Project Brief 1– Reflection

The best thing about starting this studio; More Than Fabric is that my satisfaction is fullfilled with coming to learn about the collision of both media and fashion. I’ve had a dilema before I started my media and communication degree… That I was either going to study media or fashion… or anything to do with art. So I am glad, very, very jumpy that I can now incorporate both departments in this one studio. It really is a dream come true, in terms of where I want my life to be headed as well. Fashion can be everywhere we are, from marketting, business and the media. We see clothing shops and immediately relate that to fashion. But also, these products are originated from designs that are from a form of art, which is often portrayed in fashion shows, TV or even films where we see costumes. The obvious example, The Devil Wears Prada, implements the idea that fashion and the media collide in art forms or medium such as film.

We went ahead to the exhibition in the design hub building. There, we listened the panel talked about high risk in fashion media, focusing on documentaries that reflect the new emerging form of communicating fashion; through art films.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From this gallery, I learned that there is more to fashion than just wearable art. Its also the art of functionality and other properties. A fluffy fabric was used as a chair cover while patterns we normally see on clothing fabrics are used as window designs. I want to show that fashion is more than fabric with the artistic fashion films that I will make. I want to help fashion companies, whether it is to market or advertise or simply to just express, to bring to the community the message that there is more to it than wearable fashion. Film can enhance that idea.
