Chanel's Cruise 2012 Collection Short Film

Definitely an example of how models probably shouldn't be actors, however love the weird and wonderful from Karl Lagerfeld! Always a big fan of a Chanel mini-movie advert and so I do enjoy the promotional short films they, and other houses produce. Miu Miu generally also has some inspiring short films on their website which I love!

Water Babies

For our jewellery elective last month, we had to create a piece of body adornment. My personal focus was running water and droplets and I was inspired by the interaction the human body has with water. The first two pictures above, are a couple of examples of inspirational imagery and pictured third is my final outcome. It is a backpiece, with an aluminium collar and pewter and glass wax drops which were cast and suspended from the collar with thin fishing wire.

Aesthetically, I am pleased with the final piece, however I still feel that it lacks something and doesn't quite fully capture that delicacy of water. I did experiment with a wide variety of materials and did find it extremely challenging to capture a running droplet in suitable materials as it is hard to freeze a movement. Nonetheless, I still think after much experimentation and exploration of possibilities I still created a successful piece of body adornment.
