Graduation Project - II - FIELD REFERENCES

>> The first part of this whole thing I forgot I had started talking about is here! <<

So, I was saying that there were some issues with the project HiGH&LOW, right?

Well, when it comes to LDH goods and releases...basically everything (really everything) goes sold out pretty quickly! When the releases are online it take some few seconds, less than a minute! And it's a frustrating experience, because when you're there, making the checkout of your cart, BOOOM! your items are no avaliable anymore...

I remember when they posted about the goods of the HiGH&LOW series how the internet went crazy! Instagram, Twitter, Weibo! All the fans were dying, because all the items looked so desirable at a first glance!

But then, when the day came, tons of products were still avaliable for days, which meant even thought all the fans wanted to buy everything, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe the appeal was not enough to make the sellings work out.

So today, this part two is about the creative ways the fans found out to engage with their favorite groups/gangs and how their solutions are better than the released official products! (the credit of each picture shown in each printscreen - from instagram - 2016)

FASHION ILLUSTRATION CLASSES - I

It's been two weeks since I started with the Fashion Illustration post graduation course. And tomorrow I'll also start the Jewellery Collection course.

So far we've been through human figure and some references researches... 

Trying to find a mid point between the realistic style and the manga style is not easy. And I can't say the professor loves manga. But yeah... I'm surviving and learning a lot, or so I want to believe, hahahaha.

"You can find great references at Vogue and Elle magazines." - Yup, it's quite obvious, isn't it? Maybe way too much obvious for my liking... So I decided to go a little outside the box and take some references I knew the other students would not take to the classroom =P

 Some scans from japanese Seventeen magazine.

Bridal editorial, from YES WEDDING magazine.

Camila Klein's jewellery collection.

Gekkan EXILE's editorial with Takanori Iwata

Again, Takanori Iwata, but this cool poses are from his first photobook. ♥

And Yuzuru. Obviously. You saw it coming, didn't you? ♥
Now, really, his movements are very elegant - that's why he's here again.

Not only Yuzu though. Kaitlyn Weaver, Yuna Kim, Carolina Kostner, Karen Chen, Kaetlyn Osmond and Maia Shibutani too. Because Figure Skating is elegant. Period. ♥

Later on, I'm going to make a post just about my production and its evolution, but for now, here you have an illustration of the canadian figure skater Gabrielle Daleman. It's the 3rd illustration since the classes have started:

Gabby herself gave my post a like, so you can imagine how over the Moon I became when I saw the notification! ♥

So far so good it seems!
