III

Writing the introductory text to the Fashion Textiles yearbooks, always calls for a moment of reflection on the creative journeys of the students whose work is represented, but this year it feels more poignant than ever.

The lock down occurred in the week that this Graduating cohort finished their final collections. The University shut, reopened and shut again across 3 subsequent days and the students handed in their collections amid a rising spirit of descent. The students dispersed to bedrooms, flats and houses across the Country, and overnight – everything changed.

The thing is, these students have done brilliantly. They have worked in the most varied of circumstances and their creativity, innovation and determination have shone through. They have adapted, developed, and in many cases excelled.

One of the reasons that they have done so well, is because as a cohort they have such a strong sense of community. From the outset this group of individuals collaborated and encouraged each-other, developing over the 3 years a supportive, inclusive, ambitious and often humorous group identity.

The studio was routinely a mess, the blinds were askew and the floor was regularly covered in paper and bits of fabric. But in that studio the foundations for the future were laid - and they have used them well.

Nothing can replace a studio based education, but what it engenders in approach, methodology and creative spirit can be applied across all contexts, and it is because of that, that these students have done, and will do, so well.

To say we are proud would be an understatement, this cohort, often referred to as ‘the first cohort of the new course’ really have been brilliant, and we wish them every success.

The New 20’s: Immortal Youth

This collection explores youth through the youthful exploits of Greek Gods and the Bright Young Things from the 1920’s, both of which were immortalised through sculpture and photography. Immortalisation is prominent in contemporary youth culture through social media and technology as we become more absorbed with our digital selves. The use of hand rendered and digital mark making and collaging inspired by close-ups of Greek sculpture and geometric art from the Art Deco period created an exciting new fusion. This reflects the exciting times ahead for modern youth culture as we start a new decade, 100 years later from the 1920’s.

A Working Nostalgia.

Regardless of who you are and where you come from, we all have certain similarities.

Family is the cement in most of our lives that acts as the the foundation to who we are, how we act, and who we go on to become, whether that’s positive or not.

When we are younger, figures in our lives often are our HEROS and as time progresses and we become older, they become more human, prone to mistakes and being just like us. Certain individuals may stay as our HEROS however, whether its the way they’ve brought you up through something particularly hard. These are my Heroes. Public Service workers are the foundations to our country and society and often overlooked.

Are we governed by the superficial or in fact the opposite?

Object

Solely intrigued by what is inside, much alike that of buildings.

Do we in fact change the face of the Wvbuildings we personify ourselves to be?

Is it the cities, the towns, the man made things that govern the social sphere and highlight the mirages we facilitate to know?

It changed the way I thought.

About the way our pieces of the puzzle fit.

Like two broken party rings of contrasting shades united as one delicious biscuity treat making you feel warm and whole and united.

Time is free, time is your challenge, time is your guide.

Constant confliction because it’s never there or never gone its always just passing.

To the point we forget that we’re passing too.

On a journey, every day, minute, hour, second, on a journey.

But to where?

‘Who’ knows?

WELCOME TO GROW

Jess Knight Jessicaaknight@outlook.com

GROW was establised as part of a collaborative conceptual project. Working to imagine the endless possibilities of our world in the future we ventured in to the clincal and scientific advances of our current generation.

Turns out we aren’t that far away from growing meat from stem cells.

This project was

made into a printed lookbook and online catalog. This conceptual company then inspired designs for my silk scarf module which are presented as GROW merchandise.

Lost your finger in a terrible gardening accident, your not on your own. In Last years Isolation report we saw a 60% increase in gardening related injuries. For the green fingers who have become fingerless we have the solution for you. Using our specialised spore soil, now on sale, you can simply replace your lost fingers by snipping of a bit of fingernail and adding water.

Using our unique blend of DNA glue you can simply stick the finger back

on to its respective knuckle part.

At GROW we aim to facilitate life here you can grow almost anything your heart desires in almost anything your heart desires

Ellie Mills THE NOTION OF SPACE

elliemills981@gmail.com

“SPACE IS NOT A PASSIVE RECEPTACLE IN WHICH OBJECTS AND FORMS ARE POSITIONED...

SPACE ITSELF IS AN OBJECT [OF CREATION] AND THE MAIN ONE! SPACE IS CHARGED WITH ENERGY. SPACE SHRINKS AND EXPANDS AND THESE MOTIONS MOULD FORMS AND OBJECTS IT IS SPACE THAT GIVES BIRTH TO FORMS! IT IS SPACE THAT CONDITIONS THE NETWORK OF RELATIONS AND TENSIONS BETWEEN OBJECTS TENSION IS THE PRINCIPAL FACTOR OF SPACE.” (KANTOR, 1997)

FASHION IS ARCHITECTURE. IT IS A MATTER OF PROPORTIONS.
