So here I am and this is?

So this Blog is a stage for me to admire and share some work from other people i like and to hopefully be admired for myself. (Hopefully!)



I am in my final year of a Ba Course in Film and Moving Image production in which i have specialised in ProductionDesign; Building Sets, Costume, Making and sourcing Props and all the things in between. Being a Blog addict some of the blogs i have read on the internet have inspired me so i thought it was about time i myself started a blog. I'm all new to this but hopefully I'll get it right. It's a space for me to share the things that I like and hopefully show off some of my own work. From architecture, to fashion, film, music and all sorts here it will be. Wonderful.

So first, I came across the amazing Viktor & Rolf collection, spring 2010(above) which is simply amazing.
Cutaway, Literally! Personally it reminds me off the Cutaways seen in the Art Deco architecture movement, like the Chrysler Building on a skirt (especially bottom right with it's stepped detail). All mathematical an geometrical shapes but still so decorative and just fun. My favourite of the above are either of the middle two, top and bottom. The colour pallet reminds me of a 1930's ice cream parlour, the soft pastels work so well with the rough jaunt edges. It's just so, good! Its totally not ready to wear but who cares, I love a gimmik!



In keeping with the art deco/1940's theme i am loving the Film 'Brazil' (1985) Directed by Terry Gilliam and production design by Norman Garwood. We watched part of it in a lecture and i was hooked! I love how it is set in the future but the design is highly influenced by the past. It has a real 'retro-futurism' quality to it, and is almost like a 1940's film noir design. It is also reminiscent of Fritz Lang' Metropolis', 1927 (again another film we looked at for design). The sets are just fabulous, i love design of the Ministry of Information Building and the thought that has gone in to all the every day objects like the television etc is just so good! It is what i imagine people of the 1940's imagined the 1980's to look like.
