Welcome to term two art portfolio

In this term I would like to explore new formats and techniques to create my fashion portfolio. I wanted to do more research about different fabrics and try to use it in an unusual way. I would like to create a fashion collection based on the theme outer space. I am interested in the mysterious dimension that scientists never fully discover. I may also be visiting the space museum in Leicester to do some extension research and getting new inspiration.

Over the break, I rewatched Star Wars. I really love the unique spacecraft and how they traveled to an unknown alien world. I also visited the space museum in Hong Kong, so that i can take some images and inspiration. I would also like to create a fashion collection this term based on the theme outer space, since there is a lot of mystery and unknown surrounding this theme.

Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty, photographed for French Vogue in 1998 by Duane Michals. https://maxestrella.com/app/uploads/2020/10/heisenbergentero.jpg French Vogue contacted Michals one day in 1999 to ask if he could illustrate a piece on quantum physics for a special scientific edition of the magazine. Surprisingly, the subject turned out to be one of Michals' focus, as he was able to recite the names of subatomic particles. Michals bought a convex mirror in an antique store in Bath and bought it back to the US. He believed that he can use such a mirror to illustrate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. He shot a set of six images in which the model was holding the huge mirror and showing different reflections of herself. He named the series of shots Dr Heisenberg’s Magic Mirror of Uncertainty. Different angles cause different changes in the appearance of the model. Even a tiny movement significantly altered how the model looked. Her eyes were sometimes enla...

Peter Pilotto: Fashion Sea Collection Research

Image
I am looking at the Peter Pilotto 2012 spring collection for my fashion project. Peter Pilotto is a brand established in 2007 by Peter Piotto and Christopher  De Vos.  Their Spring 2012 undersea collection was inspired by their trip to Indonesia. Look 1: The outfit shows the theme of the underwater world by using sharp and slim waistline cutting. The fish scale-like pattern makes the model looks like a mermaid. The pencil skirt fits tightly to the body and looks like the tale of a mermaid. The cutting of the outfit looks like a fish and uses colours related to the underwater theme. The outfit looks eye-catching because the colour combination of the blue, purple and white colour gives the fish scales a textured look, which looks like they shimmer in the sun. The whole outfit looks sporty, the sleeveless top and the zipper in the middle of the top make it looks like a swimsuit. The design of the high heels have a dark blue colour scheme and with three crystal in the mi...
