Journey Into TheBy World Lola Osunneye
SPECIFICATION I have decided to work with photography and will be producing fashion outcomes acknowledging the beauty of African Culture. I am Black BriEsh with Nigerian roots and I will be photographing a model dressed in African aFre. Thinking about the theme ‘Journey into the world’, I haven’t been anywhere around the world apart from Nigeria and France and I don’t have any photos taken there for evidence, so the idea of using a Double exposure was brought to mind, so I can then use secondary images of Africa and merge it with the pictures I will be taking which can be interpreted like places the model is thinking or has dreamt of visiEng; a subconscious journey in their mind.

Stella Jean
Stella Jean is a young emerging fashion designer born in Rome with Caribbean origins. She interprets fashion
using African prints which include vibrant colours and brings a sensual elegance. The model usually takes a unique preparaEon technique which includes hours of fiFng, shooEng test tailoring e.t.c. Her impressive design ideas has led to be one of the winners of the contest sponsored by Vogue Italy AltaRoma and 'Who's on Next'. His style reflects his heritage and evokes Creole cultures in which they combine the old and the verve of the new conEnent and the opposites are combined in a conscious femininity of his precious uniqueness. Through the lines of Italian couture cra\smanship, vibraEng the beats of a sensual elegance, alter and aware, ergo, never ostentaEous. Do not look for a common thread in its collecEons, because they are reflecEons of life that draw inspiraEon from the mulE-‐faceted experience, which vary in their natural evoluEon. Since all of us, "One, no one hundred thousand", the fashion is therefore fiFng that creaEve and coherent state of the 'soul that always varies in an effort to remain the same. Stella has the parEcularity of approaching the creaEon of clothing, either directly, bypassing therefore the passage of the design. Marrying well, the thought of Vionnet draped it is essenEal, and, in some way shape,the dress directly on the body, because: ... "the body having three dimensions we can not entrust the paper." CreaEon is an 'experience through touch, smell and noise separately, that eachproduces cloth, and determines between this and his interlocutor exchange unexpected

My Photography
Outcomes My iniEal idea was to photograph myself using self Emer on the camera and edit it relaEng to my arEsts work but a\er discovering the fashion and photography of Stella Jean, I decided to use someone who in fact is not black but of a different race. I didn’t use a white model like Stella Jean does because I wanted to include my idea of the concept and how I would interpret it in a different way. Using a mixed race person to photograph created a beauEful contrast between her skin colour and the vibrant colours of the African dress. The idea was to seem like her journey into the world, embracing the textured dressing from Africa. It was interesEng to see a different race wearing my cultural dressing, she had a good experience and it was like a realisEc literal journey in wearing something in a certain way in which she has never done before.
