I based My Four Prints on an experience that had happened in the week that was humorous with a Girl I used to date and the confusion surrounding it. Luke had spoke in his talk about how he incorporated Personal items like his Ex's Underwear.

I used Leather I found at my Ex Girlfriends flat and worked on top of them as concepts that could be sewn onto T shirts I wanted all 4 to correlate or seem ike a Story in order, similar to Kanye west's artwork, my inspiration was Rottingdean Bazaar's aesthetic mixed with 808's and Heartbreak artwork. I explored with Wax the idea of Cum and Self Worth and how I could play around with the favourite materials I'd brought in. I used Screws. Straws, and Duct Tape to represent Sex and stuck them to the Leather material I gathered from my Ex's House with Candle Wax I had melted ontop of them. I enjoyed exploring putting Wax into the straws and seeing how it would run down, this lead to some abstract ideas in my sketchbook; which connects to the clinical theme behind Damien Hirst's Restaurant and the idea of pleasure and Climax, mixed and feared emotions from seeing someone I used to Love.

James was a MA student at Central Saint Martins who was out of the last students to be chosen by Louise Wilson before she sadly passed away. He uses Feathers, Paint, Tinfoil and unusual objects that can be translated into Accessories or forms of Clothing. In his MA Collection he used Yarn to make Glasses, stockings as socks for most of the models. I noticed he likes to have rubber on clothing and placed onto fabric to create a new silhouette or fabric altogether. He likes to make accessories out of everyday type objects to communicate his thoughts, some of which are sexual others more general.

James explores various types of Footwear by sealing shoes themselves in moulds or a casing of plastic to create the effect the model has stood in a material/been stuck or pulled themselves out with the material still being carried from them. In contrast to this he also has some of his models footwear in plastic or black types of casing as if to protect the models feet from any outside terrain or dirt. The footwear on the right itself even causes an impression and abstract pattern on the natural environment itself due to the fact it has big bold casing around the foot.

An Interview with Luke: http://kcguild.org.uk/inspiration/interviews-designers/luke-brooks/

'I am for combining differing structures, so I'll play with any technique to achieve a certain something. This has so far included hand knitting, crochet, machine knitting, knot work, basket weaving, hand painting, cross stitch, foam moulding, resin moulding and flocking.' 

Luke's Views on High Fashion up to Mass produced designs for the High Street:

'Ridiculously cheap, mass manufactured clothes are less desirable partly I believe because they have a tendency to be spiritually defunct and impotent. They have not been imbued with significant energy and the circumstances of their manufacture and retail are totally limiting to their potential as storers of energy and ideas. D.I.Y. clothes made at home, on the other hand, are some of the most potent garments around'

His process when making his GraveStone Rubbings:

'Despite having amassed perhaps 40 rubbings of varying sizes, only certain ones seemed to work on the body, proportionally, texturally and photographically. The construction of the collection was about how to best project this idea of the memory of these departed bodies in relation to the living wearer.
