VM Pages

These are my Visual Merchandising pages, they're not completly finished yet! They are my designs/ideas of how a shop window could look with each of my trends being displayed.

'Dark Rebel' Street Style trend shop display

Gothical frame around a smashed Mirror in the background. Manikins on transparent box/stage.

'Timeless Treasures' ethical trend display. Inspired by a luxurious vintage room and wardrobe.

(please ignore shape at very top!)

 This is the window display design of my cultural trend 'Summer of Love'. With the background image of a photo of the crowd at Woodstock 1969 I really love it, in black and white it brings out the other colours to its not too overpowering. Raised platform to try and resemble a stage like the manikins are centre stage.

More trend book stuffs...

For my street style trend i have looked at recent gothic inspired trends - partially fueled by the epic teenage hit that is the film Twilight. I looked out in public to see what people were wearing on the streets and online on lookbook and other sites. I decided that the gothic trend was not ready to die out yet but would develop a much punkier rebellious snappier side so decided to mix them both up!

For my ethical trend I wanted to look into classical feminity, soft pastely colours yet still glamourous diamond, beautiful, Marilyn Monroe like femininity. Instead of designing anything I wanted, i have shown how old items of clothing could be recycled and renewed ethically to produce new styles of clothing and new, fresh outfits :)

For his skirt and jacket I used Kaledo to modify them into looking how they could be recycled and renewed to make an ethical new style.

Trend Book Project

Ok... so we are making a trend forecasting book for our project this term. Ive been researching looking into music, news, worldly issues, current and past trends etc. We need to produce an ethical, ethnic and street style inspired trend for each style.

My first trend ive decided will become big and popular is a woodstock festival kind of image. This is my cultural trend. Festivals are getting more and more popular and a kind of 60's hippy, boho look I can see becoming very popular. Im going to call it 'summer of love' as that took place in the 1960s like Woodstock and the massive hippie culture.

 

This is one of my favourite photos ever!  It is of two hippies standing by a tent at the Woodstock Festival. The words on the tent seems like it somes up what they're thinking and the madness that was this highly popular, crowded festival. Yet theyre so chilled standing looking on at it. It inspired me to design a slouchy vest/ dress for my trend book.. here it is...

I'd love to see it made in real life teamed with Hunter wellies and denim shorts!
