ADVERTISING in FASHION

HELLO AGAIN,

I was very happy in welcoming some old and some new student's to LA MODA! One of the last classes I had last semester was about fashion ad design. I decided to continue this topic and have the students create their own fashion ad for their own line. The students used prexisting images from online and began to create their ads. These two below were the ones finished during class:


This one is by new student Ashley P. I really enjoy it's overall funky feel!


Amanda Ramos worked on this one and she did a great job having alot of fun with the models!

THIS WEEK: We will start a bigger project creating original apparel designs and unique ads for them.

FASHION O MY FASHION...

FASHION.

Fashion is and will be a natural part of any society. It should then reflect what is happening in that society. Someone asked me last week concerning my interest in the fashion world, and asked if my fashion-knowledge has grown.

I guess it has. I realize fashion gets a bad rep sometimes, as a PROGRAMMED thing-------( Meaning, YOU think YOU should wear what a MAGAZINE tells YOU to wear instead of what YOU want to wear. ) That bad rep.


One company , EDUN, a new high-fashion line is trying to make that view of fashion "image" a little brighter & broader. (They sure love hugging African kids they do!) One of Edun's founders is the wife of U2 frontman, Bono. If you watch there videos --------LOOK UP-------- you get a diffrent vibe from them, like they're very "earthy" or something.

Anyways long story short... YOU folks should put the same sentement into your work, especially in LA MODA!!!


I actually like the fact that the silkscreening is done in PERU!!!!!

OH....

happy valen-whines day.
