Final Photographs

I have selected these pictures as my final piece because they show what im representing. I have also included my friend in the pictures who I'd dressed up in a traditional  Pakistani kurta. I chose to use a english person in my photoshoot aswell because it also shows the mixture of the cultures and how they learn and live and mix with people from different cultures.

A few pictures from my photoshoot and details about the look

I have decided to use Platt Fields park Skate park as my location, I used traditional arabic makeup to keep my look traditional but added a few twists like a top from a shop and some trainers underneath the whole look for this photoshoot was a mix match of both cultures to show my identity. It shows my own culture and also my life in Manchester hence why I used a local park we spend time in the summer and i chose a skate park specifically because you dont find them in Pakistani countries and its a beautiful backdrop for what im trying to portray. I used a tripod to take pictures of myself and also did the styling and makeup myself. If i was to do it over or was given more time to do another I would try to incorporate more looks and maybe include a few different locations from manchester, for example a westernized look at an asian orientated area.

Trends Forecasting

My Notes from the Trend Forecasting Lecture I thought this Lecture was very interesting as I've learnt things I hadn't learnt before such as micro trends and macro trends I think it was good for me to go to this lecture as a textiles student and learn more about the fashion world and more about what the fashion students learn about. It was also interesting to learn about the way the highstreet stores use the big brands and fashion to create cheaper and more affordable prices and how companies such as Primark work.
