Iryna Gorelikova fashion graduation

in , , , , ,

Designcollector is a place for revealing upcoming artist and cares more when it comes to cover new stars from Russian-speaking community. This time we want to feature fresh fashion graduate from Ravensbourne, London; London College Of Fashion - Iryna Gorelikova. Born in Sebastopol, Ukraine, Iryna first completed same university as me in Saint-Petersburg (SUTD). Worth to mention some coincidence that another university fellow and quite famous London fashion designer David Koma was in jury for Iryna. Clap-clap-clap.

Iryna Gorelikova collection, Ravensbourne 2012

Reflecting today’s time, worldwide crises, natural disasters, the rapid growthof social media is the evidence that the world is transforming into new forms of reality.

A dissertation written, with the lead question ‘What is Innovation in Fashion Today? Rei Kawakubo’s phenomenon’, visited lectures in Economics at LSE and Alan Moor’s ‘No straight Lines: making sense of our non-linear world’ talk, were found as primary sources for the main concept for the final collection. The study shows that the world changes from linear to nonlinear existence and one of the most successful business companies today, due to a crisis condition, the Lego Group, with its flagship product, Lego constructor. Lego consists of colourful interlocking plastic bricks and various other parts. After this case study a ‘LEGO concept’ has been found. The main colour of the collection is black and represents our current linear world in combination with other bright colours, like colourful Lego bricks, that are hidden inside of garments (lining) represent the ‘non-linear world’. The use of special metal buttons that by their shape are very similar to Lego bricks, which give to garments a feeling of bricks of clothes that can be assembled and connected in many ways. Anything constructed can be taken apart again. For instance, a dress can be deconstructed into a skirt and a jumpsuit, and so on.

A classical school of pattern making appears in the heart of each look which during the process of FMP development transforms and reflects today’s shapes and silhouettes. Main techniques and features used for building the collection are hand sewing, felting, mixed texture of black fabrics; hats and rings as accessorises.

Autumn/Winter Avant-garde /Concept womenswear Collection is based on, luxury production, expensive fabrics: different types of wool, cashmere; textured, thickness.

Typography Insight app

in , ,

Typography Insight, developed by Parsons design student Dong Yoon Park, is sort of like an iPad typeface encyclopedia. Only encyclopedias are boring, and Typography Insight is beautiful and fun. With a wonderful and decently responsive interface, you can beef up on type terminology (do you know what an ascender is? A baseline?) compare fonts with a nifty overlay mode, or just get all up in their perfect formed faces to appreciate and learn nuances. via Gizmodo App designed and created by Dong Yoon Park Available for both iPhone and iPad

McBess

in , , ,

French illustrator, film director and creative polymath Mathieu Bessudo, or McBess, is a London-based artist with an eye for incredible detail and a mind for a surreal rearrangement of the most simplistic of subject matters.

Same as our friends from Hobo and Sailor (that made an awesome DCN t-shirt for us) McBess inspires from earlier 20 century's studio Fleischer Cartoon

McBess also does music and videos, let's watch

Axel Peemoeller graphic designer

in , , ,

Freelance is a great part of design process but what about mobility? Here is a great example of movable freelancer - Axel Peemöller works and live on a boat in Mediterranean Sea and is able to visit any customer around the shores. But even living as a sea wolf-designer he has established a remote team of developers and creative people able to pick up tasks with collective efforts.

Jean-Francois Lepage photography

in , , , ,

Surrealism and haute-coutre mixed in a cocktail painted with vivid colours - that's how I see Jean-Francois Lepage photography. Lepage has set himself apart as both a fashion photographer and a visual artist with his innovative approach of merging the two worlds into his own conceptual universe of image making. With the use of drawing and deconstructed collage, Lepage further pushes his work to explore his insights on individuality, mortality, and the unspoken forces which guide the sublime emotional instincts of the human mind.

Sundays - A Film About Our Future by PostPanic

in , ,

"Sundays (working title) is a feature film idea created and written by Dutch commercials director Mischa Rozema. It is a project he has been living and sleeping with for the past years. It is the result of stories inhabiting his head, images that need to be visualised and the the desire to create a film completely different to anything we’ve seen before. The story is there, so is the research. What we are asking your help with is the opportunity to create a short film - the first step on the path to realising a feature film - using the skills and passion of Mischa and his team at PostPanic and Savage."

"We're raising money through Kickstarter to make this short film. We want to show what is visually possible when creative integrity is closely guarded from the beginning. We don’t want to risk diluting Mischa’s vision by 3rd parties forcing him to become more mainstream and commercial. We want to show what he is capable of as a storyteller when he has complete control over the direction."

Appcollector: Favourite apps by Designcollector

in

Today I will speak for myself in Friday's "Appcollector Favourites". Here is a list of creative applications I use daily to keep Designcollector and myself in a good shape.

[twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]

1. iFound

As a visual hunter I can't spend a day without sticking for an hour on FFFFOUND imagery solaris. Their brand new iPhone app works fast and crisp with all that amount of data, and I like the way related images are organized so I can go deeper and deeper until I get obscene girls images on screen. App can glitch sometimes due to caching.[/twocol_one_last]

[twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]

2. Google Currents (Google Медиа)

Earlier this year Google has an attempt to shake up the online blogs and magazines scene with Google Currents publishing tool and mobile application. The tool allows blogs owners to create branded mobile Google magazines fetching data from RSS, Picasa, Youtube likes and Google Plus all together. We could not make that works together but released Designcollector on Google Currents, feel free to subscribe. In overall this is a very strong application for news reading (bonus: optional offline sync!). Most of favourite blogs and media publish their Google Currents Magazines but you can easily subscribe to plain RSS channels you like.[/twocol_one_last]

[twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]

3. Gabi

My latest finding, thanks to Mashable. Gabi is a new way to visualize and interact with the world’s largest social network. Yes it is a sort of smart visual interface for Facebook, working smoothly with popular/unpopular content from your newsfeed, friends and yourself. It is not the application to chat with your friends and shower likes on the walls, it is more about getting the most interest content[/twocol_one_last]

[twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]

4. Reeder

When I am getting tired from Google Currents I switch to the ultimate Google Reader mobile interface - Reeder app. It is good, has a clean UI, easy flow and a lot of sharing options. The only thing I am worrying about is offline image caching, that works randomly on a huge list of channels like mine. [/twocol_one_last]

[twocol_one][/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]

5. SVPPLY

Svpply is a hand-selected collection of the world's best products from all across the world. The application has awesome interface without notorious skeuomorphism and interacts easily with a fun. Follow us on SVPPLY[/twocol_one_last]

Bonus: Manifest

According to Manifest app with Russian roots, things divides to "Cool" and "Dumb". Connect your friends, take a snaps with your camera and rate them together. [/twocol_one_last]
