ABOUT SHE Made up of over 30 unique characters, SHE, based in Coventry, aims to bring together the diverse projects of each of the 19/20 Fashion cohort of Coventry University’s Fashion course; to focus on the concept of ‘Rebellion’ and ‘Transparency’. The theme of ‘Rebellion’ is used as a theme for our visual branding and key values. For SHE, the ‘rebellion’ theme is used to reclaim space and make a statement our other supporting theme ‘transparency’ means to be open and honest about our individual research, journeys, material sourcing and development to which reflects the beauty in complexity of design and creative process.

Photography Inspired by rebellion and being yourself, the reclaiming of space and voicing your thoughts therefore our imagery should reflect this inspiration whilst capturing viewers’ attention. Projects within the brand of SHE are all inspired by the creators’ respective topics which brings together different materials. Close ups on materials and details of garments will be utilised along with the garments centre stage worn by diverse models of all ages and genders.
Editing from the photoshoots should be minimal with the correct lighting to make the images come across as natural and in the moment. Models in the photos can be expressive and over the top in emotion and body language, we want to give the viewer a show. Photography taken outside of studio spaces should have an industrial feel added with plenty of posters which gives it the reclaimed feel.
TONE OF VOICE SHE’s language is free speaking, open and honest. We’d want to be able to voice our thoughts which helps to document everyone’s design journeys which helps SHE to be as transparent about the fashion 19/20 cohort not just fabrics and materials. As open as we aim to be, the use of language relating to drug paraphernalia, illegal actions or content is strictly prohibited. Our language aims to stay personal and relatable to the viewing public and when communicating to people and other professionals.
