Under the Microscope
Directed by Somruethai Bunprasert
Film by Somruethai Bunprasert and Charkrit Hatchard
For my Under the Microscope video was completely chan
ged from my story board as I have experimented some the equipment to be use within my fashion but unfortunately the outcome turned to be different from what I want out of it. I have used a projector to project my prints throughout the video but for the first part I have the movement of balloons flawing. This was done by throwing the balloons in.  I have changed the colour of the video in Window Media Player to make it more mystery and interesting. Then I have to ask my friend to record myself to doing some movement which turned out to be a very interesting look. Overall, I think the video was in perfect length and simple.
Made in Britain Fashion Video
Film and Directed by Somruethai Bunprasert
Two friends who have found themselves in a place mysteriously, in a different century, is it the future? We don’t know but they have turned into some sort of weird looking. This happened after they watched the recorded found from when they was making their way back. They felt like someone is watching them, trying to find their way back home. Will they find the answer?
For my fashion video I have used different techniques such as camera’s angles, concentration and unique style which was the inspiration from my research looking at designer’s work and other research which I have found from Pinterest and Tumblr. I have created a concept board and story board to follow for each scene this allow me to be more professional and well organise. I have visited locations, casting models for any changes from using both indoor and outdoor locations.
For the smoke bomb scene I have to change the way it supposed to shown in the video as the location was close to houses, dangerous and hard to light up. I have recorded different shots for each scene to recreate them using Window Movie Maker. The purpose and inspiration of the video and its story line was to present my final jacket, being flexible, comfortable for all movements, playful, manly and as well as being useful for its detachable details.
Overall, I have gained the knowledge of using camera, being professional and well organised as well as media knowledge being able to use IMovie and Window Media Player. If I have time to make any changes I would keep this as It is my first fashion video which I could look back on to but I would experiment using different style /and objects.







Aitor Throup
The funeral of New Orleans (Part 1)
Film by Jez Tozer and Aitor Throup
From Watching his fashion videos/concept videos I choose to look at his 2008 fashion video that was presented at London fashion week along with his Autumn/Winter 2008 Collection. I found that it is easy to understand depth into the story of his fashion video between his influences and his collection, even the name for his collection. “The Funeral of New Orleans” is well reminded of black with the style and inspiration that is well presented of cultural and musical heritage. Throughout watching the video I did not feel like I am watching a fashion video I felt more of looking at a still live presentation without a depth description but through movements of video imagery. The music chosen is clearly presenting his inspiration and the movements with the feeling of being calm but mysterious with the modernised feeling. The setting for this video is an indoor style, giving the empty feeling of nothing but just the garments. From watching the video at the start I felt like the garment were giving the vintage feeling of the suite look then changed into modern feels as the garment transformed. Although, the colour range throughout his video were much simpler than other fashion videos which I could say ‘men in black’, giving the feeling of dullness but cut off with the gold instruments. I think the style he have used throughout his video is clearly presenting his inspiration of transforming shapes of the protector from the instruments that are the trumpets, the saxophone, the trombone and the sousaphone. I like the reflection and the stiffness look of the mannequin that is also plain and in dark tone as the movements were just the transformation of fabrics pieces. The video were using the mixture of slow and fast speed movement of imagery as well as still image of writings.
Overall, throughout watching the video I really like the idea of the 3 dimensional transformation, detachable pieces of the shoulder and the neckline of the jacket which could turned in the protection for the instruments. I could use the idea of the speed, movements and style of the video imagery.

Punk
Theme by Marcos Mello.

Using Punk’s central themes of dressing to provoke, DIY and self-expression'Punk was one of the most culturally important and far reaching movements in the last 100 years. Its influence is repeatedly seen every fashion season,’ explains Nick Knight”

I think this video has involved with the mixture of movements as in still, fast and slow motions. These movements showing its direction from different direction, at the very beginning of the video it was the sparkle of the flawing of movements around the body which then turned into garments and style showing their punk theme. It has changed from the surrounding movements into body movements. I like the ideal of having the fading part on this video I think it was created by filming a lot of different positions of movements and put them together, making the position faded into another which I found it very animated and unrealistic. I also like the ideal of having one piece that I have looked at in my research showing its structure like a wheel that was shown in this video, I found it random and imaginative.

Credits to Phillip Treacy


Director: Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben


Stylist: Katy England




"On 16 September 2012 Philip Treacy made an explosive return to London Fashion Week with a star-studded Swarovski-sponsored show featuring a line-up of all black models. Acclaimed stylist Katy England chose to dress the girls in key pieces from Michael Jackson’s iconic stage wardrobe, which complimented the incredible, gravity-defying headwear on display. The show - which kicked off with a surprise turn on the catwalk by Lady Gaga - aimed to capture the energy and confidence of some of Treacy’s most committed shoppers. ‘I love African girls, and I love Michael Jackson - he’s the ultimate African-American entertainer,’ Treacy told WWD. ‘The show was also based loosely on the contrast between white women who come into my shop, try on a hat, and then look at me for reassurance - and black women. They’ll put on a hat and think, ‘I look great!’ They have a different sense of exuberance, an inner exuberance.’ In celebration of the fierce attitudes and fabulous fashion on show at the event, Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben collaborate on Hatstand, an energizing film featuring model Grace Bol




This indoor video is giving the feeling of a modern mixture with 80’s style, the story is quite straight forward I like the way they used dance movement, it is very playful. The music of using drums, sort of African style I can actually feel and see the inspiration of their collection. I think the costumes used are very cultural to match the head wear the models were wearing, some look pretty much like carnival costumes. The colour were a mixture of bright and dull with the effect of dark just the light from the camera giving the view of mystery at the same time. Overall I think the video is telling the inspiration of culture, carnival or some sort of festival inspiration.

A3 Illustration and Final Evalution

My A3 illustration for my portfolio

From researching depth into British clothing and Menswear history, looking trends from different sources such as vintage, street style and contemporary designers I have used my inspiration from all those sources to created my design ideas which are all reflected well. As I have many different designs that I like I have chosen the best 13 designs to look at and used for my line up and have created technical drawing for all of those designs this has leads me to choose my final design to go through to my pattern cutting and manufacturing lessons. I think my final design chosen is representing my chosen theme of Car Racing well and reflected my research of vintage clothing using cape style, as well as the colour chosen are an up coming trend for AW14/15. The ideal of choosing and looking at fabrics to use for my jacket was quite a hard decision for me as there were less of natural materials that I could easily looked at in the fabric store but I have also looked at stuff like Harris Tweed, wool, cotton as well as sports fabric which I think I will be looking at using some sort of thick cotton, wool for my jacket and sports fabric for my lining.

Throughout Made In Britain assignment I have creatively used a combination techniques such as hand drawing, painting, collaging and digital (Photoshop) from looking and using inspiration I have looked at on my Pinterest page. After choosing my final design I then moved on to research in men's bags which is an accessory that I will create to go along with my jacket. I have researched and look depth into different sources of bags and ideas to create my final design. After created my final design and created samples I have made my final bag but I have change few details on my bag as there were less time for me.

I think If I have more time to change anything within this assignment I would only change my final of my bag by spending more time them and use more techniques as well as creating my final illustration in A3 for my portfolio  using more techniques and more details which I will bring my creativeity through to create my final illustration on an A2.

Final Swing Tag and Label For My Garments

Final for my tags and label on my garment.

For my collection I have also been researching at looking at tags and labels as part of this assignment which I will be making and using on my garments. I have been looking different sources such as designers, brands and related objects as well as materials used. For the colour I will be using the same concept as I used for my final designs collection.

I have been researching depth into different types of bags, materials and style for men on run way and independant work available more on my Pinterest via http://www.pinterest.com/SomruethaiB/made-in-britain-secondary-research/

After created a prototype for my final I have measure on the size, width and length to create patterns to cut out the fabrics.



Images of patterns, fully detailed in my portfolio
After creating my patterns I then go through the manufacture process cutting my fabrics following the information on my patterns on both for both of my leather lining.

I have used the industrial machine throughout my sewing process.

Here are the image of my finished I have changed my bag fastening and the front pocket detail as the was limited. I have decided to create the bag open with just one magnet buttons over the top and weave the front patch pocket instead of using laser cutting. From the changes I have made I quite like the style it has turned out to be but I think if I could changed I would creatively used more techniques and make sure that my work much neater and fitted more into high ends. After all I think my final bag design look quite sporty, I think the handle material type I have used are fitted well and give the bag much more of a sport look.
