... I want to say a BIG thanks to Hannah Duncan who allowed us to use her fab design for our uni fashion shoot and for coming along to support us and give us ideas. What a fab day we had getting the chance to organise a real life fashion shoot for a magazine were creating through uni as part of our coursework. although most of us were full of the cold and shivering due to aberdeens finest autumn weather we still had fun. once our fab photographers are finished with our pics i will pop them up for everyone to see if im not tooo embarrassed since i was the one to model for them... cringe! We spent the morning posing at the ruins on the edge of torry near the harbour and off cliffs at the edge of aberdeen. it was a interesting day but i dont think i will become a famous model anytime soon.. not with my posing skills anyway haha! :-(
Hannah used her talent to create these designs for her 4th year finals at Grays School of Art and below is the interesting story of what the inspiration behind her collection is...
"Flower Sellers” is a collection which encompasses the delicate idea of childhood. It explores the conception of the romantic child portrayed by historical artists during Victorian Britain. The designer questions childhood as a period of innocence and also the idea of youth becoming trapped within a world beyond its control and understanding. Sharp silhouettes capture the essence of Victorian attire while the delicate use of embellishment such as pearls, beads, ruffles and lace findings highlight innocence and vulnerability. The use of vintage and found fabrics shout sustainability, which bring a modern interpretation and new life to unwanted fabrics, whether it be a baroque set of curtains turned into a blazer, frayed organza creating blurry edge softness in capes and shorts or an unloved lace table cloth that has acquired new meaning as a draped jumper. The collection evokes modern elegance where the most fashionable items have never been so close to home...
