Heya!
I hope you are all doing well! Today's post is about the university of beds graduate showing. So as a lot of you will know I love all things creative and particularly fashion related. The uni of beds were holding their yearly show of the graduate work which had been produced. I went along to see some of the work as I find looking at what students have produced super inspiring. I also like the idea of getting a better understanding of the type of thing I will be doing at uni.
The graduate show was for the whole of art and design so included subjects like Photography, 3D Design, Art, and Fashion.
I was particularly interested by the art and the fashion. I found it very inspiring and I took some photos so I thought why not share them with you?
A lot of the art on display had a very abstract kind of style to it. I actually really like this kind of style. I really liked the layering of strokes and how these created an in depth look. The combination of medias also interested me from the look of acrylics, spray and print.
The fashion was the thing which really stood out to me at the graduate show. The garments where lay out in a runway formation which I thought was very unique as normally as exhibitions the garments are just placed in front of a white board. There was also garments around the room on different levels which I also really liked as it meant different angles of garments where focused on.
The first image of the fashion piece had a wool combined felt texture to it which I really liked. It was unusual but still high quality, this was along side ruffled sleeves in a chiffon style fabric. This had in depth layers and worked really well in contrast with the felt style fabric. I was really intrigued by this piece. It was unusual but not in obvious ways but the uncommon combinations worked really well and complimented one another.
I also really liked the pleated brown garment. The shades of brown together gave the garment a contoured look. The pleats them emphasized this with the straight triangular angles. This is something I would like to work on with creating in an experimental aspect.
I was then really interested in the blue blazer style of garment. Recently I have been loving thick silk style textures. This particularly stood out in the electric blue tone. I also liked how it was a cropped style as I feel this kind of garment is really great on a petite figure for emphasizing the waist the darts also give the blazer the shape which would emphasis curves. The blazer has both a smart yet contemporary look to it and I think that is a hard concept to grasp and I really liked it.
The cuts on the jackets also really interested me. Trending recently has been un-hemed edges. I actually really like this I feel it adds more of a straight shape to garments and I felt that this kind of look was particularly shown in the garments in the picture above.
This piece was of particular interest to me. I have been really drawn to neck-wear recently and after seeing this piece I have been really inspired to start experimenting with the concept. This whole piece worked with Victorian shapes in a very modern contemporary way and I think this created a great result. The basic colours also meant emphasis was put onto the shape which I found interesting.
At the fashion section of the exhibition there was also portfolios on display. This gave a really good understanding of the process of making the garments and I found this particularly interested as this will be what I will be creating at University.
I hope you enjoyed today's post! I will be back Thursday with another. Thank you for reading!
