Research for vogue magazine

I have been looking even closer at the front and back an inside of the Vogue magazines to make sure that i follow the exact way Vogue has been put together to make mine look part of it.

always have an advertisement on the back

The writing "Vogue" is commonly know to be covered by the modle's head but it is not a necessity as I have found some that do and some that dont 

Some special addictions have special finishes on the front cover

adverts can go next to writing

Vivienne Westwood interview

Vivienne Westwood

I had been planning on pasting my girls on to a grungy brick wall, however I have been looking at punks and how they came around. How they wanted to be noticed and seen, being stared at.
So I have decided that I should cut out models of my girls and place them in a city center and take pictures where people are walking past and looking at what I am doing.

Vogue designer 1- Alexander McQueen

Sarah Burton can’t do things by halves. Just when London expects her to put on a routine, serviceable presentation for the McQ Alexander McQueen collection, as a mere teaser for the opening of its Dover Street store in the spring, she goes mega with a whole runway show and a theatrical performance. Maybe she didn’t want to let London down, or the name of Alexander McQueen in the city he was born. But whatever her motivations were, Burton treated the McQ audience to the full runway experience—a space covered in dried leaves, and a dramatic ending that had Kristen McMenamy wandering into a faux winter-wood to a lonely hut, which then blasted into life with music and flashing lights. 




This will be my 1st collection to illustrate, it is all about romantic autumn/winter, I will be drawing the models clothes in roots and dead leaves and woodland animals as the title given to this collection is called "IN TO THE WOODS. I am quite excited to so this as I love drawing nature, it will defiantly be in colour in my magazine.

Proenza Schouler

The fact that Jack McCollough andLazaro Hernandez took off a whole month to trek through Nepal and Bhutan after their last show might evoke a number of critical reactions from a workaholic, adrenaline-driven (and highly envious) fashion industry. But really, the extended trip was a creative investment—not so much an ethnographic field trip in search of folk costumes, as a chance to unplug from an overstimulated, frantic state of mind. “It was interesting to be somewhere where nobody has iPhones or computers,” said Hernandez, “and where there are often just no people, anyway.” As McCollough puts it, traveling far, far away from their physical place of work in New York is more about  “going inside our heads. The best ideas come that way. We never look at ‘fashion,’ really.” Still, as Hernandez said with a shrug, “It’s pretty difficult to be completely disconnected in this day and age. We were up there in the mountains of Bhutan one day, and my BlackBerry goes off. I’m like, ‘Hi, Mom. You’ll never guess where I am!’ ”  
 
The results of their sojourn? Some of the most resolved and directional clothes we’ll be seeing in New York, to judge from the two looks they put together for Vogue.com this morning. “We like something really slouchy,” said McCollough, as their model put on an oversize jacket—something reminiscent of a biker, with wide pleat-front pants worn low on the hip. “This idea of power and strength.” A second look, an inflated peacoat with a side fastening, was worn over a fantastically reworked big, puffy sweatshirt in contrasting panels, and a short wrapped basket-weave leather skirt. There is nothing dithering or watered down about what they’ve arrived at. Every piece has been created from fabrics made from scratch—often subtly influenced by kimono fabrics or martial-arts Kendo uniforms, with a lot of metallic brocades happening too. But it’s the fashion conviction and leadership that is sure to stand out: Proenza Schouler is going to dare to go there with big shapes in a way that will shift the way girls dress. Can’t wait.

Vis-à-gris

Opposites (black and white, structure and flou) are reconciled in grey. Grey, at once industrial and poetic: hard as steel, dove-soft.

Illuminated with flashes of color, sparkling ornamentation, an engineered architectural print, the achromatic granite-toned scale throws the textures of sculpted wools, solid felts, and cowled chiffons into relief.

A sensual silhouette—long, narrow, leggy—extending from a high neckline; caught at peplumed hips. Clothing as sanctuary: The body protectively enveloped in the soft armor of a fitted sheath, the sharp discipline of fencing- inspired jackets, the structured carapace of a coat. The female form revealed by smoky transparencies that allow a glimpse of skin and of delicate lingerie not meant to be hidden, but seen.
