THE CONCEPT THAT WE DEVELOPED FOR HIP X LCA WAS BASED AROUND THE THEME OF ICE AND WATER, WHICH LATER DEVELOPED FURTHER INTO CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS. AS A GROUP WE DECIDED ON THIS THEME DUE TO THE TIME OF YEAR BEING WINTER, AND CHRISTMAS AND AFFECTIVELY WANTED TO RECOGNISE THIS YET IN A SUBTLE WAY. THIS THEME WAS THEN RUN THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DESIGN PACVAGE WHICH INCLUDED, THE WINDOW DISPLAY, BRANDING, ZINE, AND THE EVENT.

REBECCA BATTY | FASHION AND COMMUNICATION | DIVERSITY | APRIL 2014
DIVERSITY CAN RANGE FROM A PERSON BEING DIFFERENT SUCH AS TATTOO'S TO HEIGHT, WEIGHT, LOOKS, STYLE, CLOTHING, DRESS SENSE, SEXUALITY OR EVEN AGE.
HOWEVER MY IDEA FOCUSES ON WOMEN AND SIZE AND HOW NO MATTER WHAT WE LOOK LIKE OR FEEL LIKE ITS ON THE INSIDE WHAT COUNTS.
WOMEN CONSTANTLY SECOND GUESS THERE LOOKS AND FEEL THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM AND MANY WOMEN FEEL AS IF THEY WANT TO BE SEEN AS NORMAL SO HAVE TO ACT OR DRESS IN A CERTAIN WAY TO DO THIS.
WHAT IS NORMAL? WHAT IS ACTUALLY CLASSED AS A NORM IN SOCIETY?
FOR MY DIVERSITY PROJECT I CREATED LABELS, LABELS THAT I HAD A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MEN AND WOMEN LABEL OTHER FEMALES AT SOME POINT WHETHER THEY WERE COMPLIMENTS OR INSULTS. NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT WE ARE SEEN AS AROUND THE WORLD WOMEN WILL ALWAYS BEEN LABELLED.
