love for Coldplay.

 

I am a MAJOR coldplay fan, love their songs, some more than others. I disliked it when I spoke about them infront of my friends cause all they would say is all their material is depressing, well its not.

There newest album Mylo Xyloto is certainly not and thats what they aimed to do and succeeded.

 

Either it is a Concert, an interview or an awards event, Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland,Will Champion and Guy Berryman all have an input on what they wear, even designing their outfits, especially for their Concerts.

"Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete. We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle but it's the truth and it gives us some control over our visual identity."

 

 

What I also love about Coldplay is there creativeness, the Cover for Mylo Xyloto is Graffiti, they printed it on everything from the backdrops for concerts, their clothes and on all their instruments.

 

"and it was all yellow.."

 

 

So far I have been very fortunate to have been able to see them live not once but four times, two times at the Secc in Glasgow, TITP (T In The Park - Festival) and the fourth at Wembley Stadium in London and what was even more amazing was that Jay-Z was also there perfoming with them and Girls Aloud were the opening act. 

 

These are the wrist bands we were all handed as we were going into the concert, at certain songs they would flash, now just picture these on thousands of peoples wrists, in different colours all flashing, imagine that, I was there I seen it happen, mind blowing, clever. They are without a doubt the BEST band to see live, truly recommend them. Well I shall leave you with a little taster if you haven't already heard them before, one of my favourite songs called "Charlie Brown".

Experience

For some work experience, I helped at a bridal shop in Perth called Alison Kirk, was very helpful and I also gained a lot. Was very thankful for them to let me work their for a while. As I was not payed they felt they owed me something so they gave me a couple of gifts 'Fashion Designers Sketchbook' which has helped me with my graded unit this semester and a clutch purse from river Island, but it was not one of their own designs, it was designed by a winner from one of the River Island competitions, which I love, for example if I was just to wear a plain outfit out one night I can count on that clutch to brighten up my look just that little bit more.

To Buy Or Not To Buy?

Is it just me that whenever I see a particular piece of clothing in either a vibrant colour or bold pattern or even a style that you just love but have no idea if you would suit it and just too scared to try incase you just look silly, well for me it is Maxi dresses..since im quite petite I don't know if I would or not, even if it is just a plain black with a high slit maxi dress I am becoming more tempted to buy this dress from http://www.missguided.co.uk/. As spring is approaching, should I really be buying this, BUT this is Scotland and Scottish weather is not exactly the best, pay day soon so I may infact treat myself.

WAX

Some say i go to to college well i say i go to nursery cause all i do is 'play' and experiment with different media. This is one of the papers i made today with wax and dyes, at first it didn't come out the way i planned, but then i just went a long with it and it turned out pretty good, well i thought so. Might not appeal to everyone but this is how designers start off, so imagine it then printed on bags,tops,skirts or dresses. Would you be brave enough to wear a pttern like this?
