TEPHRA DIFFUSION COLLECTION
The formation collection is a work wear based collection influencing the process of erosion though lava flow. Lavas is molten rock expelled by a volcano, the rock is formed and can reform the land. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes which removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location, this includes glaciation. Through the natural movement of earth and erosion I found myself looking at the female body, looking at shape, form and natural curvature of the body, from this I wanted to show off the female form without being provocative and still being traditional and appropriate work wear attire. The silhouette has a male dominant influence, whilst trying to keep it feminine and light yet work appropriate. In this proposal, I will be talking about a key collection which has a key view point of retro futurism from the 1960’s and memory looking at moving forward before looking back. This collection will be seen as volumized dressing with a sense of fluidity and sharp structure for spring summer 18 casual work wear in which will be taken forward to a contemporary outlook on traditional tailoring in office. This ranges from the exhibition states of time by Damien Ortega which focuses on the force of nature and the natural movement. Round values are added with a strong wgsn trend and involving the previously visited exhibition with simple forms becomes more circular and rounded for a softer take on clinical volume and minimalist style. This collection is all about bringing the forgotten concepts forward. With the brain connections of landscapes and formations of natural movement gives the effects of shaping and formation of the body taking on traditional craftsmanship fusing with innovative design in down to earth styling and editing creating rustic minimalism that is both timeless and futuristic, helping to portray your own personal character and have your choice of first impressions. The collection is all about luxurious simplicity driven by focus and shape, texture and proportion. Everyday items are carefully edited to their essential form and function, freed from distraction to focus on what is important. Shapes and materials are finely tuned for the perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and partial simplicity. The minimalist silhouettes are infused with a maximalist attitude with sumptuous textiles for refined luxury for a cheaper alternateIve collection. Feminine shapes with masculine shirt finishes, a line silhouettes to focus on the waist with long lengths tabard style splits and utility pockets creating the style and feel of this collection formation with a hint of power dressing. Power dressing has developed in the 1970s it is a fashion style that established women’s authority. The concept of power dressing was brought to popularity by dress for success (1975), which suggests a gender specific professional dress code. The current study focuses on female clothing styles, as both genders have formerly been analysed, either could have been approached, however, as A diffusion felt that thisIs gave a wider range and larger selection of clothing for men.

Kinship and an empty state of mind was a key influence on this collection “solidarity”. This collection is based on the solidarity of Scotland and how we can stand together and fight as a group. Solidarity is unity which produces or is based on unities of interests, objectives, standards, and sympathies. It refers to the ties in a society that bind people together, as one. The term is generally employed in sociology and other social sciences as well as in philosophy. Solidarity varies between societies. In simple societies it may be based on kinship and shared values. In more complex societies there are various theories as to what contributes to a sense of social solidarity. Scotland’s socialist movement is a pro-independence socialist fighting for a fairer society for all. This collection is an anti-austerity, who says we need defiance and not compliance, when it comes to implementing tory cuts. We are against the punishment of the poor, for the mistakes of the rich. Austerity is an ideological attack on the poor and vulnerable in our society and while big businesses are raking in profits, people are going to food banks to survive. We say no more attacks on the poor. Stop benefit sanctions and get rid of the completely unfair work capability assessment. This collection will be a lux collection with the maximum minimum fabric showing the controversy of both sides of the argument from rich to poor and the unity of a country. This collection “solidarity” will feature strong tailoring and emphasised shapes with firm fabric selections from a colour palette kinship a WGNS trend helping to unite this collection. Kinship is about cultures and collectives, both real and virtual that forges an increased sense of a community. As humans we long to belong and seek constant multiple connections, our connection is our land and home, these can be global, local, analogue and digital. We look at our physical and national identities with new eyes and increasingly seek to blend borders and break boundaries. This will help to develop new fresh perspectives which will also help to create the “solidarity” collection on my home town Glasgow. Our globalised world is creating new thirst for exploration and culture sharing, why can’t we? With diverse references of design from other lands, culture and styling, this is a pioneer for direction, taking silhouettes of Glasgow making pints and innovative textures, translating into relaxed shapes, nautical colours and textures becoming richer and more dramatic for the “solidarity” collection.
