It will show the underlying message of “bringing the ‘truth’ forward” and displaying the unexpected. Elements of it will have a positive connotation and will bring forward a bright side. While some other elements will put forward the darkness in the visitor and the choices they have made during this exposition.

PUBLICATION

FASHION PUBLICATION To produce a fashion and style related publication.

Research development.

FASHION PUBLICATION The publication DNA is texture, transformation and instinct. It will reveal imaginative photography within the evolution of Human Animals VS. Animalised Humans.

FASHION PUBLICATION Double page spread from the DNA publication.

Strained to tremble by her breath - her body.

From her spirit, to her eternal soul.

The spiritual part is believed to give life to a body.

Thought to live forever. Wrapping a casing around our inner self. Keeping body and soul together.

Shifting the immaterial essence.

S P I R I T -

SOUL

Our emotional nature connects the recesses of our heart.

Leading the vitality of our life as a spiritual being, into our secret quintessence self.

Letting the sentient life flow away.

A strong basis is needed, light yet strong.

Hard yet fragile, coexisting with life.

Structure Pillar Frame Flat

“ FASHION PUBLICATION Excerpt from DNA publication.

I want to forever be in the dark, chasing the moon to light up my life, like fireworks.

Shining, diffusing beams, that grow and glow during the night but sometimes disguising has its perks.

True identities cannot always be revealed as putting up a façade can hide what is truly within, something that needs to stay concealed.

Many hidden portrayals of secrets and emotions which will not be displayed upon its reflection.

The unknown is what makes us unique with much more left to its projection.

FASHION PUBLICATION The publication specks are as followed: alligator skin, two metal bolts, silk gloves and produced on B-Ledger (USA paper size).

Image displayed is done through the use of UV Make-Up and black-lights.

Lighting is all natural

ATHLETIC BEAUTY

PROJECT RESEARCH Produce a challenging fashion communication concept and put together a written report to support and develop your ideas.

“

“Over the last 100 years, the image of the physically strong, confident, muscular woman has been the object of derision, fascination, and erotic fantasy; she is often portrayed, in both photography and illustration, as a sexy dominatrix, sexless mannequin, or sideshow freak” (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2011).

“

“

Every sport sculpts an athletes physique in a defined and particular manner. When taking up a sport, your body will mould to the new shape it requires. Achieving strong legs, sturdy shoulders are often measured as an athlete’s reward.

Seldom taking into account the conventional conceptions of female beauty. “These women represent a strapping feminine ideal found in the pages of Marvel coming books, those lovingly drawn heroines with their bulging muscles and accentuated hips and breasts” (Vogue, The Athletic Aesthetic, 1995).

“

PROJECT RESEARCH Excerpts from essay.

“

“Strong women challenge the conventional notions about beauty and convey a contemporary look and attitude. As our culture continues to change and adapt, female athletes need to harness and embody changing ideals.”

(Schonberger J, On The Issues Magazine, 2012).

“Enjoy both worlds.

Don’t be afraid to double play”.

Luxury

Luxury This campaign endorsed by Lululemon Atletica, will act as an investigation into the best ways of promoting both fitness aesthetics and luxury together. The slogan of this campaign “Enjoy both worlds, don’t be afraid to double play” reflects todays opinions about being either athletic or fashionable and there being a drawback to do both. Atma Elegance will aim to educate women visually and highlight that muscular women can belong in the luxury industry.

Ministering to luxury, there is a generic image of the female client and their overall appearance.

Presenting a lissom, slender and exceptionally opulent woman.

Luxury means different things to various people and can be defined by key words: elegance, happiness, wealth, travel, education and wellbeing.
