Evaluation

When I first saw the brief for the fashion project I was unsure of how I was going to approach it as fashion wasn't one of my strongest points.  So I started my research by finding information on 50 Fashion photographers and doing a timeline of fashion photography. This was a turning point for me as it showed me that fashion photography doesn't mean just being in a studio,


The big turning point was when I saw the work of Baron de Meyer. I saw how he used outside locations and back lighting this was something that appealed to me. This lead me to experimenting with contre jour and shallow depth of field.

I have also learnt that world events have a huge effect on how fashion is shaped and changed. For example the war and the shortage of fabric.

From this Fashion project I have learnt that collaboration's with other artist such as make up, models, assistants and designer is important in the fashion industry.

Coco Chanel

 "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."  (Coco Chanel)




Coco Chanel (1883-1971) is one of the most famous fashion designer, and her work changed women's fashion.





She introduced simple, elegant, relaxed, and functional clothes that express the aspirations of women in the Twentieth Century. She borrowed ideas from men's clothes and created clothes for modern women. 




This shows how world events can influence fashion.
