Jinhee Kim - Fashion Print
Describe your graduate collection.
It was about Memories of London and it was divided in halves. One half is my own identity and so I looked around my flat, my area and made observations around there. The other half represents the British gentleman using dark colours and basic shapes and to make it a bit more interesting, I added the moustache!
What films/books/tv-programs/moments and stories inspired your designs?
I really like Magritte and the clouds in his paintings.
Describe the moment you realised you wanted to be a fashion designer?
When I was young, and went to weddings, I really loved wedding dresses and always wanted to make them more beautiful.
If you could go back in time and experience any fashion moment, what would it be?
I really like tidy and feminine clothes so I'd go back to the 50s'.
Where do you see yourself in ten years time?
I haven't really thought about it! I'd love to be involved in textiles.
If you weren't a fashion designer, what would you be?
A chef?
Peter Bailey - Fashion Print
Describe your graduate collection.
It started with the idea for doing a resort collection for men. I wanted to do something with a free spirit, going on holiday and being glamourous. It’s inspired by Cuba.
What films/books/tv-programs/moments and stories inspired your designs?
There was one book full of shots of crumbling buildings in Havana that had all these dusty colours coming through on the walls.
Describe the moment you realised you wanted to be a fashion designer?
I’ve always wanted to be a designer. I remember drawing pictures of shell suits for my brother!
Who is your all time fashion idol?
I love Norman Parkinson. My favourite shot is of Jerry Hall in Russia holding a huge red flag.
If you could go back in time and experience any fashion moment, what would it be?
Old Versace! I want big, brash and trashy! Either that or late 60s’ bohemia, Ossie Clark type thing.
Where do you see yourself in ten years time?
In ten years time, I will be on holiday wearing a resort collection!
If you weren’t a fashion designer who would you be?
I’d love to be a performer of some sort – a disco star!
