and trendy denim. The fusion of Indian and Western elements in fashion is also quite popular, with designers creating unique pieces that blend the best of both worlds. Trust me, a trip to an Indian store or mall is a fashion lover's paradise!

abt the gloves, i think yea its alr, but in a way, i think elsa has grow some kind of resentment to it as what it used to mean to her, unlike other people who think gloves are a fahsion item, accessories, or an utility. But for Elsa, its a prison, no matter how much she recovered from the traumas, i mean it shows.

Since the first movie, Elsa has shown that she wants to distance herself from what she used to be, and sort of rebels in a way. hol on, hear me out of this.

1. Shows a bit more skin.

we've never seen Elsa in an off shoulder dress before her ice dress, and since that, she always uses an off shoulder dress, except her travel dress & blue nightgown.

2. Hairstyle

every queen of arendelle uses the same hairstyles through out the movies, we can see this on Idunna's hairstyle, Elsa's coronation hairstyle, and eventually Anna's Hairstyle too when she's coronated as Queen, but after Elsa's return from her ice palace, she never seen using the traditional Queen hairstyle anymore, and ofc, prefer her signature braid.

AND, And, and, she doesn't dawn the crown.

3. Dress colors & style

Arrendalle has it's signature colors for its reigning monarch, we can see this on the reigning monarch, from Agnar's millitary suit, Elsa's coronation dress, and eventually Anna's queen dress. its mostly of darker colors such as Black, dark green, and dark purple, and in case of Agnar's, its black and red. (so mostly black).

But Elsa, she prefers lighter colors, such as light blue (referring to the f1 ice dress), light green (frozen Fever dress) and pink (frozen 2 dress), and ofc, she prefers to shows a bit more skin. usually off the shoulder top, or a near transparent sleeves.

yeah, im too deep down the rabit hole in this

I know I talked about this in the propaganda for that one poll, but the amount of emotion Frozen is able to wring out of the fact that Elsa and Anna can't touch each other still makes me so insane as an Elsanna shipper. And like, yes, Elsa can't touch anyone, but with Anna, it's the one person she has left. It's the person she loves most. It's the person she's sacrificed years of her own life to protect and who has never left her thoughts all those years. And Anna longs to be held, longs to be touched, longs for something other than the void of seeming indifference that inspires Anna's own kind of devotion.

The gloves. The prohibition of skin to skin contact. It still makes me insane. The fact that so much of the imagery surrounding Elsa in the first movie is the gloves preventing physical touch, preventing the warmth of skin touching skin, a hand holding a hand - and when the gloves are gone, Elsa still can't touch her sister, still recoils from her though she wants to hold her and Anna wants to be held.

The self-denial on Elsa's part of a love that you've never stopped wanting.

The absolute feast all this gives Elsanna shippers when the sisters finally embrace - Elsa, who has just slumped brokenly over the icy figure of Anna, finally letting herself touch her but only able to touch ice now, not the warmth of skin - Elsa finally feeling the warmth of Anna's body against hers as Anna thaws - Anna awakening from icy death to feel the sister she has loved in isolation for years and assumed for years would never look her way holding her - fulfilment of something she has longed for, for years...

The fact so much of this longing centers on imagery to do with touch and specifically skin to skin contact, gloves cast to the wind, is friggin' heaven for incest shippers.

Like yes, we made jokes about them being awkward at the coronation, but it's so much deeper than that and it makes me insane.

How to Style Traditional Kurtis for Daily Wear

Traditional kurtis have become a staple in every Indian woman’s wardrobe, blending comfort with style effortlessly. Whether you are heading to work, running errands, or catching up with friends, kurtis offer versatility and elegance. If you are looking to shop for traditional kurtis online, here’s a guide to help you style them for daily wear while keeping your look fresh and trendy.

1. Pair with the Right Bottoms

Leggings: The classic combination of kurtis with leggings is ideal for a clean and polished look. Choose contrasting colors to make your outfit pop.

Palazzos: Wide-legged palazzos add a contemporary touch to your traditional kurti. Opt for printed palazzos with plain kurtis or vice versa.

Jeans: For a casual, Indo-western vibe, pair your kurti with slim-fit jeans. This is perfect for college or casual outings.

Skirts: Flowy skirts paired with kurtis can give you a boho-chic appearance. Experiment with asymmetrical kurtis for a modern twist.

2. Layer It Up

Add a denim jacket or a lightweight shrug over your kurti for a stylish, layered look.

Dupattas are a timeless addition. Choose light cotton or chiffon dupattas for daily wear and experiment with prints and patterns.

For cooler days, pair your kurti with a long cardigan or a stylish stole.

3. Accessorize Smartly

Jewelry: Jhumkas, stud earrings, or simple silver bangles can elevate your look without being over the top.

Footwear: Juttis or mojaris complement traditional kurtis perfectly. You can also opt for comfortable flats or kolhapuri chappals for daily wear.

Bags: Sling bags or totes in earthy tones pair well with traditional kurtis, adding functionality and style.

4. Choose the Right Fabric

For daily wear, go for breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or rayon. These materials keep you comfortable and allow for easy movement.

During winters, opt for kurtis in wool blends or thicker cotton for added warmth.

5. Experiment with Prints and Colors

Block prints, florals, and paisley patterns are evergreen choices for daily wear.

Neutral shades like beige, white, and pastel tones work well for a subtle look, while vibrant colors like red, mustard, or green can brighten up your day.

6. Opt for Comfortable Cuts

A-line kurtis and straight-cut kurtis are perfect for everyday wear as they provide a comfortable fit.

High-low hemline kurtis or side-slit designs add a modern flair without compromising on comfort.

7. Mix and Match for Variety

Pair plain kurtis with printed or embroidered bottoms for a fresh look.

Use colorful scarves or belts to cinch your waist and add a trendy touch.

Major self directed Media based artwork.

Before starting my media based artwork I looked to my favourite artists; Wes Anderson and Nadia Lee Cphen, to gain some inspiration. I further looked at various installation artworks, one that stood out to me the most is Tracey Emin ��My Bed’. With the help of these artists I was able to come to the conclusion of creating my own installation for my overall artwork. I knew I wanted to focus on portraiture and play with the theme surrealism by manipulating the time and situation within my work. Further, I think it would be interesting to incorporate a high fashion theme amongst my images to add individuality and character towards my series of photographs. 

INSPIRATION

Wes Anderson is a American filmmaker who is well known for his distinctive visual and narrative styles. ‘Moon Rise Kingdom’ (2012), really stood out to me through the use of colours and composition that was used throughout the whole movie.

His techniques within filmmaking has always been intriguing to the public, I would liker to adapt such skills and intertwine them into my own images but still maintaining my own style. By indulging myself within the world of Andersons I’m able to gain a rich understanding of composition and the overall style that will help me in my final project. 

Nadia lee Cohen is a British filmmaker and self-portrait artist. Her style mainly focuses on the 1950-70s American and British cinema that is portrayed specially through her series ‘Hello my name is’. 

Cohen’s unique style of photographs and films has always been extremely satisfying to the eye. She creates captivating images through her unique skills in what seems like a materialistic world that she creates in studios and settings. In this series especially  has inspired me to create my own bizarre portrait photos. Her use of hair, makeup and costumes are all factors that build a somewhat plastic/fake appearances in each image creating a doll like figure. The posture of these subjects is what builds a strong composition and character that I will have to think about very carefully as I will only be using one piece of item with each image. I will have to use that to my own advantage to create a solid composition within the frame. 

Tracey Emin is an English artist known for her autobiographical and confessional artwork. I looked closely at one of her most famous installations of all time, ‘My bed’ (1998). She was inspired by the aftermath of her bed following a bad-breakup. Surrounding her bed was crumpled tissues, cigarettes, empty vodka bottles, through this image she believed that this was a work of art. 

Installation view of Tracey Emin, My Bed, at the Turner Prize Exhibition, Tate Gallery, London, 1999-2000. 

I was inspired by  her use of various random objects and created it into a one large installation artwork. It makes you wonder all the little things that we own or collect over the years into one little section of your own home. I wanted to use this idea within my own work by incorporating one random object in my house to show our relationship with our belongings towards the audience. The messy and uncleaned bedroom creates a buzzer compositions as it is placed in the middle of a meusume. She expresses a personal response depicting vulnerability, a self-portrait that doesn’t veer from the messiness of depression and heartbreak. Where she comments the views and her own painful experience. 

Mario Testino is a Peruvian fashion and portrait photographer whose work is found mainly in international magazines such as Vouge, V Magazine and Vanity Fair. High fahsion  photography has always been an interest in mine through the use of set design, preprofessional models and the mood and styling of the overall photo. Testino creates emblematic images that have contributed to the success of high fashion brands while he challenges traditional views on gender by mixing masculinity and femininity and suggests sensuality rather than. sexuality. 

Right: Amiaya, Tokyo, 2018   Left: Mario Testino Document Journal, May , 2014 

Above it is clear that Testino captures the moment in time and brings out the humanity of his subjects, creating a connection between the model and the audience. His images are captivating to the eye using bright bold colours, he also draws on his printed work to create a two layer image to exemplify the chaos within the image. Further I chose Testino as one of my artist of inspiration as his works have always stood out to me, especially for this task I want to create a my own inspired high fashion photographs to create an editorial series based on context and situation. 

DEVELOPING IDEA 

Before capturing any photographs I've decided to to sketch out each image that I will be taking, to gain a better understanding fo what my series will ultimately look like.  As you can see each drawing has one coloured object item that will correspond with the outfits. I wanted to keep a colourful rainbow theme throughout each image to indorse a light-hearted mood for the audience. 

Red: In this image I will mainly focus on the the colour rose red. This strong vibrant colour will be structured by the object; Eiffel tower statue. 

Blue: The image will have a striking electric blue tone throughout the photo. I will be using a phone box as my prop. 

Pink: For this image I will be using a mannequin head wearing a pink bob wig as my prop. My model will be wearing a pink coat that will correspond to the wig. 

Green: The green pop wad a little tricky to find as I will also be using toilet paper in the image as my main prop. 

PRACTICE SHOOT 

Proofsheet

Evaluation: For this shoot I had to create my own little studio within my house. This was very tricky as I had to find multiple lamps and set them up facing towards the subject, however there was not enough lamps to achieve the studio lighting that I wanted. Resulting to using flash on my camera allowed me to get that bright image that I wanted. I worked with small colourful objects just so I can see how myself series will turn out. Overall I’m very pleased with my final mini practice shoot as it helped me know what camera settings I should use and how I should position my c camera for the actual shoots. 

SHOOT ONE: BLUE

Proofsheet

Evaluation: The blue images turned out exactly how I wanted and I’m very pleased knowing that there are potential images that I can use for my final series. I did have problem with the lighting as my flash was turning off and on. I did like the ones without flash but I would have to ensure all my other images have the same tone in colours to keep a theme throughout my images.

SHOOT TWO: GREEN  Proofsheet

Evaluation: This shoot was very tricky as I couldn’t find anything in my house that was green except this this three layered holder for tissue paper. My whole approach to this series is suppose to express quriky and playfulness however use toilet paper was very hard create a structured composition. Once again the lighting was going all over the play due to the flash turning off and on which made the images seen dark. There are a few images that the subject is holding the toilet paper that covers the entire frame however there is something still very off about these images that don’t quite fit into my series. I will have to see how I go for my next couple photos if I was to incorporate a green image of not.  SHOOT THREE: PINK 

Proofsheet 

Evaluation:  The test shoot did not go as well as I hoped it would due to the prop not suiting the overall image. I felt as if the mannequin head with the pink wig looked somewhat awkward and due to the flash it washed out the white face in an unpleasant way. Further, I used a flask but the i felt as if the small object did not justice and was failure once again. Thus, I’ve decided to not use these pink images in my final work and due to the short amount of time I have im enabled to repeat this pink shoot again.       SHOOT FOUR: RED  Proofsheet 

Evaluation: I am very pleased with this shoot as it turned out exactly how I expected. I was able to create new composition within each image by placing the Eiffel tower artefact around the photo. It was also very fun to shoot as it was quirky and random. As of right now the red and blue images are the only ones that turned out great but for the other ones I was very disappointed. I decided to do another photo shoot using the colour yellow that will hopefully stand out just the other primary colours. 

WEEK FIVE

FEEDBACK FROM TEACHER 

In today’s class I was able to discuss my overall idea to my teacher, Vicky and showed her my images that I have taken. Further, I discussed how I will be doing another shoot today with a yellow theme however we both agreed on just work on the blue and red images to create a more detailed image. She suggested to put a backdrop to add texture and more depth. I also decided to present my work in a large spacious room because it will allow the audience to  move amongst the space and interact with the objects. 

 I further went to the printing room to meet with Josh, where he helped me set up my images on Lightroom, however we discovered the image quality is very low due to my camera setting. This meant my images will not print in a high resolution causing it to look burly and having a lot of noise. Since I will be doing another shoot today I will have ensure that my camera is on the highest pixel where next Tuesday I will be able to print them in a higher resolution photo. 

Throughout the day I worked on my blog and edited a few parts. Later in the day I will hopefully be taking my last shoot for this task that will help improve my overall final work. 

PINTEREST INSPIRATION 

Before my shoot I wanted to look for more inspiration to really develop an idea throughout my images and to see what composition I’m aiming to create. I looked through Pinterest and found a couple of images that have really helped me gain an idea on how to develop my backdrop for my final images. 

SHOOT FIVE & SIX

Set up: For todays photo shoot I was able to get a ring light from a friend of mine which allowed me to achieve that bright studio lighting without using flash on my photos. In the early photo shoots my flash kept going off and on due to the auto setting, however this time I kept it off. Below, the images show a set up off my mini studio that I’ve created. You can see I had purchased fabric for my background and had to tape it to my wall creating riffles to add texture. 

SHOOT FIVE: RED & BLUE

Evaluation: I was very pleased with this photo shoot as I was able to pick two images for my final work. I made a few annotations on the proof sheet that describe which images I liked my ticking them and others that I found awkward or out fo place. 

EDITING & PRINTING 

Below is the two chosen images of red and blue photos. I have placed my edits of the red photo as you can see the before and after image. Where skin tone is now warmer and will suit nicely with the blue skin tone. I also had to  fill in the left bottom corner of the blue image to get rid of the white background. 

Then Josh helped me print test images on fine art smooth paper. This allowed me to view my printed images and see if the colours and tone on the screen matched with ones on the paper. Below is an image of the set up for printing the mini test prints. 

Here is a photo of Josh placing the art smooth paper A3 into the printer. 

TEST PRINTS 

I’m very pleased how my test print turned out as they were both successful. The skin in the red image was really balanced and complimented the other blue image. This ultimately made a nice duo. 

PRESENTATION

Below is my overall presentation setup. I had to pin up the print using a hammer however during this stage a couple of finger print marked my blue print. I then asked Izzy to help, we decided on taping a clear plastic seal at the edges of my image and hammer those down without touching my prints. 

Further, I placed two pillars infant of my photographs and put the objects on it. As you can see I placed a miniature version of the red chair on the pillar because it would of been impossible too bring the actual human size form chair to the University. Hopefully this alternative still manages to bring a high quality installation. 

(I tried to upload my final images on a google drive but it wouldn't upload because of the photos resolution being too high. I could email you the images so please let me know.) 

FINAL EVALUATION 

Overall, I am very pleased with my final media based artwork, as it turned out exactly how I wanted. Throughout the long process I was able to finally achieve my final images. By the last shoot I knew that I have came a long way, and was extremely happy how they turned out. The editing and printing stage ran smoothly with the help of Josh as we were able to achieve it in less than a hour. I learnt how to use Lightroom where he helped me edit the red image skin tone to match the blue one. We printed on shiny gloss paper however when I was hanging it up I accidentally go my finger prints on the image. This made me question if I ever wanna use glossy paper again but the overall look was spectacular. On the presentation day I was able to locate two block stands where I placed my two objects. The outcome was nicely placed however, if I was given more time and resources I would of done a whole large series, to really complete my vision. Thus, despite the lack of photos and time, Im very happy how the overall presentation was put together. 

ARTIST STATEMENT 

My media based artwork, “What the eye can't see”, focuses on beauty found within the mundane as we look beyond the superficial standards of human perception. The images tells a story, of a young women possessing the objects; a vintage phone box and a love heart chair,  that challenge our perception of beauty where these inanimate objects oppose our natural indications of beauty. Furthermore, the model becomes one with the objects where we start to associate beauty to a further extent than our natural standards. 

Inspired by situation and creating a time and place, each setting compliments the colour of the object, forming an aesthetic appeal to the series. By brining these objects to life by presenting them directly in front  of the audience it creates a layer of realism allowing us to maintain our focus on the bright vivid items. The interactive installation allows us to question our own individual associations of beauty, as we view two perspective; the images and the objects placed in front. Overall, by exploring humanities identities of true beauty and superficial perfection, my work looks beyond these standards viewing mundane items that provide its own natural beauty.
