marcelo yarussi
facebook.com/bastardoba
Creator of avant-garde label Bastardo BA, Marcelo Yarussi took this season’s BAFWeek by storm, stealing the highly-anticipated Semillero UBA competition with daring designs and signature pieces. Previously known for his line of functional yet trendy backpacks, Yarussi has branched into the realm of womenswear, integrating symbolic representations of the Virgin Mary from a critical yet optimistic viewpoint, reflecting the small religious town he grew up in.
As his foray into clothing continues, Yarussi plans to develop a collection emphasising drama and impact while maintaining wearability. With emphasis on perfection and precision, the scrupulous, thorough care of his designs is sure to lead the young designer to success among BA’s elite emerging labels.

Victoria is an energetic and open-minded print designer who obsesses over experimental applications and illustrative drawing.

MARIA ZHMINKO A Fashion Design graduate from the London College of Fashion, Maria likes to experiment with the structure of things. Dissecting and re-assembling different elements of objects often inspire her work, and this is evident in the sharp shapes and silhouettes of her designs. A graphic, illustrative edge is apparent across much of Maria’s work and her latest collection explores the idea of merging machine and human with the integration of virtuality into reality. The use of all-black further emphasises the dark intensity of the theme of a dystopian future, reylaying the aesthetic essential to scince fiction.

rebecca morter and GEMMA VANSON
A London based Fashion Designer born in Auckland, New Zealand, Rebecca graduated in BA Fashion Design and Development from the London College of Fashion this July 2013. Drawing on New Zealand’s heritage, the young designer contrasts unusual natural resources with a contemporary design approach. www.rebeccamorter.com Rebecca’s work celebrates the female www.showtime.arts.ac.uk/gemmavanson form, and she is continuously playing with the idea of revealing, but at the same time concealing the body. Gemma, also a London College of Fashion graduate, specialises in product development and fabric exploration through attention to detail. Inspired by Urban Decay and Brutalist Architecture, the young designer values quality, and her latest collection focusing on new younger male consumers aims to evolve and disguise oneself for everyday eventualities.
kill it kid This years show will be headlined by Kill It Kid, who need no introduction! Bringing “an emphatic slice of folk blues Zeppelin would have been proud of”, the band were XFM New Music Award finalists, alongside The XX and Florence + the Machine. They spent their summer developing a new, dirtier, blues inspired sound for the follow up album, ‘Feet Fall Heavy’. Recorded with producer Leo Abrahams it has been described as ‘raw, inelegant and untainted’. Expect a huge performance at the show.

rufio summers
www.rufiosummers.com soundcloud.com/rufio-summers
Distilling the rootsy sensibilities of Jack White and Jimi Hendrix with added hip hop swagger, Rufio is bringing Blues to a modern era without compromising its integrity. The contemporary and soulful singer has taken a timeless genre and injected it with a rock edge that knows no bounds. Rufio headlined at Wireless earlier this year, expect him to blow the roof off!

With comparisons of Dido and Lana Del Ray circulating, she is already making her own impact with her dark cinematic pop.
vince kidd Vince grew up in South London, inspired by singers such as Sam Cooke, Lauren Hill and Terence Trent D’Arby. Beginning by writing songs as a teenager, a chance night out led Vince to a phone call from the King of Pop Michael Jackson! Vince promptly burst into song, with Michael declaring Vince a future star. Spotted by Sony ATV, the young talent has subsequently won huge support from the UK urban scene. After reaching the final of The Voice this year, and under the mentoring of Jessie J, Vince has recently been signed to Island Records.

His first headline tour of the UK last July was a complete sell out, and he has gone on to complete two more successful headline tours to date. A true talent, Vince writes all of his own material, and has been working alongside some of the UK’s hottest talent.

Donating to London night life since 2010, Shivas has been working under Pete Tong’s FFRR Record Label for the last year.

Aphra shezma A Fine Art graduate from Middlesex, Aphra experiments with different mediums to facilitate the connection people have with the world around them. Aphra’s interactive light sculpture, Cosmposition X, uses ultrasonic sensors to draw viewers into the work itself. Using dynamic components that change from dark to light, the work creates a dazzling illusionary effect, turning viewers into active participants.

linda cieniawskwa
www.lindacieniawskwa.blogsport.co.uk
A graduate from the University of Fine Arts in Poland, Linda specialises in photography and video. Inspired by Rene Magritte’s painting, “The Lovers” explores the ties that exist between two people in a relationship. The use of light illuminates the covering veil, symbolising the disclosure of innocence in every relationship, in an attempt to create flexible dialogue and a symbol of many compromsises.
charlotte osborne A recent graduate from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Charlotte produces artwork based on the remnants of experience and ideas. Her “Liminal” series are hand-printed in a darkroom, offering a new perspective on our own fragility and the realisation that mortality is inevitable.

gwenyth fugard
www.gwenythfugard.com
A graduate of Fine Art, Gwenyth uses light and dark to create an illusionary space within the neutrality of the square format. “Fold” employs minimal line and colour to highlight the occurence of accidents and collisions within the system of criteria and boundaries. It is this non-representational work that provokes the viewer to deciper or unravel a code.
Competition
