First, we went to the Design Museum to see an exhibition by Hussein Chalayan
called "Fashion and Back". He was a Turkish Cypriot so a lot of his costumes were based off his background such as using very loose dresses due to the hot weather in cyprus and dazzling cypriot materials.
As you can see, he used a mixture of soft colours such as cream contrasted with bright colours such as orange. This is a very popular thing in Cyprus as traditional dresses are generally red and cream.
He had a very unique style as shown in a variety of ways. One of his dresses was covered in bright red lasers and another was a section of dresses that folded up and expanded on the people wearing them.
He still lingered his home country within his clothes along with the colours and backgrounds he used on the outfits and videos shown.
We also had to sketch some pieces and I chose to sketch "Interia/SS/2009" and "Panoramic/AW/1989".
I quite liked his unique style and the fact that he made all his outfits seem different in a variety of ways.
After that, we made our way to Tate Modern to see the "Rodchenko and Popova" exhibition.
They used a wide variety of motifs to present the art in a Russian culture with architecture, painting, sketching and media.
I had to say that I was blown away by the huge variety, there was so much different stuff in each room that i kin of surprised me.
I liked a lot of the art here, preferably "Design for a Child's Dress" by Luibov Popova which I chose to sketch out.
I also sketched a lot of the architecture which gave me a good chance to practice my shading epecilly on "Spatial Construction No.25" by Aleksandr Rodchenko.
I also enjoyed this exhibition mainly because of the variety of different styles and medias used and I wouldn't mind visiting it again.
