Melon: At the end of every University year the Fashion Design course has a Graduate Fashion Show in the Riverfront Theatre. (I know this as I was on the course for three years, and was in the show myself last year.) The show was once again a success and some of the designs were amazing, some beautiful and some commercial... I have collected some images of my favourite designs and collections. Except one, which I couldn't find any suitable photos for and that was:
(If I find any images to show this collection I will add them at a later date.)
The other collections and designs were:
Hannah Cooper: VISIONARY - Structural Shapes, powerful sexuality, tough luxe with an edge of sophistication. Clothes that show contemporary realism for the intoxicatingly cool. Creating a second skin, an extension of oneself in a relaxed form of glamour. Inspired by visionary imagination.
Amanda Bishop: Rebellion - A rebellious womenswear collection inspired by British ceremonial military uniform; focusing on masculine structure, untraditional style lines, cut and feminine detail, a collection of flamboyant tailored jackets and coats.
First Year Collection: Every year they have a large selection of the first and second year designs entering the stage together, the following design was in the first year section. I love the design of the coat.
Franky Hesketh: Drop Dead Gorgeous - A sense of drama production and performance... embracing the female form of femininity seductively devine and elegantly with dark intimidating undertones of vampire inspired lavish couture.
Emily McCarthy: Traje de Luz - Costumes of light - A contemporary Spanish inspired collection drawing on heritage and personal passion for this heavenly, cultural country. Simplistic silhouettes have been entwined with rich bold beautiful fabrics fusing technology with tradition innovating light technology and beautiful surface decoration is combined on the catwalk.
Rachel Higgins: Iridescence - Collection inspired by the Pembrokeshire seashore - shell shapes, clams on rocks and the way nature has shaped the shoreline. Draping... beadwork... hand embellishment. Silhouettes inspired by icon Grace Kelly and her flirtatious hourglass feminine silhouettes.
Anne-Marie Hodder: 1950's Edge - A collection inspired by the classic 1950s with a modern, eclectic twist. The collection brings a very retro feel but with contemporary construction methods; Combining alternative fashion design and unconventional ideology.
Claire Andrew: Tomorrow is now - Act now, grasp life, and appreciate the world around you! Nature and contrast continually inspire. Clouds, landscapes, cityscape's and dragonflies captured the imagination. Textiles, textures and surfaces inspired by nature are combined to create organic contemporary silhouettes. Visual dynamic photographic prints set the scene for this breathtaking fashion collection.
Melon: Collections: 9/10 (there were some really amazing collections, but some just missed the mark)
Overall experience: 8/10 (I loved the show, but the small TV screens were hard to see and they were different colours.)
Atori: Collections: 6/10 - I didn't really like too many of the collections. Except a pair of polka dot, 50's shorts.
Overall Experience: 7/10 - Because I missed half the show because some mans big head was in the way. haha.
