i like these pics above, for me its the styling of the garments and the mix match feel it gives. In particular the side shot of the black and white stripes with the glass and not forgetting in the above images the platform nikes

i like the way in which the accessories(shoes) in these images are shown, the use of the model holding up the images. Images from Wonderland.

Elliot Erwitt

Elliot Erwitt born 1928 , as a child he lived in Milan Italy before emigrating to the U.S , it was his time here were he developed an interest in photography as he worked in a commerical dark room . After with drawing from the from the miliatry in 1953 , he was invited to work for magnum by invation of Robert Capa.

His work has that touch of humour whilst capturimg the candid human emotions.

The two above image are in a series of called "Hand Pix", just as they are titled all of the image include something to do with hands, i do like the playfulness of some of the images. In particaullary the first image the oversized hand pointing at the male who is using his hand to pick at his nose... pretty disgusiting but i find it ironic and quite amusing.

The two images above are from a series called Phototoons, these are snaps he took of real time that looks as if it has just come out of a cartoon.

Masion Martin Margiela

Whilst in Paris we went by to Les Art s Decoratifs, and there was a display done Maison Martin Margiela called "Objects and Editions". I was already aware of Margiela other projects suchas his interior installation work called "Mat,shine, Brilliant" which was featured in Milan. And of Course his fashion lines.

The talents of him go on and on. These images are paper based and are really intricate like his Artisanal Collection of his garments. Reinventing Paper and images into 3D pieces of artwork that reflect an explosion of images of his work. (as above)
A unique Identity is what Margiela has created just like himself and his work.

Spanish photographer Alvaro Villarrubia has captured images of Masion Martin Margiela Artisanal Collection. The garment feartured are made of vintage materials that have been redesigned producing new objects that are extraordinary.

I really love the way in which Margiela keeps an really low profile , he has never been one to expose himself as he has never had his picture taken and stays back stage after his shows. Another thing about Margiela is the way in which he used pieces of cloth with numbers ranging from 0-23 represnting the collection it is from without putting his name on it. It wasn't until his 20th anniversary when he replaced the uncredited tags with a classic logo style tag.


“Our most important sources of inspiration have always been excesses and the transformations of everyday life” This is the philosophy behind the collection.

Below is images from the Artisanal collection know as 0. The garments featured are of limited quanity and construted by hand creating unique pieces. Each piece brings back to life the orginal product in a eco-frienly whilst still reflecting the orginality and histoiry within the materials. The collection has new pieces added each year.

Above the centre image is A Scarf from the S/S 06 cOLLECTION,Made in france. This scarf is made from various floaral fabric from many eras , some of the fabrics have been hand dyed or kept in the orignal colour pallete. The fabrics have then been hand sewn to create this scarf.


Below fist image on the left-Blazer fromS/S COLLECTION 2008 ,Made in France .The jacket is made from a large number of rubber bands varying in sizes that have been woven together whilst on a mannequin, each rubber band creates varied tones within the garment. Production time for this took 29 hours.

The first 3 image are own photos . The rest are from Yoox

Location on the street, of New York city combined with the high end of Fashion.
Above Viktor and Rolf, with the over exaggarted styles and text instantly pops in this pic. It gives a thought of this is the dream .

Below the a feel of entrapment being free in the first image yet constrat of being behind as if somethings out of reach.

William Klien

Karl Lagerfeld, Harpars Bizaar 2007

I like this pic due to the use of repetition and scale of largerfeld's black and white portrait being featured within it. A portrayl of a cult as he is the object of such devotion.

Jens Herrndorff

I do like the creative style of these images the contrast of the B+W with the strong additions of colour.
Self taught Jens , was inspired by photgraphers like David Bailey and Guy Bourdin from the 1960/70's. Orginally he photgraphed bands, but has now switched to fashion.
He's a fan of the 80's too and artwork by Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.

125 Mag!

Images from 125

These images are from 125 magazine, Mark found these whilst flicking through pages.

Simplicitic images yet the compostion, lighting and styling all combine to produce a strong set of images. With the attention to detailing within the styling adding accessories that provoke thought... dog tags... a symbol of identity, which has been created in this image. The fro and gigs all contribute to the look breaking the mould of normal menswear of the basic sterotypical suit that is usually associated with business etc.

iT's A wRaP

Today we did our shoot... Hooray!
Our Group consisting of myself, Terri And Mark. Last week we meet and discussed ideas and thoughts of what we wanted to do. Mark suggested a model and we gladly excepted as we all agreed he fitted what we were looking for. So after our convo me and Terri went to Manny shopping for our garments, and indeed we had great luck. As we were on the same wave length of what we want to do styling wise. We got the bits and bobs and then borrowed the rest. Overall i think the shoot was great and we created a variety of images that we were all pleased with.

Simon Foxton

I Didn't really no much about foxton but after seeing his work yesterday in a lecture it seemed to have some relation off what myself, Terri a fellow freind (me stylist pal) and our new friend mark (our photographer) had been thinking.

He says
"I'm not interested in fashion particularly,"
He basically does what he feels is right at the moment for concept behind the images, not following the in season trends.

Images and quotes from the independent.

"I do a lot of visual research and keep a lot of scrapbooks. I keep bits from National Geographic, from fashion shoots and ad campaigns, even pornography."
