Ive accidentally managed to put that im "following" my own blog which looks pretty vain...
Began critical studies today which got me raring to write, this next to pattern cutting was my favourite element of foundation, discussing and learning about art/fashion in context, investigating into deeper concepts and understanding the wider perspective and what influences the art/fashion world is thrilling. The man that took us today was a little pessimistic, he said "this might be boring but you have got to do it" etc but i was like "YES" i love writing and discussing ideas about art, probably as much or more than i like drawing!
i think i am much more inspired by sculpture and modern art than i am by other fashion designers.
At the minute i am a bit obsessed with the Chapman Brothers, i saw Sensation when i was about ten and didnt think alot of it. This summer i have got back into them, paticuarly fascinated with the Zygotic acceleration models, their concepts fascinate me. The idea behind the models is anti-genetically engineering foetuses, its a statement against how the world has become obsessed with perfection and beauty to the point people are willing to risk so much. This leads me into plastic surgery and anorexia etc, which i have looked at quite alot in the past through fine art projects. I think this is also one of the reasons i chose fashion, because in a way i despise the fashion industry, its quite disgusting and there is so much illness and competition.

I really admire Fashion Designers like Hussein Chayalan, Lucy Orta and Leigh Bowery because their ideas are a bit out there, like Leigh bowery lived for performance art, he was art himself and that sort of dedication and individuality is admirable.

The talk today made me want to go and read into philosophers views on the fashion industry. So this is what i am going to do...
