Magnea Einarsdottir

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 12:17:00 +0100

Name: Magnea Einarsdottir

Where are you from? Iceland

Age: 26

Occupation: fashion/knitwear designer

Magnea graduated in June 2012 in Fashion design and knitwear (BA) at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London.

I.F. Why did you choose to specialise in Knitwear?

M.E. Actually, I wasn’t planning on going into knitwear. Before I started at Central Saint Martins I did a year at Parsons Paris in womenswear. Parsons was amazing and in one year I learned so much: pattern cutting, draping and drawing. But I wanted to go to London so I applied for CSM and was offered a place in knitwear because the tutors saw potential in my portfolio. I had never seen a knitting machine before, but it just felt right. When you design knitwear the focus is on the fabric. You begin with experimenting with the textiles and designing the shapes and silhouettes of the clothes comes later. I usually keep my shapes simple so the knitting stands out. It is all about the knit. The best thing is that you are designing something from scratch. It is restricted to being knitted, but for me that is not really a bad thing.

I.F. Where did you get the inspiration for your BA Graduation collection and what is the concept behind it?

M.E. The starting point in my research was to look at what happens when it is getting dark outside, when day meets night. There is a big difference between that time of day where I come from compared to London, where it is not as dramatic, so I looked at opposites and how they attract and used all sorts of contrasting materials to experiment with and create my fabrics.

I.F. What are your plans for the future?

M.E. I want to do an MA but not just yet so I didn’t apply for anything this year and decided to move back to Iceland where I am going to work on my own designs and do some freelance work for now.

I.F. Do you think there is a lot of room for innovation in knitwear and why?

M.E. I think there are endless possibilities in knitwear. The word ’knit’ probably makes most people think about an old lady knitting a wooly jumper, but there is so much more to it. At CSM you get the opportunity to work next to fresh and super talented students and tutors who encourage you to push your ideas more and more and I think graduates must come out wanting to keep on going in that mode and keep exploring.

- a sketch from Magnea’s portfolio -

I.F. Which are your 3 favourite fashion shops or boutiques in London?

M.E. Monki on Carnaby Street, COS and Urban Outfitters

I.F. Your style in 3 adjectives:

M.E. Effortless, detailed, simple.

Hayley Grundmann

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:23:00 +0100

Name: HAYLEY GRUNDMANN

Job: FASHION DESIGNER

Nationality: British

Age: 24

Hayley Grundmann graduated in June 2012 in Fashion design and knitwear (BA) at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London.

I.F.: What is the best and the worst thing about being a fashion designer and why did you want to become one yourself?

H.G.: The best thing is being able to see your ideas and what you have created come to life, being able to express yourself and sharing that with everyone. The worst thing is lack of sleep! I wanted to become a designer because since the age of 7 thats the only way I expressed myself- through clothes, its what I am most passionate about and what excites and interests me the most.

I.F: Where do you draw your inspiration from and what is the concept/inspiration behind the collection you presented at the Central Saint Martins show in May 2012?

H.G.:From everything and anything that is around me, that effects me and that ultimately challenges me. I was inspired by the Launderette for my collection shown in May this year at CSM. It was taking the ordinary laundry bag, for example, and making it into something new. This idea of making this daily necessity of washing your clothes into something special and precious as clothes to wear. I suppose I like to make the most out of the most ordinary of things.

I.F.: What is your motto? H.G.: My motto for life is one Oscar Wilde said “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken”! But one that inspired me a lot this year is “there are many different paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same”.

I.F.: What in your opinion makes a great frock? H.G.: It has to suit your shape and your eyes, make you feel blimming amazing! For me it has to backless and 70’s inspired!

I.F.: What are your plans for the future? Are you going to design your own label or would you prefer working for an established fashion house? H.G.: Golly gosh who knows!! Right now I am concentrating on continuing my studies onto the Masters Fashion course at Central Saint Martins and who knows what will happen after that. I would love to one day have my own label out there.

I.F.: Describe your style in 3 words. H.G.: vintage, bargain, brogues!!

♥ AW12 MENS AD CAMPAIGNS ♥

Sun, 29 Jul 2012 23:40:00 +0100

PRADA AW12 mens campaign shot by David Sims is starring four amazing actors: Gary Oldman, Jamie Bell, Garrett Hedlund and a super intriguing-looking Willem Dafoe.

No models in sight for the LANVIN AW12 mens campaign either. Shot by Steven Meisel, it features only real people in an age group spanning from 18 to 82 year old. “I was interested to bring these clothes back to the street somehow, and seeing how they look on different ages, different sizes,” Elbaz told WWD. “It felt like a crazy family, and I like that.”

DOLCE & GABBANA AW12 mens campaign shot by Mariano Vivanco is featuring a 100% Italian cast with Bianca Brandolini, Brenno Placido, Carmine Recano, Gianmarco Tognazzi, Flavio Parenti and Francesco Scianna. I like the relaxed feel of the shot below where they all look like normal Italian people chilling on a Sunday.

…and of course some trademark baroque fashion is in order! Very Dolce.

EMMA J. SHIPLEY 's VISIONARY SCARVES

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:53:00 +0100

I recently came across Emma J. Shipley’s scarves which she launched in February this year, after graduating from the renowed Royal College of Art in London.

They are featuring designs derived from Emma’s original drawings and as I saw them I was struck by her visionary and subversive imagination!

Her work celebrates the beauty of nature showing its darkest and wildest side, its dangerous and sometimes even brutal side. It is not about romantic flowers and blossoms: her prints mostly feature surreal tropical plants that turn into spiky snakes, leopards that turn into leaves and vice versa…Gorilla’s skeletons…

…gorillas & skeletons…

…surreal spiky plants are covered in snake scales…

…the leopard’s fur turns into leaves and plants…

…and into leopard print leaves…
