Fashion Symposium 2012

The great things that come along with being a fashion student.

 My friend Daisy & I

Doesn't matter what school or city your in being a fashion student is no joke. From all the hard work comes lovely rewards, from a nice grade to a runway show. This past weekend I attended this years Fashion Symposium, and if you didn't know, this an all fashion student work event, from community colleges in all of southern california. It's a great pleasure to have your hard work displayed from production boards, to garments in the different runway shows. There's also tons of amazing give aways, and a few contest. Oh & a free lunch to make it even better! I found myself deeply inspired by the work, simply because I know I am almost there. I am that much closer to being capable of creating my artwork at this level. To me this show is  so unique because almost each piece is from a different designer and each designer is a student. I appreciate the time put into each garment that all from one mind, from the creativity to the labor. The vision, concept, design & sewing  is all one independent person, I admire that so much. It's one of the greatest things in the world to study what you love.

Belle N. Matisse F/W Installation

Some of the artwork found throughout the Ace Gallery before reaching the Installations   

And if you didn't notice the black and white color theme for this F/W was found throughout the gallery! So this is the first time I've ever came across the name Belle N. Matisse and I won't be forgetting it! These garments are so lovely, I found myself fascinated with the sophisticated yet edgy look. These unique geometric silhouettes are a must have! I'm loving the structure of every piece. Each garment has a focal point which allows every piece to stand out in it's own way while maintaining harmony with the rest, because of the emphasis created by the patch of black on the button up and the focal point created by silhouette of the geometric pants, I fell in love with the look (Third model from the left)! Now I love the black splat on the floor, it just about creates this illusion of an exaggerated shadow of the models,  it also allows the installation to unite with concept of the collection & the garments unique silhouettes... keeping it simple but loud at the same time. I guess we all have an idea of the colors or well not so much color we'll be seeing this Fall! Can't wait for next seasons installations!
