FASHION MOVEMENT

1920s MOVEMENT

For my fashion movement choice, I chose the era of the 1920s, the 'flapper, jazz and attitude' era.
It is an iconic symbol of the fashion industry as it was the evolution of the 'flapper girl'. The 'flapper girl' embraced popularity and had a 'modern' approach to life in that decade. More commonly now referred to as the 'Gatsby' era, I only became obsessed with this decade's fashion and lifestyle after Baz Luhrmann's creation. Since then I have used any excuse to mention and feature this movement.

I created a mood board which I feel embodied that decade.

My 1920s Representation

I chose to do a grid approach, in my own style, as I found this composition incorporate with this decade well.
Since only starting to ever create my first mood boards during the last module I found the process gains you more inspiration into creativity. I also found that I have improved on which image goes well with each other and use my photoshop skills to create a professional image.


Until next time!

NEW YORK. DAY 6

DAY SIX.

I found some WiFi at the airport so, keeping you guys up to date of our last day. After checking out we decided to do some last minute shopping and also have authentic New York pancakes! We went to a quaint diner, I had pancakes with bacon and coffee, what I am seriously going to miss American coffee, it was a delicious breakfast!

We had to come back to the hotel at 15:00pm which sadly went too quick.
New York has been such an incredible experience which I find everybody has to do! Their customs and life is so different yet amazing. These past few days have gone so quick and it makes it harder to go and leave NYC but, I will be back!

Before ending this post I wanted to mention the visual merchandising I saw around New York, as part of our tasks when we arrived, in all fairness I was not overly impressed. Most window displays seemed to be repetitive of previous seasons and did not stand out to me and some windows were being dressed, Louis Vuitton, Tiffanys & Co (though we were just in time to see their christmas). We were lucky enough to see Bergdorf Goodman before they took them down.

New York has been such a pleasure and I have learnt many things!

NEW YORK. DAY 5

DAY FIVE.

Our last full day in New York! So upsetting. We decided to go to The MET, no not The METS, and it was amazing! So many floors and galleries you could spend a whole day wondering around. We visited two exhibitions, we saw the 'History of the Kimono' and Anna Wintour's 'Mourning Attire' exhibition.

After the MET we walked down along Madison Avenue, we popped into some of the boutiques and noticed the seasonal changing visual merchandising, some windows were currently blank where some still had their christmas models and design.

We visited Grand Central Station and after been told by my sister, since her last visit to New York to try 'the best red velvet cupcake ever' we took a trip to Juniors and it was the best experience and idea ever. No other cupcake can compare.

On our way back from Grand Central, we decided to have a pit stop in the Public Library and seen the Public Sharing exhibition. It was an intuitive exhibition, we learnt how photographers from the 18th and 19th century distributed their artworks before technology became and how during this present time how social media has made a change in photo sharing, we were really glad we went to this exhibition.

To end off a great week in New York, we had dinner at Ellen's Singing Diner at this moment my battery died so I couldn't capture any pictures but there was never a drag moment and we all had an enjoyable experience!

I am currently now induced in a food coma and still have a lot to pack for tomorrow's 12pm checkout. 

Until next time!

NEW YORK. DAY 4

DAY FOUR.

We travelled to Brooklyn today by boat. The views of New York across the pier was beautiful the pictures did not do it justice!

We had a lovely and sombre day in Brooklyn, we didn't know it had so many vintage and unique shops. It was a different environment to Manhattan, the people were more approachable and it was a more calming atmosphere, they even related to us when we were speaking about the drastic cold weather yesterday!

Cute bookshop

I admired Brooklyn's street art, each piece was unique and inspirational. Perhaps my favourite part of Brooklyn. 

After countless attempts to find Brooklyn museum to see the 'Killer Heels' exhibition we failed. So, we decided to visit Central Park and also explored Macy's and did some shopping too. Central Park was breath taking and so peaceful, it definitely felt like I was transformed into 'You've Got Mail'.

2014-STYLE AWARDS

JAMIE CHUNG

I began to follow Jamie Chung on Instagram, as I saw some of her images appear on the 'popular' page of Instagram and from there began to follow her blog. I particularly liked her OOTD uploads as not only does she give details where he outfits are from, she also reviews them.

I admire the contrast in her style, how she differs from edgy to chic to casual. Here I have selected a few of my favourite looks.
