Surrealist Shirts

Once again we're shooting our surrealist shirts, but this time for our magazine. Rosalind modeled for us again, she looked amazing in our Urban shoot.

SLEAZENATION

We had a lecture a few weeks ago from Hwyle Davies from Central St. Martins. He used to work for a magazine called 'SLEAZENATION', and I thought it sounded quite interesting as it was quite outrageous, taking the mic out of Fashion and making political statements. The magazine has stopped publishing, so I thought I would never get a copy, but I went on eBay and managed to get four different issues for about £10. The pictures below are for an editorial called 'All things Bright and Beautiful' and each image has a verse of the song as a caption. It is a good juxtaposition as the models are holding weapons and the song is a religious message about loving everything in the world.

All Things bright and beautiful.

All Creatures Great And Small

All Things Wise And Wonderful

The Lord God Made Them All

Each Little Flower That Opens

Exposure

Today we shot our cover for our magazine. We decided on the name EXPOSURE, as it has connotations of photography and revealing something. Wozza modeled for us, she did a great job, think the images look quite I-Dish.

I really like the ones with the kiss on the hand, since I-D has a signature wink, ours could be with a signature Kiss mark.

Photography

Surrealist Skirts photoshoot

We were asked take photos of our surreal skirts to show the Museum in Edinburgh where we had got our inspiration. Me and Megan took pictures for each other, we found a nice field up in the hills of Galashiels, where a confused local drove past, and ended up stopping saying 'she had never seen anything like this'.


Megan's photos are on her blog http://iammeggy.blogspot.com/ have a look.

We were asked to show our surrealist skirts in a catwalk, which ended up being thrown together last minute. However I think it turned out not to bad considering. My skirt had tubes all the way round which would not stay open when I walked, so I ended up having to stuff them with whatever I could find (mainly other peoples scarfs).

1960's

For our CCS Class (contemporary contextual studies) we were split up into groups to do presentations, we were each assigned a different decade to research. I was so relieved to find that we had been assigned the swinging 60's, one of the more exciting and fashion forward eras. I've been given woman's fashion to research, and my Auntie Linda helped out by sending some of her photo's from the 60's

My Auntie Linda with one of her friends, Grace, they both have short hemlines, which were brought about by Mary Quant, who invented the Mini.

Cooking spaghetti with her Mum, wearing white Go-Go boots, the term ''go'' meant ''all the rage'' they became popular in the 60's and remained that way into the 70's.
