Pans Labyrinth




I just wanted to to give more an inside into what I love and what kind of films I adore.Capitan despises stepdaughter Ofelia, not least for her love of fairy tales. But deep in the woods, Ofelia has met a wondrous faun, who has given her three tasks to complete to prove her character. If she passes, she will be returned as a princess to her true home deep in the earth. Can she do it? Or will Capitan and the horrors of the real world devour her first?

Growing up my father was always the Captain, I was always told to stop daydreaming and dressing up. Just fabulous

Little More on The Theme




These illustrations in particular have influenced me due to their nature of the actual illustrations themselves. As soon as I saw these illustrtaion I immediately thought of the fantasy films I adore. I thought about the style philosphoy. It gave me an opportunity to research what was important to me as a designer and what I would want my work to convey.


I thought that Iíd begin by researching a little about people born on the same date/month as me. So thus I began to research my starsign, Piseces. I found out some interesting traits that truly related to my personality and my sense of style. I found out that other Pisecians are also fantasists and solitary people. I wanted to bring this into my work and I wanted to use my design to stimulate others into allowing their fantasies and childhood dreams to be activate in their reality. Iíve always had an active imagination and vartious imaginery friends. I thought Iíd base this project on solitude which therefore lets your imagination run wild.

The Theme

"Fantasy mirrors desire and imagination reshapes it", I have again began to think about my philosophy and whilst researching I found this quote which perfectly illustrates my point. Like Theatre de la Mode whom design philosophy is very clear. They don't differ between sexes. I think they do a very good job at this but for my philosophy I would love to exaggerate the female form. I want people to be entertain by my fashions. I want it to be effortless and hyper playful. I think that my demographic would probably appeal to 16-24 year old women, who have an ultra feminine approach to fashion and styling. I know that this would exclude some middle of the row people, but I feel that my personality is far from average and middle of the row.

Frieda's Design Philosophy-Is Glamour and its Pink


We have to think about our design philosphy and what we think our collection or what our fashion brand will represent in the future.
I immediately thought of Heatherette and their promo film for MAC cosmetic.
My fashion philoshopy is have fun, enjoy life. Glitter EVERYTHING , wear make up always...and most important anything Pink is fabulous!

But I really don't want to go through the pink fluffy photoshoot. I want to focus on the other parts of my life. The parts pink can't hide.
