The five fashion images I have chosen below represent my sense of style and what I find aesthetically pleasing.

They are the colours and textures that I find both nice and pleasant to look at and to wear.
I am interested in clothing that are “feminine” and effortless but still turns heads.

My favourite fabrics are silk/satin and velvet, with favourite colours being burgundy and pink. Silk is expensive and difficult to make; with one thread of silk requiring thousands of silk worms.

This difficulty in production is a contrast to the effortless and light feeling when worn.
For example, a simple silk slip dress is just “slipped” on yet it looks luxurious and sexy.

Burgundy can be seen as the more mysterious cousin of red – both bold and seductive yet red is more “free of doubt”, whereas burgundy has a more alluring sense to it.

Pink is flirtatious, fun and soft; mixed with a silk/satin or velvet fabric brings forth these themes because of how nice it feels on the skin and how it can drape upon the body, allowing the wearer to achieve an effortless sense of style; though giving off this idea of easy and simple, cannot be achieved by anyone.

This certain aesthetic and theme will definitely be explored further with my future projects in the semester, because I want to experiment with fashion films that give viewers senses of sentimental, romantic, nostalgic emotions. Hard to put down into words but these are the kind of feelings I get when I see or wear clothes that resemble those in the images presented. With the right song and directing, I think I can successfully turn my thoughts into visuals.

As said in my previous blog post, what I want to get out of this semester is to be able to finally give myself a chance to explore the ideas and interests I have had with fashion films, and turn them into actual work.
I want to make musical fashion films that act as both a short film showcasing the clothes I like, and also the songs I like. Both will go hand-in-hand in expressing the emotions I want the audience to feel and have them be completely engaged in the film, fashion and music even if they had no interest in any of it before.

I want to be much more experimental and playful with my projects in this studio because it is not all the time you get to be creative, whilst being surrounded by creative people who can boost you and inspire you.
