Group Meeting

Today we decided to have another group meeting to feedback on what we had been individually researching around our "AGE" theme. It was also an opportunity for us to meet the ninth member of our group Lee and get him up to speed with what we have done so far.
We have also set up a facebook group so that we can easily communicate and arrange our meetings and share ideas etc.


 
 
In my reserarch so far I have been looking into age from a very fashion based perspective. I have been looking into how to capture age through street style and how we can map changes of style and dress as a person changes. I found an amazing blog http://advancedstyle.blogspot.co.uk/ that documents the lives and everchanging style of a group of women in New York. I love their passion and love for clothing and how they still dress like they are going to the opera every day. I just hope I dress that well when I am their age!
 
 
 
 
Along side this fashion perspective I have also been looking to bring our project back into Manchester and have been looking into buildings built at the same time as the art school with a view to use these as the backdrop for our street style images and maybe used in a film context too.
 
 
 
 
After a discussion in our group we found that because thre are five fashion students, a lot of the ideas were very fashion orientated around street style and fashion photography. So we looked into ways of combining the textiles girls ideas on aging fabrics and dying techniques in with our ideas to create something that spanned across all of our interests including film and media. Laura had also found some locations of decaying buildings that you can explore around Manchester so we have agreed as a group to include this idea too. From this meeting we now have two main themes that everyone can focus their individual research on...
-The aging process and how this effects both people and buildings
-Ways of capturing and recording this (photography, film, drawing, street style etc)
 
Our next task is to create a poster to present to the other groups on Tuesday that reflects our research.
