SUMMARY

By trusting in my journey progression, I have found my missing piece. Researching into John Galliano has transformed my visions for my FMP irrefutably. I am enthralled by his storytelling capabilities, and I desire to emulate such creative narratives within my own work. Alongside Charles Jeffrey, I appreciate how he looks towards past historical references to emphasise stories, and this is something I am keen to grasp onto when establishing my own concept.

When taking him forward into my FMP, I want to consider his background of 80’s New Romanticism, as this is a strong link between himself and Charles Jeffrey. Alongside the 70’s Punk, this cohort inhabits the defiant personality I wish to portray in my end outcomes, and I believe I can amalgamate these eras, just like John Galliano does within his.

Both Galliano and Jeffrey produce a “beauty in the unexpected” which I so highly admire. I often put myself down because of the difference in my production outcomes, due to their dissimilarity to those around me. However, my extensive research into these designers have led me to appreciate what I produce and the uniqueness they possess, pushing me to go into my finalisation stages wanting to excel my creative margins and embark a strong storytelling.
