Please Help Me With My Homework/Research/Survey

[gius]

Hi tfsers,

Hi was wondering if there are any sites or photo agencies that have access to older runway photos - like past 1995?

I ask this because I am looking for some old Dolce & Gabbana runway shows for a paper I am writing. I checked out firstview, and they stopped at 1996. Any other sites or resources I should check out?

Thanks for any help!

I don't know about that designer, but you might have to go look at books at the library instead... For example I found many books on looks from old collections by the original Kenzo, Chanel, Balenciaga, Comme des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto, Vivienne Westwood, etc. which is so much harder to find online

West Meets East

Hi all,

I am doing a research for my essay. I hope you guys out there could help me out with this.

As seen in some designers work, there are co-operations of west and east culture.

Will it become a bigger trend in the near future? Who else are using it?
Who is the first one who started mixing up western and eastern culture? What is his/her inspirations?
How has this trend been developing so far. What are the general feedback from other designers, media, and public?

And what do you think about this combinations?

Any suggestions on where else to find related informations?

Many Thanks,

Best Regard.

most directional designers?

I was just wondering... doing some research on footwear - who are the most directional designers at the moment who will be "setting the trends" for the next few seasons? Any clues?

Thanks

Martin Margiela
Stefano Pilati
Nicholas Ghesquire
Marni
Prada
Chloe under Phoebe Philo and later Yvan Mispleare
Marc Jacobs

I feel like all these designer more or less sway the rest of the women's fashion market each influencing their own niche and sometimes blurring (like Prada and Marni or Chloe and Marc). As much as I love designers like Alber at Lanvin or Rick Owens, they're influential but rarely do they set the pace. I feel with all the designers I listed you can clearly track directional collections, when they were introduced, and a major shift in design after their introduction.

Please Help- Looking for a color book

Hello everyone,
I hope I put this in the right section please feel free to move it, also I looked and looked and but could not find a thread with the same topic, but if there is one feel free to delete it.

Okay my question:

I've been looking for a book (for a long time) that gives me a list of colors and there real name. I need this for when I write papers for school and I need to describe something clothes or collections or something. Thank you for your time and any help you can give me!

**Note I'm not looking a website (beside screen res. can lie lol) and I don't need computer number code of the color.

Thank you!!!

P.S. I'm new here and would like to say Hello to everyone!

you mean like Pantone?

 

[FashionCopious]

i could be wrong but each company/industry names their color collections differently. besides the basics of course, blue, red, yellow etc... but since Pantone is the world unofficial standard it might be best to go with them

when i was working on placement with a designer generally they made up their own names for colours for example truffle, coffee etc. if you want an exact colour reference then pantone would be used since someones perception of a colour name could be different to another person.

for example i always got truffle and coffee mixed up since the truffle colour was darker than the coffee colour. the coffee was beige and the truffle a dark brown and because of the names in my head i thought these woulc be the other way around.

not of much help but i have only really used pantone as a universal reference.

yep I think colours are "designed" in each collection
so they become unique to that designer

but Pantone is good

also, common colour names can be found in artist's paints ..
so check any book that talks about acrylics, paints, pastels, pencil crayons, watercolours, illustration, etc.
you'll find a list containing like alizarin crimson, cerulean/cobalt/ultramarine blue, lemon yellow, ochre, burnt sienna and so on

Does anyone know a cool piece of digital arts?

 

[gius]

just think Björk music videos ..

 

[tortoisie]

Thank you so much!

Is there any one of them that is your favourite or that you find is the coolest?

 

[gius]

'all is full of love' is a really popular one ^

a lot of her videos are digital i think...

also Radiohead often has good videos... they also used to do promotional vids called "blips". they're animation with a clip of music...really, really nice

my fave animated vid is Coldplay's 'Trouble'

Well for the jungle vs arctic you could play on contrasting colors, shapes, and textures. The jungle would use a lot of warmer colors and of course green and the arctic would be cool colors with a lot of white. Jungles "texture" or structure i guess would be a good word, would be very busy with stuff all over the place and arctic would be more simplistic and minimal.

Same thing kinda for male and female. For male you could use more industrial jagged and straight lines and female use pictures with curves and soft lines. Also with colors masculine would be colors like navy, gray, dark green etc and feminine would be pastels etc.

So basically just find pictures that can convey those types of guidelines. I don't know if the project is asking for you to be literal by using pictures of polar bears and palm tress but if not you can easily convey those themes without being to literal.
