Start from the Very Beginning...

                   Summer

So a longggg summer holidays has begun and the summer brief has been set. IDENTITY & SPACE are the two main areas that we've been asked to explore as well as gaining fashion work experience.
Heres the start of my Journey and the questions i'm about to explore and embark on..

Consider what is identity and how it is constructed?
-How do you see yourself?
-Is identity constructed adn interpreted by the self or the onlooker?
-What Identities are drawn to you?
-How do you feel certain spaces, environments and ambiances affect the way we look and behave?
-What spaces make you behave a certain way?
-How does the aesthetics of a space, curation of it's content and signage make you behave?

What is IDENRTITY?
Dictionary Definition
The characteristics determining who or what a person or thing is;
Serving to establish who the holder, owner, or wearer is by bearing their name and often other details such as a signature or photograph:
Origin
Late 16th Century:from Late Latin identities, from Latin idem 'same'

Quote By Katherine Hamley

'Young people are surrounded by influential imagery, especially that of popular media. It is no longer possible for an identity to be constructed merely in a small community and only be influenced by family. Nowadays, arguably everything concerning our live is seen to be 'media-saturated'. Therefore, it is obvious that in constructing an identity young people would make use of imagery derived from the popular media'.
