Fashion Capital

So... I've been a poorly girl and as a result missed the Fashion Capital presentations, SO i've decided to do my own. I've given myself MILAN because I've never been there and all i really know is that its in northern Italy. Shame on me...



...Now I know that Milan banned this poster from a French Fashion house for religious reasons...
...It has a poster which has a mechanism inside that measures decibels to see how loud the city is!

All major Italian fashion designers have their main ateliers and shops here: Giorgio Armani, Dolce&Gabbana, Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Kenzo, Krizia, Prada, Valentino, Versace, Vuitton or Zegna.

Fashion District in Italian is "Quadrilatero della moda"

Lectra

The computer version of pattern cutting! Its great. Its crazy, but great. Really like how you can make sure its accurate before you print it out. I'd never heard of it before but I could definitely get used to using it!! Its a lot quicker than i am at drawing out patterns - I suppose thats why its so popular in the industry, for time and quality! Major retailers have been using lectra for 30 years and its constantly evolving in the competitive field of fashion!

STAMPD LA launch party

New footwear brand STAMPD LA had their official opening on the 30th Jan. The walls of the pop up shop in Hollywood were painted by Chris Stamp, in one of the signature graphics of the first season.





This really really caught my eye for the Sportswear V Fashion project because i've been looking into Artist Keith Haring's work. Which looks very similar with the line drawings and bold shapes and colours.
