I think it's pretty clear from my posts on this blog that I love street style, and it's often wear I get most of my inspiration for my own outfits. I think that trickle ups, where the style from the streets creates the season's must haves on the catwalk, is amazing, and think it's great that fashion brands actually listen to what consumers want to see by looking at what people are wearing in day to day life.
At the moment, I am completing a brief for my FCP course which is revolved around the whole street style phenomenon. My task is to create a photo essay of at least 30 images, exploring a trend, story and theme behind all of them, with an aspect that links them all together. At the moment, bold prints are everywhere, in forms of checks, spots, stripes, florals; you just can't escape them, and so I decide to create my photo essay looking at what sort of patterns and colours people on the streets are wearing this autumn/winter. I decided to look at young, fashion focused women for the brief, as feel that this is the market which are wearing these bold patterns the most, and also wanted each photograph to have a visual link, all with females around the same age, giving me a better understanding of the patterns that particularly appeal to this target market.
I played around with a couple of practice images to see how I wanted the final images to look, and decided that having a close up of the patterned garment as a border really emphasised the focal point of the image, whilst also allowing all images to have another obvious visual link.
I can't wait to get all my images and choose which I like the most to include as my final 30, also looking at what has really stood out as a dominant pattern. Here's a sneak peak of some of the images I've been working on so far!
