Coverage on WGSN

MA Fashion Media Production students Ling Huang, Patricia Vilani and Saskia Petra Reis have worked with Hermione de Paula to create a short film showcasing the designer’s autumn/winter 2011-12 collection. The film will be shown at Liberty’s and at Somerset House during London Fashion Week and was selected as part of a competition  held in conjunction with fashion film destination Imagine Fashion and production company White Lodge.

Students from the Fashion Media Production MA course were divided into groups, and partnered with a host of the UK’s most innovative designers – including Richard Nicoll, Michael Van der Ham, Holly Fulton and Osman Yousefzada – to create a fashion film inspired by the respective designers’ autumn/winter 2011-12 collections.

So far the film has received press coverage in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and WGSN.

The cavernous basements of Victoria House came alive, with a night of performance, costume, dance and film on the evening on 9th February. The much anticipated event showcased the avant-garde work of LCF’s postgraduate MA Costume Design for Performance students, in an evening described by the audience as “truly sensational”.

The attendance was the greatest seen yet as guests and industry insiders entered the pop-up performance space with a buzz of excitement. They were immediately confronted by the beautifully cinematic performance installation by Yuliya Krylova; ‘The Other Selves’, a piece of physical theatre inspired by Sarah Kane’s 4.48 psychosis. A lone female was depicted, initially immersed within a sea of folded silk, gradually shedding her paper-like layers to a throbbing soundscape.

The brightest emerging fashion strategists congregated within the heart of London College of Fashion to provide insight into some of the key issues affecting the future of the industry. The event on the 8th February was LCF’s first annual Fashion Management Symposium: a forum for postgraduate students and industry specialists to engage in a number of student-led presentations on their dominant area of research.

LCF’s reputation for producing the highest calibre of postgraduate fashion-based research was certainly maintained, within areas varying from sonic branding to the future of silk production. There were however two evident trends: sustainability, and fashion’s positioning within digital media.
