LFWM -Tourne De Transmission

                                --  THE LIES THAT BIND --



This show was very special for me. It was all because for the first time I have attended such an inspiring show in London. Beyond that, the philosophy behind the collection has inspired me as a graduate student of philosophy. It showed me how I can harmonize philosophy and fashion with which I am in love both. The designer touched on very important realities that we take for granted and accept without any questioning.





Do we really make our own decisions freely? We are supposedly "modern people" and we think that we are living in a free world; there is no obstacle and restriction that can prevent us unlike the hindrances that existed centuries ago. Today we live in an unprecedently developed world. Everything has changed and improved dramatically. Have we really made progress as much as we think we did? Do we live in a free world? Are we able to choose our own path individually without guidance? Rules may not seem to be obvious as they were used to be. But it doesn't mean there are no more rules.We do still have politics, politicians and rule makers. Additionally, they have their powerful allies like media more than ever before. This collection got us ask all these questions.









As its designer said "There is a layer, a veneer on life that we are not meant to see through. In order to make them to transparent he made a reference with adding transparent materials to classic items like trench coats and other outerwear against to lack of transparency within policy, politics, and media."









Moreover, there were additional elements of interchangeable text on the clothes which can be seen or read in various ways depending on from which angle you are looking at. As the designer has pointed out, "the wearer sees fit, alluding to the fact that society accepts or resists what media fed, generally changing our perspective based on what suits our personal circumstances at that point."






Additionally, he added some deconstructed elements of the garments exist via referencing divisions in society, bound by industry which overpowers and holds everything together. Side panels are opened in the construction process-held together via industrial straps that can be loosened or tightened at the wearers' behest....

VEGAN PHOTO SHOOTING The second photo shooting as a part of London College of Style curriculum was for the vegan clients. We picked up the clothes according to the vegan clients and their expectations. We were very attentive to the fact that our clients were vegan and our choice of clothes, shoes and accessorizes shouldn't have included any animal product. We planned the photo shooting for the 2017 Spring/Summer collection. We agreed on using the trend bold colors and frills for the looks of the photo shooting.  We are divided into two groups. Each group made their preparations as if they are actually working for specific magazines. My group decided to work for  Love Magazine.  Therefore, we set the our theme as rebellious, city-dweller, young, joyful and free-spirit. We created a mood board according to this theme, from make-up to the clothes. I really found it difficult to find vegan clothes. There were barely no choices for vegans in most of the...

MY EXPERIENCE OF WORKING AT BACKSTAGE OF A COLD WALL AND BELSTAFF Thanks to London College of Style, I had the chance to work at the backstage of  A Cold Wall  and  Belstaff  during the London Fashion Week Mens’. I would love to talk about my experiences and what kind of skills you can gain if you are at the beginning of your career as fashion stylist as myself or if you inspire to be one.  At the backstage, I had the greatest opportunity to see the whole process of backstage from beginning to the end, to the catwalks and presentations. It made me realize many aspects to see what it means to be working as a fashion stylist at the backstage.  For example, I put all the clothes, shoes and accessories on the rails in an order that they have decided before for the day of the show and each of what belongs to the specific model. After having make-up and hair done, I dressed the models by relying on what looks has been set and sty...

After this exciting news, I would love to talk about the story behind my photo shooting. I am studying Fashion and Personal Styling Advanced Diploma at London College of Style. As part of curriculum of the school we were expected to conduct three photo shooting for the first term of the school. So here I would like to talk about how the process came through and how I prepared for photo shooting.  Most importantly,  I also would like to talk about what I have gained after this shooting. First thing was picking up some samples from PR companies. Thus, school wanted us to pi...
