To let the community aware of the campaign we decided to put the posters up around Manchester.
We also put together bins for people to put the donated clothes.

I used photoshop to create one of our posters. I used some of my drawings to create different eye catching patterens.

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:55:00 -0700 Climate Change http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/climate-change http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/climate-change

In the future Climate Change will have a huge impact on the world, cultures and social statuses. Developing countries will struggle to adapt and the divide between class will get bigger.  I want to combine all the new technology’s, ideas and concepts together to create a new fashion industry. Doing this will allow a new and clean slate for the fashion world which is quite a lovely idea. We can get rid of all the negativity surrounding it today.

When I went to the museum I notice there was a lot of extinct animals and skeletons. I thought that all these are effect of evolution and climate change.

What will happen to all the wildlife in the future?

Manchester Museums

To See The Future We Must Look At The Past.

I want to use Manchester museum as a souse of inspiration because it links in with our Manchester theme. I plan on using it to help me learn about the past and help solve our problem of A Trendless World.
I like the idea of combining all these old and futuristic ideas with a organic influence. In a sense all futuristic ideas have developed from the past. 'Retro Futurism' .

 

Climate change is not going to only impact fashion but it will have a huge impact on our nature and animals. Many animals and natural plants have already become extinct and in the future more and more will also. Im doing to do a range of visual studies and research around animals and things that can be found in the ocean but in the future wont be. On the Community Couture video there was an image of a boat where that sea was implying that in the future the sea will not be there.

‘A trend can be defined as the direction in which something new or different moves and which has a consequential impact on culture, social or business sections through which is moves.’

When creating new ideas, trends and forecasting we should Concentrate on:

What’s happening in the world?
What has already been done? Think of new exciting ideas and concepts.
Work in advance, concentrate on the future.
Be over the top, ideas get flittered down.

For inspiration we should look at website, magazines, journals, books etc

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:19:00 -0700 Someone's trash is another man's treasure... http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/recycled-clothingwaste http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/recycled-clothingwaste

Recycle V's Waste

Fred Eerdekens

I love how his work allows the viewer to get involved and ‘twist and turn’ around the objects whilst trying to make sense of them. When spiralling around the objects, they become direct figures of the play of logic that rules the objects.

I'm drawn to his work because it is clever, at first you think it’s a pile of waste but in fact he has almost recycled these objects and turned them into a piece of art work.

This pile of objects reminds me of the waste that can be found at a tip or in large disposal bins. Each item has a story and has been on a journey it would be interesting to find out where they have been and come from.

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:06:00 -0700 The Vision... http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/the-vision-BAmwJ http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/the-vision-BAmwJ

 Our vision is to solve the problem of fashion in the future. We believe that due to the climate change and the increase in recycled clothing that the fashion industry will be lost along with all current trends.

A Trendless World

We want to make a statement and cause the people of Manchester to react. Our campaign will involve the people of Manchester and we are going to ask them to donate clothing they don’t want and recycle them. We will deconstruct and reconstruct the clothes into new pieces of clothing and new fabric samples, creating a future trend.

Each item of clothing will have it own story that we will be discovering, stories that link into Manchester and different cultures.


I think this video works really well because he has created theses clean cut perfect horses and places them in areas that are not very developed and built up. The people of London have reacted to them as you can see. In a sense the horses are a form of graffiti but they create a calm feel in a harsh area.

I love the range of culture; I think I should include cultural influences in our new trend.  In the Community couture video they mentioned how there would be a lot of immigration due to climate change and the poorer countries being able to adapt better, creating a fusion of cultures and traditions.

We have decided to concentrate on the problem that due to climate change the fashion industry will get lost. We will end up living in a trendless world. One where people can will use hand-me-downs and 2nd hand clothes.

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 06:19:00 -0700 Community Couture. http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/110393669 http://smedley-bethany-tip.posterous.com/110393669

 

We choose to pick Community Couture because we liked the issues it raise such as, poor conditions for workers, climate change impacting the fashion industry and the way of life, the use of 2nd hand clothes growing, the past repeating its self(A simple life), divide between class and social status.
